A Genuine Review of The 13th Warrior

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2013)

13th Warrior is a 1999 action/horror film directed by John McTiernan. So the 13th warrior is based off a book called the "Eaters of the Dead" and I my self have never read the book. The film is about a banished poet who teams up with 12 viking warriors to travel to a distant land and banish an ancient evil. We are soon treated to some very cool action scenes involving the cannibals and the vikings. The film is silly yes but I think in this case all the actors turn in very some very impressive performances and it blends perfectly with the silly action. If I had one problem with this film it is that there is no real evidence of character development for Antonio Banderas's character,it just sort of happens. See this flick if you enjoy action movies like Aliens and Predator.Skip if you dislike silly action movies that are fun and bloody. 8.5/10
