What a bomb! (and I don't mean that in a good way)

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 1999)

Goodness, this movie stank!
No character development, a waste of Omar Sharif's talent, revealing/exposing the "evil" enemy (Bear People) too soon, boring battle scenes, the enigma of the point of the 13th Warrior (I mean, what the heck did they need Antonio for?), etc.
Too bad, it could have been a great story, and film. Once again, Hollywood has proven that it has lost it's ability to TELL GOOD STORIES. Special fx are nice, but it doesn't hold up for 2 hours, and certainly isn't memorable enough to make you want to go back for more. Save your money, skip this film and then see something like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for a good adventure that also has a story!
