I was a WARRIOR To stay in my seat through this Film!

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 1999)

This Has To Be the biggest dissapointment of the Summer Films! Antonio Banderas is told through the Nordic Interperter "You Are To Be The 13th Warrior",Then his Arabian Moslem character follows the Vikings without question! This is the beginning of endless deadend plot details...which are Never answered.. While This Movie does have much going for it,ie..Excellent Scenary,Good Effects,etc.. It Simply leaves the Viewer scratching their head! If it was'nt for the fact that I got in free I would have left the theater myself. First off Banderas's accent is all wrong for an Arab,Ludicrous at the least. Secondly,He somehow becomes this great warrior through osmosis, no training ever occurred.."You Will Learn Brother"... Thirdly,The Cannibal/Enemy is never explained..."The Hidden Enemy..They are not human,...or Are They?" The ending is weak...I saw this Movie in a Theater with 400 people,and all could Not wait to get out as soon as "The End" came up No Applause,No Boos even,Just Up and Gone,all In Unison!!!
My Review? Good Camera Work,And Visual Effects...Poor Writing and Plot...It Was A NoBrainer of a Show...
