What a film!

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2002)

I loved this movie! As soon as I heard that it was based on the novel by Micheal Crichton, I had to watch it. I knew that it was about vikings and eaters of the dead. From the beginning of the film when a man is sliced by a viking, I was totally in the film. I just loved the idea to have 13 warriors travel to a distant land and look for the eaters of the dead. It's a little creepy at times. Especially when they are in the caves. This film is not boring at all. Antonio Banderas does a fantastic job in this film. I love his acting. This movie is pretty violent so I don't suggest that you let young kids watch it. The director does a wonderful job with the action sequences especially during the last battle scene where he uses slow motion. Good job John McTierrnan.
