A massively underappreciated adventure film

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2000)

Very much in the spirit of classic adventure epics, The 13th Warrior has been somehow underrated and underappreciated. It is gritty, down-to-earth, and credible, not to mention technically masterful and thoroughly entertaining. It is also perhaps the most accurate portrayal of Viking culture ever put on film (although, really, how many Viking movies have there been?). Don't pass it by--this film deserves better than it got.
