Limb-fest 2000!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2000)

This had to be one of THE most violent films of all time!(not that that is necessarily bad!) And whats really cool is that there is actually a pretty decent story behind this extremely cool viking warrior movie. It's sort of a retelling of the classic poem Beowulf, but instead of Grendel (the big evil monster in Beowuf) there's this army of brutal savages who are believed to be demons. Antonio Banderas (desperado) enters the movie as an arabian poet kicked out of his village because he liked this lady. So he winds up in the Norse land (huh?) and winds up helping the villagers to fight the evil creatures. I know that doesn't really sound very interesting but trust me, it's cool(hey, if i told you the whole story it would ruin it). So, if you like Banderas, swords, carnage, and vikings, i HIGHLY reccomend this movie!
