Not the usual fare

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2007)

13th Warrior was one of the few decent movies that combined Viking love for adventure with a fictional story.
Most movies made with the main theme being "Viking" often decay into sword swinging soft porn. Despite the gruesome scenes, 13th warrior is one movie that you can watch with the family. For movie buffs, that's quite a rarity these days.
The cast was excellent and most appropriate as stars more famous such as Hollywood's leading men would depend on their own appeal to carry a plot without substance. No exotic ladies in scanty to invisible clothes here.
