Plot holes & miscasting spoil this great idea.

Rating: 5/10 (2 September 2001)

(SPOILERS???) I really wanted to like this movie and I kinda do, but miscasting and a nagging plot hole ruined it. The ending is bad because we don't know if he got the girl or not. And seeing Antonio (not ragging on Antonio) but him playing an arab was not the best of idea's. Now Omar Sharif in his day back in Doctor Zhivago days woulda make this movie rock.
I also found that The 13th Warrior made us feel...so what..so he's the 13th warrior, nothing special about him. The movie fails to get us to care for antonia because he doesn't do anything. No big c**kfighting nothing to rally the title of the movie. The leader was the true star of the movie. the 13th warrior is just another extra in a movie. He stands around looking pomposly arrogant. He definately doesn't look arab. Beowulf is better than this.
5/10
