I really liked this movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2009)

When I watched the movie "13th Warrior" it reminded me a lot of the poem "Beowulf" , because they are very similar-, I believe that's this poem is loosely based on Beowulf. I really liked the main character in the story; he reminded me a lot of the character Beowilf. "Amed" was very brave and loyal to be fighting as a warrior. I was really supervised of how similar the two stories are. When I was watching the movie I felt like I was watching what actually happened back in the Angelo-Saxon times. This movie had a lot of action and kept me on the edge of my seat. In the movie I especially liked the part when he realizes he is a warrior and defeats the evil people murdering in Hrothgar's kingdom. I think the setting of the story was really interesting, how the people back then acted; they had very poor hygiene, and I thought it was really surprising that they would settle disputes by fighting with weapons. The actor's clothing and dialog I thought to be very authentic, because when I think back to that time how the actors looked and dressed is very similar to what I picture in my mind. That made it easy for me to be able to get in to the movie. I really enjoyed this movie; it was authentic; there was a lot of action scenes, and I think that the setting dialog, and clothing, and actors were great making the movie seem real.
