One of my favorite movies.

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2001)

I admit, when I saw previews for the 13th Warrior, I thought it was just another mediocre movie that I will see on TV sometime. And when I actually saw it, I was blown away.
The 13th Warrior is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I have never read 'The Eaters of the Dead' by Chrichton, but after seeing the movie, I'm going to. Antonio does a good job portraying Ibn; the 13th warrior chosen to accompany Buliwyf (Vladimir Kulich) and the 11 other vikings to defend a kingdom being terrorized by neanderthal-like cannibals named the Wendol. One of the things that is great about this movie along with the action and script, is the folklore and vikings. All the actors who are playing them were brilliantly casted. Although the movie is awesome, the DVD lacks big time. Hopefully paramount will release a 13th Warrior: Special Edition, but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon.
For anyone who likes action and adventure, I highly recommend this movie.
