"The 13th Warrior": the dictionary definition of studio mishandling.

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2012)

It may be because I'm starved for an honest-to-gods Norse movie, but "The 13th Warrior made for a rather kickass Viking/action/adventure/horror movie; a sweeping epic (at a less-than-epic length), featuring a rousing battle score, beautiful cinematography and some very nice swordplay (indeed, the movie really got going when Banderas fashioned himself a sabre). There's much fun to be had watching authentic warriors slay the predators, and the film etches itself into your brain with a supremely heartfelt and triumphant ending.
7.5/10
