Good action, but could have been SO MUCH MORE

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 1999)

This movie gets a 5 out of 10. The medieval story, incredible scenery, and solid action were all worthwhile. However, the story of a 10th-century Arab journeying in the Norse World and the Beowulf epic upon which the story is based are barely touched. The plot had holes in it and was not well-constructed enough to keep you interested. The action scenes would be more engaging if there was more reason to care. See this only if you truly love a good medieval action film, and can deal with a subpar storyline.
