Best adventure flick since Highlander

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2000)

The 13th Warrior have been a long time in the making. But now that it is here, it is a joy to see. If you like, swords and horses, play warhammer or any fantasy RPG or if you are just waiting for The Fellowship of the Rings, then 13th warrior is defiently worth watching. I really enjoyed it. Even though it shows that a lot of matrial is missing (Dare we hope for a directors cut on DVD???) People accuse it for lack of plot, but that is not true, it is there, a lot of it has just been cut out, which of course hurts the film, but these kind of films are few and far between, so whenever one comes your way, you should see it. For all its problems, the film is really good. The sword fights are great and the armours and settings are so great that you lose youself completely in this universe. A great film.
