The 13th Warrior

[Dmitri_Dragoon]

This movie is sort of old, but I watched it again today and realized it has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it's all the sword play. I love a movie that doesn't have guns, I'm all for the sword. But I was just wondering who else has seen it, and what they thought of it.

Refresh me on what it's about again....it has Antonio Banderas right.....*does his best Chris Kattan/Antonio Banderas impersonation*?

[Dmitri_Dragoon]

Yes it has Antonio in it. It's based on a book by Micheal Chrichton called Eaters of the Dead. That book is based somewhat on Beowulf.
Basically its about an Arab that travels with Norsemen to a village to kill a Bear Cult that is terrorizing the area.

Oh yeah!

I liked it when I first seen it, but it's been so long that I don't really remember any details. I was a good action flick though

"Hello. I'm Antonio Banderas. If you ignore my Latin looks and heavy Latin accent, you might just believe for a split second that I am remotely Arab."

It's pretty good for an action film, and I'm sure the book was better. My only gripe is the casting.

That movie rocks. I remember the summer if first aired on HBO it came on like almost every night. I must have watched that movie every time it was on. Their is something about that movie I never get bored of.

I detested it. It was some random, sparratic mixture of different mytholgy all tied together with Antoino Banderas. Honestly, why does hollywood keep putting out this crap?
