Movie Reviews of The 13th Warrior
Movie Review: How the Mighty are Fallen
Summary: 5 Stars
How refreshing it is to watch this band of intelligent adult white males traveling half a continent and a sea to battle an unspeakable evil. Knowing that many or all of them may be brutally destroyed, they persist with a jovial, steely determination. Why? Simply because this is what defines a man. Or did...
Step into a time-warp. The film's 103 minutes will seem as nothing. Multiple viewings are obligatory, as the story-line is so kinetic.
A rich potpourri of European actors, seldom seen on American screens, adds to the exotic nature of this work.
Author Michael Crichton and director John McTiernan, infected with the film's trench warfare, commenced their own. The final product obviously suffered a brutal postmortem. One can hope the reputed 50 odd minutes/body-parts which ended up on the morgue's floor will find the corpus at some future date. Though obviously hacked, it is still magnificent. It does what all good films do; takes you to another time and place and binds you to worthy protagonists.
At some point in your relationship with the film read Crichton's "Eaters of the Dead".
Based on the actual 922 A.D. journal of an ambassador of the Sultan of Baghdad, Ibn Fahdlan: The 13th Warrior. Astounding tale, if true.
Did Neanderthals survive the Pleistocene? Look around.
