The 13th warrior

« on: March 03, 2008, 11:11:42 AM »

Anyone has an idea, why this movie was quite hampered/sabotaged by producers? and even long scenes cut unlike Director's will !!

Well, I read Beuwoulf and didn't like it... and read this... and didn't like it... and saw the movie... and didn't like it.

It was this progression of suckiness that kept me from seeing the new "Beuwoulf" movie that just came out, which is a shame. I've heard good things. I'll have to get it on DVD.

As for "The 13th Warrior"? It was just too damn boring for me... but so was "Braveheart".

It must be me.

I liked the movie and it had a ton of potential but the "maneating" enemies just weren't put together very well...it was a bit anticlimactic.

I thought the move was the shiznit.

I loved the movie. Was a bit gory, but the story and the atmosphere and the way it caught the era...just liked it.
But I'm into historical novels and that kind of era... and Antonio Banderas...although the big blonde nordic leader guy...nothing wrong with him either... Roll Eyes
