I just watched it the other day on Tubi. It is funny to see a Spaniard play an Arab. 😹

I watched the first thirty minutes or so last night before bed. It was quite a bit better than I remembered.
Maybe I’m getting tired of CGI-fueled end-of-the-world mega epics, or maybe I’m just getting old. Perhaps modern cinema has strengthened my suspension of disbelief muscle to gargantuan proportions. Whatever the case, I thought it was very enjoyable.
I’m actually kinda looking forward to seeing the rest of the movie.

This film really feels like an old legend to me. Great atmosphere as well.

The thing that I like the most is the hero of the movie. He is a very interesting character.

13th Warrior is a good action/medieval/fantasy/sword and sorcery movie. It wasn't well received when it first came out, but what do the critics know? I always liked it, it's a different twist on an old theme and somehow it works. Yeah sure, the history is dodgy and the plot isn't exactly complicated or high culture, but who cares? It's a fun movie that is well put together and always entertaining no matter how many time you watch it.
"That is an amazing skill! What do you call it?"
"Listening"

Good movie, one of my favorites. Still want to know how that smithing technique of grinding a straight Type X into a curved saber worked, lol.

The 13th Warrior is a good movie for sure. Exciting and fast paced...all with a interesting twist on Beowulf.
Yes it does play fast and loose with history and legend...but then so do a lot of worse movies.
Sit back , keep your sword close in case the Wendol attack and enjoy the movie. Andy
