- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2000The 13th Warrior, directed by John McTiernan, is the tale of young Arab ambassador Ahmahd ibn Fahdalan (Antonio Banderas), who's banished from his homeland for loving the wrong woman. On his journeys he meets up with an encampment of Norsemen who's King has just died. Fahadalan (Banderas) is swept into becoming the 13th man of a group burdened with having to travel back to their homeland to confront an evil threat that's bound in such superstition they're forbidden to speak its name. After being prophesied by a soothsayer witch that 13 warriors must confront the evil (and of course the 13th chosen man must not come from the north), Banderas is suddenly thrown in with these heroes (somewhat against his will). Thus, the Norsemen and Banderas engage in a Beowulf style journey into battle against insurmountable odds. I found myself becoming deeply involved with this group as they experienced their perils. I did read "Eaters of the Dead" and this movie follows it pretty closely. Weakness will be found in the the development of the characters and the Norsemen traditions and way of life... which the book describes in more detail. This single issue probably is the weak portion of the film... for the book having included these missing aspects... allows you to have a deeper understanding as to why Banderas and the Norsemen act as they do. However, even without those things I mentioned... this is still a good action/adventure movie. One that I would call a sleeper... for I had heard that it was not that good. Obviously, you will need to make the decision for yourself... but, this movie is definitely worthly of a decision. Beware of gore and violence... because this movie does have them... although, I was amazed that it did not reflect the portrayl of women correctly from the book... remember, this was Norse culture... women were possessions for all practical purposes. Other note worthly aspects... included the positive portrayl of Arabs... as being very well educated and mannered ... which was especially true during this time period. Finally, this is no "Braveheart"... but, alas, it was never meant to be.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024If you read the book slightly similar, very interesting as far as the story goes & action amazing. May not to for everyone unless your into Norse history/legend.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025Love this video
- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020I saw this in the theater, and was surprised how well it holds up after 20 years. This film has a long list of wins and a short list of sins, and suffers from having been made a decade too early. The critics panned it as a warmongering conservative-pleaser (which it isn't). The studio sold it as a rollicking adventure with newly minted action hero Banderas at the helm (which it isn't), so word of mouth hurt. And audiences were unfamiliar at the time with Norse culture (which this isn't), Dark Ages history (which this isn't), the existence of Caliphates as advanced cultures (which this isn't), and the Epic Saga of Beowulf (which this barely is).
As a result, The 13th Warrior never really found it's audience. This film is a sophisticated synthesis of these very different near-ancient fields of study designed to make the hazy past materialize as a real place without diminishing how alien the past is to us now. Now that we have several popular and entertaining TV series about Norse and Anglo-Saxon culture, this movie has a lot more context in which to be appreciated. This film says a lot about the interaction of cultures and values, and the central theme is how much we have to learn from those who are different from us. It's fun, but more than that, it's really interesting.
Starting from the Saga of Beowulf, the writers (working from the 1976 Michael Crichton novel) seek to make that mythical story of the supernatural into a credible story of natural phenomena in a real historical context. Banderas' character, a court dandy and poet from Baghdad, inspired by a real character from a different story, is a proxy for the audience. He is shocked along with us at the barbaric and alien world into which he travels, and puzzled with us by the Norse attitude toward death, collectivist values, and what constitutes success. Most of all, he is the character who grows and changes, finding in himself weakness and prejudice that hold him back.
The worst sin of this film is the Hollywood ending. It undercuts the movie's commitment to plausibility, and throws a wrench into the creeping atmosphere of mystery and dread that the film very effectively builds. Lesser sins include the ridiculous beheadings during combat, misrepresentations of north european cultures (some of which may have seemed more correct in 1976, to be fair) and the unbalanced presentation of the major threat.
Balance that against a compelling story of a man thrust into an alien world and, by coincidence, stumbling into the epic conflict that will be immortalized as the characteristic Saga of that time and place. Feel the wonder of leaving the desert sun and sand behind and discovering the foggy coast and forested hills and low, natural architecture of northern Europe. Hear a movie, for once, not ignore the gigantic barrier of language. See Omar Sharif in the role whose financial failure so shamed him he decided to quit acting!
Seriously, this film isn't great. But it is mostly good, and it is interesting. If you like history, or literature, or foreign cultures, this movie will stick with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandiosa película una de las mejores
La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. Está es una grandiosa, una magnífica historia que entretiene de principio a fin, sus actores hacen un gran trabajo, unas de mis películas favoritas. El DVD solo trae subtítulos en inglés, aún así vale mucho la pena, yo espero que en un futuro le hagan justicia y saquen está película en 4K como debe ser.
