"Prey for the living."

The Arab poet Ahmad Ibn Fadlan catches his eye on the beautiful wife of an influential man in Baghdad and he is promptly promoted as ambassador to a far northern region. On the way to his post, the Arab encounters a couple of Norsemen, whose barbaric habits initially fill him with disgust. However, when the blond warriors are called back home to fight the Wendol, mythical man-eating creatures of the fog, it turns out that Ahmad Ibn Fadlan is the 13th warrior prophesied by the seer, who must accompany the mission to complete the mission. .

Above I have read a lot of different opinions and sometimes the verbal reproofs flew up and down, I saw the film many years ago for the first time and then immediately bought the DVD, so I think it is a good film, not a top film, that not but certainly one that I still regularly put in the DVD player. Why, that has already been described above, this film looks nice. You also have to judge the film as an action film, you have to expect one thing from an action film, action and that is sufficient and well portrayed. You should not expect acting performances, as long as it is adequate and to the point. Banderas is doing well here and I want to see good fights from the rest and take their acting for granted. The moment they first appear on the screen you already know that they will not immediately play the tiles of the roof, but certainly come into their own in the action. The film can also rely on beautiful nature shots and good music.

Some wondered how certain things could be in this film, such as speaking the language quickly, how did they get the clothes and horses, not important to know, this is fiction and it is not disturbing, you can also take it as fact see that they have horses and bearskins. If we are going to judge every film on that, then a little film takes about 5 hours to first explain everything logistics, so don't hurry

I understand that some participants in this forum rate the film less or even higher, I think it just depends on how heavily you weigh it, that's different for everyone. Respect each other's opinion a little and if someone has a different opinion, don't put that person in the corner right away.

I absolutely loved it. An Arab "ambassador" follows Vikings to their land to help a king in need who is at odds with a barbarian tribe. . Of course, everything must remain fun, and that is what the encounter between two cultures ensures. So much more could be done with it, and unfortunately the makers left that unused. Yet this is often breathtakingly beautifully filmed, there is a lot of action and spectacle. Definitely a better adventure movie for me.

Quite a fun and entertaining film, the story (Eaters Of The Dead by Michael Crichton) is doable, you can clearly see the idea of what the story Beowulf also tells or tells something else. The cast plays well. Antonio Banderas certainly does his best in the lead role, I liked the action scenes, I can't add anything to that. But it is certainly not a masterpiece, but it is doable to see it again after 10 years.
