Fellas.

 

I have a copy of "The 13 warrior".

 

It is about a group of vikings and an Arab who fight cannibal cavemen.

 

I know it sounds childish, but it makes you wish you were a Viking>

 

If you have not seen it, do so.

 

ODIN..count the dead!!!!!!

The best line of the movie:

 

Lo there do I see my father

Lo there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers

Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning

Lo they do call to me

They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Vallhalla, where the brave may live, forever.

 

The Vikings' battle prayer; how cool is that???

This movie was filmed in a town not far from where I live and I actually know some of the people involved in its production, movie armourers by and large.

 

The story is a good one, and it is essentially the Beowulf saga retold. The movie is based directly on a novel written by Michael Crighton, called "The Eaters of the Dead", which is an excellent read.

Yeah, I'd really want to be a viking, particularly after waking up in the morning and getting a little wash from the community bowl.

 

That scene just about made me throw up.

 

However, I love Antonio Banderas, and that's about the only thing that saved that movie for me. I thought the best scene was where Banderas' character was lying away from the vikings at night, and he listened to learn their language. The transition between Norse and English was pretty cool.

 

I also thought that the scene where the village woman putting boiled cow urine on Banderas' head wound was pretty funny.
