" Hulu- 1hr. 43min. First Viewing The 13th Warrior is just a complete slog. A story that should be a fun, swashbuckling throwback is rendered a lifeless bore by an anemic script and flat direction. There's really not much to say about this one. There was rarely a moment that went by that I didn't feel guilty for not turning it off and watching something with, at the bare minimum, a pulse.

"First viewing - June 11th Sigh. This movie. I mean, it's fine I guess but I couldn't get too excited about it. Kinda odd having Antonio Banderas playing an Arab, but hey at least it's not a White dude. I was entertained, but only passively, and I can't think of much worth discussing about it."

Directors Who Got Fired from Their Own Movie (20 movies items)

"John McTiernan Replacement: Michael Crichton (Crichton took over for reshoots after McTiernan's first cut tested poorly, but McTiernan still maintained credit)"

“A decent adaptation of a fantastic retelling of the Beowulf myth (by Michael Crichton) that opts for realism instead of fantasy and has a nice underlying theme about finding beauty and honor in other's cultures. Though hobbled by the odd casting choice for the lead and a short running time that stunts some of the character development early on it mostly pays off with the wonderful parallels, rousing music, and a refreshingly restrained approach that eschews the standard Hollywood sensationalism.” read more
