Want to see a very strange Norse movie? Watch Severed Ways. I was turned to this movie by a freind of mine. What a mistake. Though I, nor none of us were around during the time the movie is based in, I don't think they referred to the good flavor of cooked fish as being "Killer" or called one another "Dude". I had to laugh as I'm listening to the native language but read those two words in the subtitles. Oh yea, and I forgot. Want to see a very strange Norse movie? Watch Severed Ways.

I too didn't think it was that bad of a movie and in fact, the idea of bringing in Antonio was probably a pretty good one. The book wasn't bad either. The idea was loosely based on the the Beowolf poam. Not sure if it’s posted anywhere else here, but this movie was/is based on a book called Eaters of the Dead.

(Well, in my movie-watching experience they always do, anyway.) I admit Banderas' method of learning Norwegian was a bit hard to swallow, but I enjoyed the fact that they at least bothered to include a Scandinavian language in the film. Viking movies are hard to come by, this was just a fun action/fantasy one. On that note, I'm excited for this new Mel Gibson one. Thanks for posting info about that; it will be interesting to see what they decide to do with it. Hollywood always screws up historical facts!

Yes, it's full of historical inaccuracies but all in all it is a great piece of entertainment.I only wish there were more Norse Movies out there to be honest.

The 13th Warrior is a great movie, despite being fraught with historical innaccuracies, which actually lend a semi - mythic air to the film... I found it tremedously entertaining.
