I've always thought it had that THOR feeling to it what about you?

Yeah, I imagine most movies about vikings will have a Thor vibe. I just watched The 13th Warrior a couple months ago, coincidentally.

FINALLY! what did you think Corp?

It was good. Except... Antonio Banderas as an arab? Eh. But the rest of the movie was cool.

Well the Moors conquered Spain once upon a time, but the real life person Banderas was playing was arabic. Just Hollywood casting a brown person in place of another brown person.

The 13th Warrior is actually just a grounded retelling of Beowulf. The book amusingly is written like it's a translated piece of historical writing.

Yup, Crichton said he wanted to update Beowulf, make it more believable when he wrote Flesh Eaters.

I watch it at least once a month. It runs around 7 bucks at Wally World.
I watched a behind the scenes on 13th Warrior that was on Sci-Fi. I wish they'd make a collectors edition of 13th warrior. The Sci-fi show had cut scenes and the whole deal.
