There is no teller here. Its scenes are full of darkness. Its words have the sound of madness shouted in the wind.
01/01/00
The key performances are strong and the sets well-realized, but a spotty script and an awkward anticlimax might have you pining for Bruce Willis' next modern-day disaster-blaster.
01/01/00
The film feels as hollow as empty armor and slightly hackneyed.
01/01/00
It's little more than a shoddy string of action-movie cliches.
01/01/00
Mediocrity should never be encouraged.
04/02/01
everything is first rate except the characters and the story

This stinker barks. It has been fermenting for a couple of years as the creative minds behind it continued to cut, recut then cut again, trying to make steak out of ground beef.
01/01/00
It falls short where it counts: in the final confrontation.

Top CriticThe 13th Warrior is simply without thrills and excitement.
01/01/00
"The 13th Warrior" is a brazen attempt to brand Antonio Banderas as an A-lister with a C-grade script. Failure attends.
11/28/09
Much blood. Much mud. Not enough camp.

. Seeing "The 13th Warrior" is like wishing for light at the end of a long dark tunnel, when we both know nothing is really there.
01/01/00
The 13th Warrior seems like a made-for-TV warrior movie without enough money to get really epic.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt neither follows a trend nor sets one.
01/01/00
Stupefyingly horrendous.
01/01/00
Michael Crichton is quite a character; his films could use a little.
01/01/00
Let's face it. Kull: The Conqueror, as dumb and as hokey as it gets, was a lot more fun.
01/01/00
The cheese flows fast and furious from the screen.
