Hello people's. Today I'm writing about a movie I watched recently. Here it goes.
The movie is called The 13th Warrior. This movie takes place in Medieval times and it starts off near Bagdad. A man was banished from his home to be an ambassador in a northern kingdom. While going north they have to run from Tartars which would kill them if they got to them. The Tartars see a Viking ship and turn back.
However, the ambassador decides to talk to them and they become guests in the Viking camp. During their stay a messenger comes telling the king of the Vikings that a kingdom back home is being invaded by supernatural forces. The witch in the Viking camp tells them that thirteen warriors must go to help the village. Twelve men step up to the challenge but then the witch says that the thirteenth warrior must not be a northman. So naturally they look towards the ambassador and as the thirteenth warrior he must venture into the north with his companions and defeat the supernatural threat.
The 13th warrior is a very good movie. It is a very manly tale of Vikings and monsters and at no point is it boring. It has some gory horror elements to it as well that brings it all together. The enemy they face is also very scary because of their power and they overwhelm them completely. This movie is based off the book "Eaters of Death."
Bye.

Which was in turn based on Beowulf. :-)
