The Thirteenth Warrior

[Cuddles]

Great movie with fantastic score by Jerry Goldsmith. Never knew it was a Crichton, so might chase up the book out of interest.

I have seen the movie and enjoyed it, does anyone know if it is also a book?
I usually find that books are so much better than films as movies tend to twist the plot and leave out bits of the book.

The book was called "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton. I think you will find it better than the movie. Although Crichton does seem to write with the movies in mind.

Good movie as well as the book. I was surprised about how much the movie stayed in line with the book. Antonio Banderas's performance was extraordinary, and the plot was very original. This is the first story relating to the Vikings that I have seen and enjoyed and I would recommend it to everyone who likes epic battles...

Man that was a great movie. I loved it

A great movie!

I didn't knew it was a Crichton's story.

I liked the way by which the director showed us that the character of Antonio Banderas learned the Viking language during their journey to Scandinavia. And also the use of a man of letter to justify its hability to learn it so quickly. It's rather rare in fictions to see this issue of the language gap so cleverly bypassed.
