Mr. Crichton may have found the perfect venue for his particular brand of character underdevelopment.

Shelved for over a year and probably heavily edited, it's better than it could have been.

If you're in the mood to watch heads, arms and other appendages getting chopped off, this movie is for you.

"The 13th Warrior" is a brazen attempt to brand Antonio Banderas as an A-lister with a C-grade script. Failure attends.

A big cathartic blast.

Exciting battle sequences, intriguing period costumes, fascinating cinematography, and stirring background music contribute to the epic nature of 'The 13th Warrior.'

Michael Crichton's story is underdeveloped and narrow in range, resulting in a tale more curious for its odd confluence of elements than for their edifying deployment.
