So there are a lot of plot holes and as Ebert wrote lots of action; he is saying, that there is a lot of f/x, too, I wonder what movie he did actually see, as I do very often... (I mean, he did not understand "The usual suspects" despite seeing it twice!!) Anyway, it's a movie I can see over and over again, cause it seems to be old fashioned. You get right into the story and it develops fast, very fast! It's not too long...
But most of all there are characters we like. You want everybody of those heroes to live through the adventure and you admire (sort of) the way they are living - and dying. And when they do, you feel sorry for every one of them. "Hurry to meet death before your place is taken!" And Buliwy to me is the greatest warrior ever pictured in cinema. For those who disagree, well, it's your right to do so, but I do enjoy the 13th warrior every time, and to Ebert: Please make sure you're watching the right movie!
Macaulay J.Connor 8/10
