Neanderthals u fkn magic spastic. They just cheaped-out on the make-up.
Everything else is a total lock to remnant ~~*Neanderthals*~~.
There's anew movie out called "Out of Darkness" which is about some "modern humans" (tribal types but cast in Blackrock ESG style so there's no consistency in their genetic types) coming across a mysterious force, perhaps a giant serpent, which then turns out to maybe a single individual, then a second, then subtle tells that there's a whole tribe running around hiding their numbers and pretending to be the same person (wearing similar masks), taking them out Friday the 13th/Jason Vorhees style (by way of Hot Fuzz's cult's tricks - one shot/evasion trick is exactly the same as Hot Fuzz), but retaining prime breeding individuals. Which again, is a very ~~*familiar*~~ ancient traditional practice of a certain extremely inbred race.
I've seen this only once, years ago, but my lingering memory of it is, that it's one of those a bit stupid movies that take themselves too seriously, without realising how stupid they are.
Let me guess. You're one of those people who thought Antonio's character learned the Viking's language in one night because you couldn't tell that the entire scene was a montage of different nights.
Just read the book a little while back. While I knew the movie was based on a novel I had no idea until I started reading that the person Banderas portrayed was real and the events were from his own writings.
Yeah it’s based on real people and events. Scenes at the first Viking camp with the ship burial and the meal where they clean up with the same bowl of water in particular stick close to his description.
actually this movie goes arguably even deeper into the "outsider integrates into foreign culture and learns its values" thing as the Muslim even uses a Viking prayer at the end which lets be real most muslims would see as super-offensive.
Not particularly at that time tbh. Nowadays sure, but back then "the prayers of the unbeliever are as valuable as they are genuine" was pretty much the rule.
They're not noble they are shown as dirty and crude. Comparing Last Samurais depiction of japs to the depiction of Germanics in this has to be the most braindead thing any person ever wrote on the internet.
The bear-folk were kinda ill thought-out. >Very primitive >live underground in secrecy >own hundreds of horses and have a cavalry force that eclipses those of all viking jarls combined.
I don't want to be that guy, but what did they eat? Where were they held and pastured? How the hell didn't the vikings notice and deal any of it?
Why do people hate this film? >inb4 it's not historically accurate
Just watch a documentary. For the sake of a good story, any film should take some artistic license
Usually the german bluray releases have the english audio track as well as the german one. You just have to buy them from a german shop.
If you can find it, that is (They also rename most movies to some crazy german title that isn't a direct translation).
The production was super troubled and I don't think the industry liked that Michael Crichton basically took over production from Director John McTiernan and then even with re-shoots and stuff it ended up as a box office flop. I'm assuming the marketing was bad and it just wasn't good timing for a historical epic because the final product is a fairly exciting adventure movie and very rewatchable.
My mum took us to see this when it came out at the long gone de anza drive in theater. It double featured with another movie, which I think might have been escape from la, the inferior brother to escape from NY.
its ahistorical dogshit, tuned out when they started fighting magic orcs
That's the point, it's a mix between fantasy and history just like the novel it's based on
Also, they were just cavemen
They are just non-PIE neolithic natives. Like the basques.
theres no magic, moron

>anon doesn't want to venture into the unknown with a warband of foreign people
ngmi
normies can't handle true kino

>Thinly veiled admittance that that's exactly what he did himself
Damn anon. You stupid.
Not that anon, but that thread has been made here more than a few times.
No, just that your type of hyper-opinionated stupidity is depressingly common.
Mine. Because I am the same anon, right? How new are you?
How new are you that you've never seen a 13th Warrior thread here before, let alone 50, potato nuts.
AAaa, igge bed
Lo do I here my father
Lo there do I see my mother
It's kino but it was a flop in terms of box office. Same with Waterworld
I like it when he learns to speak the Viking language or whatever it is in the film
I like it too because that's exactly how I learned to speak English.
You listened to a bunch of chavs insult your mother and you insulted theirs in turn ?
butchered in editing unfortunately

Who are the other 12?
Beowulf and crew.
the 12 angry men
>dude wypipo were so savage and backwards vefore islam
no thank you
if that's your takeaway from the movie then you seriously need to lay off the lead paint.
it's not the takeaway it's the literal fricking premise moron
lol its literally Last Samurai/Avatar/Dances with Wolves except this time the noble savages are white people and you still complain.
actually this movie goes arguably even deeper into the "outsider integrates into foreign culture and learns its values" thing as the Muslim even uses a Viking prayer at the end which lets be real most muslims would see as super-offensive.

they rent though, they are shown as brave, honorable and friendly.
Islam was kino back then, not the goatfrickers they are today.
HONEY! IT'S MADE OF HONEY!
It was kino and Im sick of pretending it was not
You never did that. You're just sick in general.
It's a cool setup with a really dumb second half. It just fizzles out.
One of my go to movies.
The bear-folk were kinda ill thought-out.
>Very primitive
>live underground in secrecy
>own hundreds of horses and have a cavalry force that eclipses those of all viking jarls combined.
I don't want to be that guy, but what did they eat? Where were they held and pastured? How the hell didn't the vikings notice and deal any of it?
Me and my brother watched it non stop ad kids and quoted it all the time.
Supreme entertainment kino.
Why do people hate this film?

The only real gripe i ever had with with it was that Banderas was a miscast. I know why they did it, but he was still a miscast.
the world is full of philistines that don't recognize john mactiernan as the second best director in the world
WHY IS THERE NO BLU-RAY RELEASE OF THIS FILM EXCEPT IN GERMANY. WHY THE FRICK DOES GERMANY ALWAYS GET SPECIAL BLU-RAY RELEASES AND NOBODY ELSE
FRICK.
Germany dubs almost every movie. It's pretty crazy. That's why they have their own special editions and stuff.
Can't somebody just take the German video and slap english audio over it?
Usually the german bluray releases have the english audio track as well as the german one. You just have to buy them from a german shop.
If you can find it, that is (They also rename most movies to some crazy german title that isn't a direct translation).
are you guys talking about purchasing a physical bluray?
because it takes 5 seconds to find a bluray rip on e.g. 1337x
you're a gay if you don't like this movie
ebin
i mean who can dispute those lucky quads>?
The book is super cool. Presented in fragments of found texts like it's real.
The production was super troubled and I don't think the industry liked that Michael Crichton basically took over production from Director John McTiernan and then even with re-shoots and stuff it ended up as a box office flop.
