The 13th Warrior

[Right of Might]

Has anyone heard anything either way regarding 13th Warior? It's a Touchstone which is owned by Disney so...Where the Hell is it. That movie is a must own for me and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Rumored from Beatboy77 for the middle of next year...

Really? I though it wasn't that great.

I agree. Although not the greatest movie ever, it is one i want to own on Blu Ray. Where is it?

It's like one of the ultimate guys movies. For me it's right up there with 300. Plus it would look pretty to see the Firevorm in 1080p . Plus it's from the same guy that gave us Die Hard and Predator...come on what's not to like?

I dunno. I considered the 300 way to fanciful (note, I do own it). The 13th warrior was a movie taking myth and legend (ie a book) and making it real. The 300 took fact and made it fantasy. Honestly, all the years spent studying history just revolted at the idea of fact becoming fantasy. Especially when those fanciful touches barely added to the movie. The truth was insane enough.

300 was not based on fact, it was based on legend. Anyways, if you guys like 13th warrior better... then I guess to each his own.

I am a big fan of this movie. C'Mon touchstone! We're waiting!

Also, for the record, I have, and only can, watch 300 once. It was good, but I didnt love it, and I dont have the desire to watch it again. 13th Warrior on the other hand, I can watch over, and over, and over...

Now this is funny. Granted 300 is much more artistic than 13th Warrior, but they are both in the same genre. It was kind of relative. 13 vs. hundreds and 300 vs. thousands. I simply love both movies and own both movies. I can't believe someone that liked 300 so much is "ehh" with 13th warrior. 13th warrior is a much more grounded and believable film even being legend. 300 is so stylized that it is a hard sell for some people to enjoy. When you break it down both movies are about an elite group of warriors defending their people against overwhelming odds. So yeah they are comparable .

I enjoyed 13th Warrior and would like to have it on Blu-Ray as well

I'll start by saying that both these movies are amazing and i do own both.

Think about it relatively... how sick was 13th warrior for it's time, the story was unique, kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through, the action scenes were awesome and they really developped most of the characters. I know that when compared to the advanced effects of 300 (not to mention it was a Frank Miller flick so you know its gonna be gruesome and graphic) its not gonna seem as good. I'm even gonna go so far as to say that i PREFER 13th warrior over 300... lol.. k well lets not get carried away. Obviously people are going to think that 300 is a better movie but you gotta think of it relatively, when the movie came out 8 years ago cinematic technology was nowhere near where it is not.
13th warrior just has nostalgic meaning to me and seriously when is it coming out on blu-ray.
P.s. after seeing this post i did some digging and i never realised how badly 13th warrior did at the box office lol. i can't verify the credibility of this site but apparently 13th warrior holds the record of losing the most money at the box office

I wouldn't compare 300 to 13th Warrior either because 13th Warrior is a thousand times better IMO. I love that movie and can't wait to buy it on Blu.

you read my mind , "13 warrior" is great , i like "300" but...13 blow me away

[Right of Might]

Yeah don't get me wrong, I really liked 300 but if given the choice of which one I'd like to have on Blu...it'd be 13th Warrior without a doubt. Thank God it was a Touchstone release so there's hope.
