That's actually a fair criticism. I didn't know more than three of their names until I used subtitles AND IMDB. And some of the 13 were real throw aways and most of them died poorly. I mean the grizzled old fuck with an axe(Olaf) for a hand dies first?! How lame is that?!Megalodon said:Eh, don't care what people say I fucking love that film. Admittedly I'm heavily biased towards anything Viking, but I honestly struggle to find fault with the film, other than it could've been longer and developed more of the 13 than Bulveye, his small blond No.2 and Banderas (and I guess made names a tad more obvious so I'm not stuck with 'blond guy' as a descriptor). But otherwise, good banter, good action pieces, rising tension and satisfying finale, it's everything I want from a film of its genre.
And the badass archer(Riffle) lets a Wendol gut him effortlessly for no reason.
They could have fleshed the characters out more and used them to better effect.
