The Thirteenth Warrior (1999) was an adaptation of Michael Crichton novel Eater's of the Dead which in turn owes a lot to Beowulf and a genuine historical account of a 10th century Arab visiting Norsemen/Vikings in what is now Russia.

The movie bombed at the box office and has generally poor reviews, but I rather like it. (I read the book long before the movie was made.)

I think I saw that movie - it is better than the critics stated. I've a vague memory of it.
