Positively the worst adaptation of the Beowulf epic poem

Rating: 1/10 (18 November 2007)

I gave it one star because I couldn't give it negative infinity. The adaptation of the classic poem trashes Beowulf's character, making him a braggart and liar.
There is nothing new in this movie. It is all stolen from movies that did it far better. Grendel is straight out of Frankenstein. The CGI would've been better for Shrek IV. The hands were so poorly rendered that they became a distraction. The dragon was stolen from Dragonslayer. The rest is equal parts video game, Le Mort D'Arthur, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Throw in some anti-Christian bigotry and you have Beowulf.
