Good movie, but it seemed to copy another movie based on old ideas

Rating: 6/10 (13 November 2007)

Beowulf, legendary warrior who had come to the kingdom to rid it of Grendel. This is a story out of British Lit, While those who know nothing about the famous tale would be able to enjoy the movie (like I did), those who know the story will see the vast differences that I credit to creative licensing. In my honest opinion, I felt that this movie tried too hard to beat out a movie that came out earlier this year, 300. With CGI effects abound and great fight scenes, the overall movie seemed lacking in some areas and too overbearing in others. I would recommend this movie to others with a warning: expect nothing but hope for the best.
