If you were ever in a high school English class and read and liked Beowulf DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! BOYCOTT!

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2007)

Sure the action was cool but i couldn't enjoy it as i watched one of my favorite producers of all time do something i could not believe i was watching. I read this story in my English class and found it thrilling and exciting and really grew to admire the character of Beowulf a Brave hero with no desire for riches or reward but only for glory. However the Beowulf of this movie is not that Beowulf, it is a greedy coward of a man who more resembles Grendal than Beowulf. This Must be Without a doubt the worst adaptation of any story EVER. I have no problem with the movie had they called it the golden sea witch or something but leading me to believe i was going to see Beowulf is insulting. This in no way resembles the story of Beowulf other than the names, the story seemed to fallow even with slight inconsistencies during the Grendel portion and i was enjoying it but as soon as Grendel died so did my smile. First off wtf Beowulf did not screw the sea witch! HE KILLED HER! and he did not become king of that land he returned home where he became king when his king died and the kings son was unforchunantly killed he did not have a dragon for a son he was not a coward and this movie is not Beowulf if i wanted to see another movie where the ruined one of my favorite heroes i would have watched Spiderman 3 again. I am really becoming sick of this why do people go to see movies and hale them as fantastic just cus there is a bunch of fancy jumping around and fighting! Does anybody care about substance at all? To counter any who say well if you liked 300 (which this movie stupidly copied PLEASE BE ORIGINAL FOR ONCE) then why didn't you care that it was completely inaccurate too, CUS ITS HISTORY NNOT ANOTHER STORY AND HISTORY Always GETS DISTORTED HELL THE STORY THE GREEKS TOLD ABOUT THERMOPOLY Wasn't TOO FAR OFF FROM THE MOVIE CUS THE GREEKS WON AND WANTED TO LOOK COOL, but this is a story and you cant name a movie after a story and have it be a different movie! Oh and before i go what the heck was all the references to Jesus Christ? THIS IS A NORSE MYTHOLOGY STORY!!!!!!! THATS LIKE PUTTING MOHAMAD IN THE ODESSY AND THE ILLIAD (which I'm sure will arrive in movie theaters near you in 2008 as closely fallowing the story as this film)
