Ah Beowulf

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 1999)

Nice to see classic literature as the basis for a new movie.
This was no artistic masterpiece but it was a good portrayal of the Norse culture, no big horned hats, no brutes wandering about looking like refugees from those Wunderbar ads they made in the 70's and have, inexplicably, put back on the air now.
I really liked the cast. Banderas did a fine job. Not entirely believeable but not a fantasy movie. And the scene of him learning their language was an excellent piece of film-making.
