Beowulf done well!

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2002)

This movie was terrific. It kept true to the novel. This film should have won academy awards for Coustume Design and Cenimatography. Let me go through the Pros, Cons, and the Plot.
Plot: 922 AD, an Arab man named Iban(Antonio Banderas) travels with 12 other Norse Men to help aid a defenseless village somewhere in Scandanavia where there have been man eating beasts raiding the village. Along the way, Iban is revealed to Viking Customs and must change to the Vikings Climate too.
What i liked: As said, it had great cinematography and great atmosphere. The action sequences were amazing. Each battle is choriapgrahed well. Great musical score and sounds. Good Story and decsent acting. Good depth in the characters.
What i didn't liked: The place the movie was shot was not in Scandanavia but was shot in Canada. Didn't like the ending. Wish it had been longer to explain the story in better detail.
Conclusion: The Pros far outweigh the Cons witch make for a great action/adventure flick. Give this one a rent.
-=FINAL VERDICT=- 7/10
