Highly underrated epic

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2011)

This is one my favorites, if not my favorite movie of all time. Not having read the book (Eaters of the Dead) I cannot comment on how well it follows the book. I do know the author (Michael Crichton)also enjoyed it however.
I find that this movie is by far an away the coolest if not best personification of viking warriors that I have seen. For the uninformed the movie/book loosely follow the story of Beowulf from the eyes of an outsider. Each and every actor fills their role so perfectly for me that I become lost in the story each and every time I re watch it.
I should also note this is probably my favorite Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. Of the many epic movies hes scored, the music in this movie lifts my spirits every time.
I am eagerly anticipating a blu-ray release for this most epic of adventures!
