Product: Beowulf (1999)
Rating: 1.0
Not really worthwhile on any level
I rented this film knowing it would have nothing to do with Beowulf, the book. In fact, I rented it expecting very little, except for maybe a couple good action scenes and some Rhona Mitra cheesecake. There's one passable action scene in the first few minutes, and Rhona Mitra is appealing in her low-cut leather bodice, but she doesn't really do anything in the movie, and frankly, neither does anyone else. This movie is ten minutes of excitement jam-packed into two hours. It's not really "funny bad" in a B-movie way, and it's not really interesting on any other level. The biggest laugh you will get out of this flick is the "Mortal Kombat" rip-off opening credits. If you're looking for a cheesy B-movie to watch, re-rent an old favorite and don't waste your time with this one.
