Product: Beowulf (1999)
Rating: 2.0
It's just a movie...
There's two ways you can watch this movie:#1 - as a film rendition of the great epic poem of the same name.#2 - as a cheesy action flick.Once you settle into watching this movie as #2, you'll be Ok. If you expect this to be Beowulf ("t ws god cyning!"), you'll be severely disappointed, as the movie seems to just borrow a few key ideas from the poem, but goes on it's own from there.It took me about 10 minutes to stop looking for parallels between the movie and the poem, and when I stopped doing that, I was finally able to settle into watching the movie.I wouldn't buy this movie, but I rented it, and for $5, it kept me busy for a couple of hours.
