Beowulf and Grendal(Gerard Butler)

Good Film didnt stick to the story to well, espeically considering its an Anglo-Saxon poem and the filn is set in Denmark and Beowulf is now a Geat.....yes on the plus side the weapons are all historically viable and the sets were good and the Irish Priest is great makes me proud lol

I can't say I had a favourable opinion of the film. I found the acting sub-par at best, the fight scenes quite unremarkable and overall just didn't like the film at all.

true enough but it could have been much much worse

Err... The poem actually states that beowulf was a geat, and that the story took place in Denmark!

Yeah, Beowulf was a Geat and Hrothgar was king of the Danes.

I loved the movie, but I'm really looking forward to the CGI movie coming out in November. It looks like it sticks to the original story a bit more. But I don't mind deviations from the book if it's done in an entertaining way (as "Beowulf and Grendel" did).
