This is the first movie I ever saw with Ewan McGregor and from start to finish I thought he was amazing! The story was great - the characters flawed and richly detailed. Utterly quite perfect!
Aww man, after seeing this movie I wanted to be the Spartan Queen, kill a bunch of people standing by my King and then go home and enjoy myself. Harruh, Harruh!
I like they way the writers returned to the original poem, weaving in the history of the story while adding more ambiguity to both Beowulf and Grendel's actions. I thought it was quite original.
Nearly perfect homage to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies, it frightenly stands alone as a great movie. I admit it grew on me after repeated viewings.
