MCT:April 29, 2008Gerald Butler and Ingvar E. Sigurdson are amazing in this awesome and epic Icelandic version of the classic tale.

MCT:April 26, 2008In a strange way, this is preferable to the bombastic CG version, Beowulf is much less of a drinking artard womanising prick, and more of a hero with a conscience. At times it plays much like a corny 80's horror, but for the most part it sticks to Beowulf lore with a much more enjoyable storyline. There is often little diolouge and even less music or sound effects, preferring to let the story and characters take the limelight. A few hints and references to 300 dropped by Gerard Butler make it all the better.
Justins Best Bit: Gnarly mother of Grendel beats a preist in the face for no reason. -
MCT:April 11, 2008Picked it up on DVD after seeing Beowulf. When I'm ready to watch again, this will be the version I'll watch.

It was ok. No bells and whistles. The men were a little wimpy to me. It was probably more believable than the recent cgi film Beowulf. but where did the whole storyline for Grendel come from? LOL.
It was interesting. The end sucked. I expected a little more fight when it came to the mom (like in Beowulf...that was cool). Overall I'll remember it. -

A more intricate and grounded storyline than the more recent film, or even the poem itself. Although its treatment of Grendel's mother was perfunctory, and there were some rather odd moments with the local witch, all-in-all it was a well done adaptation with great scenery, realistic-looking props, decent acting and well-choreographed fight scenes. The accents were rather thick, which gave it a more authentic feel but made it harder to understand.
