This is my second favorite film on the Beowulf tale, my favorite is the 2007 live action animated film with Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie. Some of the settings were spectacular and I suppose, overall, I did get an impression of a mythical history of the north. Fantastic animation and unbelievable value. I watched the directors cut version of this film, having recently read the Heaney translation of the original story. Even the sex scenes weren't bad. A so-and-so film but with some good points, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 16, 2016. This one goes too PC and, I dunno, Canadian in pitching Grendel as a poor misunderstood outsider wronged by the smug, kinda racist Hrothgar. Beowulf sets aside his armor and awaits the monster. The director tries all he can to make the setting and costumes and psyche of these people realistic for the fifth and sixth centuries after Christ when Denmark was still believing in the Nordic Gods, Odin first of all, and before the arrival of Christianity at the beginning, after its arrival at the end. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. But instead of making explicit the references to the giants and pre-human species surviving in total exclusion, instead of making explicit the reference to the runes brought to human beings by Odin himself, the director chooses a sexual line, from beginning to end.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2019. It was refreshing to see a good movie without any CGI or fancy explosions or computer animations. In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all, Beowulf. In my opinion, a modern, albeit inaccurate retelling of the epic saga of the Swedes of the Geatlands and the Danes of Denmark with a remarkable cast, written in a modern style which approximates old English in conjunction with a deeply symbolic representation of the motif of the hero's tragic flaw, excessive pride. It is a tale both terrifying and mesmerizing, lingering and stewing within the soul, long after you've feasted upon its tantalizing flavors. This is quite clear in the electronic and computer game conception of the fights. This rewriting of the tale is thus for a modern audience, what's more for a young audience. Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020. Hence Grendel is the "son" of the local king when Beowulf arrives in Denmark and the dragon will be the "son" of Beowulf himself. The 13th Warrior, which this occasionally imitates, is a much better recasting of the Beowulf story.
