i just read a review defend this film because it have a low budget and now my take on thing . the cgi monster be reasonable well animate but be implement in the bad possible way . the fight scene weren not even fight it be just one shot of an actor then one shot of monster with very interaction at all . when the monster do interact it look like it be do in paintshop pro . in my opinion if you have a low budget you should use model and puppet . they may not look a fancy but at least they interact and just look at peter jackson early film . a for the act beowulf do an descent job but the rest of the cast be either not try or they forget where they where . the script seem confused to me . one minute they would be talk a if it be a modern day set the next you get drama club shakespeare speech . i be not say it should be all ye and that it be but you need to find a cohesive balance so the line sound like they come from the same person . i do notice one part near the start when beowulf be quote the old testament which would have be find have he not spend the rest of the film talk about the god and portent . in short and this film be a very slightly polish turd and but a turn none the less .
