it hard to say what be the bad thing about this show represent the bad acting and poor acoustic of different portion and bad cgi and improper set for the period and the poor script . it would have be nice if the script follow the original tale a bit closer there enough tension and good material in beowulf to provide a great deal of good material and and a good story line and than the scriptwriter could come up with . and why introduce a strange new weapon like a crossbow that fire explosive bolt . i see that this movie be make in only 21 day . it show in the lack of quality . i be begin to think this be general ( poor ) attitude take by sci fi channel ( and others ) when it come to make movie out of classic tale in the past few year . what a waste .
