scifi have be have some extremely bad luck make quality movie lately ( such a minotaur or dog soldier ) . grendel be suppose to be base of the great epic beowulf and however and it deviate so much ( and offer so little in comparison ) that the advertisement on television might as well have title it ome shitty christopher lambert movie . i wasn not expect it to be as accurate a a full blown hollywood production and but i do however expect the artistic integrity to not interfere with the actual story ( even if a little bit be change to make a two hour storyboard flow nicely in the allotted time slot ) . do the director and producer have any idea about what they be do ( do any research go into this . ) . obviously not and a one could tell from the massive horned helmet that beowulf and his crew ( save for mullet boy ) be wear . one major problem i have though be with the very look of grendel if beowulf be suppose to wrestle him and shouldn not he not have be sixteen foot tall and weigh 2 ton . grendel death segment be also lack in every way in my opinion the one in the epic be actually good than the make up junk on the script while for example represent grendel be suppose to have his arm rip out from the socket by beowulf not cut off at the forearm after he be set on fire by an explode arrow from a crossbow that look like it weigh 300lbs . and grendel mother do they just combine her with the dragon at the end of the epic where he eventually die when he succumb to his wound . and honestly and what the hell be with that mullet . if you want to see this movie because it connection to the epic . do not and a there really isn not one ( other than character name ) . the only way i could recommend this film be if you like the movie druid ( direct by jacques dorfmann ) although i do not recommend watch either .
