good folk and i stumble on this film on even while i be grade paper . my academic specialty be anglo saxon literature and and i can say that no one have ever do the genre the honor it deserve . the icelandic beowulf and grendel be the least offensive i have see and and i do pay $ 3 . 00 for my copy . this sci fi version rank with the christopher lambert version . yuck . what do not i like . cgi for one . amazingly bad . more importantly be the faithfulness to the storyline and not to mention the stilted acting . i be use to both with all the version i have see . delighted regardless and peter .
