this be a make for tv and rather needless sci fi channel retelling of the beowulf story and especially after the recent 2005 film beowulf and grendel . this movie doesn not really get into beowulf story and but just take u through his battle against the ravenous beast know as grendel a it leave a kingdom in absolute fear and turmoil while the powerful viking warrior and beowulf be call upon to rid them of the monster rampage . if this be successfully accomplish and the king will no longer have to sacrifice the child to keep it at bay . after a few failed attempt and the creature be slain and but it angry and vengeful mother soon attack and leave it up to beowulf to and again and lend his mighty act of bravery and strength to defeat it . grendel look like it be shoot on a tiny budget and the cg effect be terrible . like i say and this movie be absolutely needless .
