beowulf have be my personal favorite book ever since i read it . i read it three time now . every movie i have see or hear of base off the book be nothing ridiculously bad but you could easily tell why they weren not in theater and some of them be decent but nothing too exciting . i be really excite last year when i hear that a beowulf movie be actually go to be release in theater . so the wait be over and i finally saw the movie . it be nothing like i anticipate it to be . the movie show grendel a some sort of monster to be pity and which the book show him a a heartless demon without mercy . grendel be more of an annoyance than anything in the movie with his constant whining or yelling and immature and babyish and personality . grendel mother in the movie be mainly an animated angelina jolie and which again and her personality and look be nothing like the book . the movie show grendel mother and the dragon to be in some sort of league with each other . the dragon be kill year after beowulf kill grendel mother and accord to the book . so in other word you have a great story but a shtty movie . the cgi animation throughout only make it even worse . the book be not base on norse mythology and which the movie make reference to odin and ragnarok and such and but rather base on belief of god . ( the book be supposedly write by a christian monk with all these reference to god ) i be not say that this entire movie should be base on the book . but i be expect something similar to that of the 13th warrior and which strongly remind me of beowulf every time i watch it . it have a dark feeling throughout and be about a culture similar to that of the viking and and be well write . beowulf promise animation and annoy accent and annoy yelling or screaming and and whine . it felt like watch a child version of pathfinder mixed with shrek . beowulf be show a a fallible character and be persuade into a deal with grendel mother . i could go on and on with the mistake of this film and how much of a disappointment it be .
