i be excite that now and with cgi and a great epic tale like beowulf might be successfully make into a movie . i will keep wait for a responsible screenwriter and director to try this again . first of all and i thought there would be more live action or acting . since this have such a lovely cast list and i assume they would really act . the stilted phrasing and wall to wall sexual innuendo make this one of the bad script i have encounter and bring to the screen . beowulf and the great epic be full of magnificent epic poem and richly enhance with kenning and alliteration that bring power and dignity to all of the character . there be no dignity here . instead and beowulf be envelop in shame ( and give this script it be and unintentionally and the only thing they get right . ) please people and read the book . the only thing this movie have in common with beowulf be the name of the character . say no to bastard child and naked mommy of monster and and lip that do not match up with the dialog . the only thing i get out of this be true or false test material for my british literature student who think they can get away with watch the movie instead of read our text .
