movie review

Beowulf and Grendel.

Pretty good flick. The purists would not like it, again a story change to improve the audience draw. This time Grendel and his mother are both killed. But another character is added to include a bit of romance and a different twist to the story. A way to give Grendel a motive for his murderous ways.
The free use of the f word and the s word to appeal to the preteens I could have done without, and somehow it just does not really fit, the swearing is somehow too modern for the setting.
And the acting is not all that great
BUT the setting is worth putting up with all the faults. It is filmed in Iceland and is full of Icelandic Ponies. And the music is pretty good to.
