they only good thing about beowulf was that the special effects and CGI were really good! i dont think hey followed the old legend closely enough. it also really annnoyed how beowulf got naked to fight grendel. that was just really weird to me, i felt bad for grendel. and angelina jolie playing grendels mom was really out there, and the fact that beowulf slept with her and that they had a mutant baby was ridiculous. that wasnt in the legend at all. plus beowulf looked a lot like boromir from lord of the rings, which is odd because sean bean didnt even play beowulf. if they were going to make him look like sean bean, then they should have gotten sean bean to play him instead of ray winstone. it was just a really huge disappointment in so many ways!
