Review of Beowulf (2007) by Nickb — 26 Dec 2007
A cool animated film, although I kept expecting Beowulf to fidn Shreck and bone him like a fish! Seriously, though, the adaptation is an interesting reimagining of the Beowulf story, treating Beowful himself as an unreliable narrator, while tying in the various elements of his life in to a coherent whole.
Not for purists of myth, perhaps, but those who enjoy studying the film for its merits as a modern remake will enjoy it. One side note: I found the Grendel bits almost painful to watch, like experiencing some sort of weird acid trip.
