Review of Beowulf & Grendel (2005) by Holly F — 21 Aug 2007
Perhaps half a star too much but, Gerard is my fave actor and he plays the role of Beowulf to a tee. I liked the story, the acting is well enough though I felt the film a bit lacking... A king and his men killed the father of Grendel just because he was a big troll like man, so they say.
The son of the troll, Grendel grew up and took vengeance on those who wronged him and his father. Nothing more, nothing less. It delivers a message that you shouldn't kill someone just because they are different or you fear them or because of some misunderstanding.
Well, time those men faced the consequence of their actions. Grendel spared the drunkard king only because he spared the Grendel when he was a child. What a hairy and bearded child!
