Pretty good retelling of a tale yet a bit gimmicky
You cannot have too many versions of a classic "Beowulf" handed down verbally for many years and eventually written around 700. It was suggested that the story when written down was by monks and may have been altered for their purpose. Some versions are too far in left field; yet other versions or views can enhance the story. This rendition was just downright fun to watch. br / br /Yep this is the old English story of heroes and monsters. You may find a few differences as who was Grendel's father. In addition, Angelina Jolie gets to play a seductive mother. br / br /Unfortunately, the movie relies too much on the GCI gimmick (with a video game look)and many well-known actors. br / br /The version I watched is the director's cut and Blu-ray. Some good DVD extras help fill in the missing parts of the story. br / br /Beowulf Grendel [Blu-ray] br /The 13th Warrior [Blu-ray] br /Beowulf: A New Verse Translation (Bilingual Edition) br /
