Beowulf is the newest adap­ta­tion do the epic poem of yore. It’s rather lib­eral with its inter­pre­ta­tion, and as near as I can tell, also adds new and unre­lated sec­tions to the plot.

I tried to watch this movie, and take it seri­ously. Hon­estly I did, and I am sorry to every­one who was around me who was also trying to watch the movie seri­ously. I didn’t mean to laugh at it so much, I really didn’t! But when a man is naked for over half of the film, has ques­tion­able (at best) dialog, and so much over the top fight­ing that a Die Hard fan would squeel with joy… well it’s just too much for me to try and take seriously.
