A great film that sticks quite closely the the original Anglo-Saxon saga.
The film is very atmospheric with great action sequences, brilliant costumes and props and a decent cast who really bring this Nordic tale to the screen with style. If, like me, you love Historical epics then make sure you rent this one then sit back and enjoy being transported through the mists of time to a legend and myth from the Dark-ages.
We chose this on the back of Gerald Butler being Beowulf as Timeline and Reign of Fire were both excellent. This is really dreadful. The plot is not at all faithful to the tale ofBeowulf and takes ages to get to the main action.
Don't waste time by renting this!
