Movie Reviews of Beowulf & Grendel
Movie Review: Fantastic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Beowulf & Grendel in LA. It was fantastic!!!! I love Medieval adventure films and they just don't make enough of them. Sturla Gunnarsson and Andrew Berzins have given us a real treat here. The humor in this adaptation was a real added plus for me and I love the twist it gave to this age old tale. Iceland was beautiful, breath taking to say the least. The acting was superb with strong delivery by all including the weather which played havick with the filming of B&G which we will be able to see in the documentary about the making of this film, The Wrath of Gods. The extras on the DVD will have scenes from this documentary as well. I have pre ordered my DVD of B&G and I will have to have one of the Wrath of Gods when it becomes available too. They will both be favorites to add to my collection.
***I highly recommend this movie!!!!!
Movie Review: Butler fan with bias attitude
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I am an avid Gerry Butler fan but I can still think for myself! I have the movie on DVD as well as all of Gerry's movies. This doesn't mean that I'm in love with all of them. As far as B&G I gave this film a four star rating because of the breathtaking vistas and the comedy. Yes, I said comedy. I don't know if it was meant to be, but I found some parts very Monty Pythonish. I also found some parts quite sad as far as the Troll. He was actually misunderstood because he was different. This is supposed to be what the story is all about. I wasn't happy with the dialog only because and I confess, I couldn't understand most of the accents. I had no problem with Gerry's accent as I'm used to it. He's a Scot what do you expect! All in all I would watch this movie again because I was entertained and isn't that what it's all about?Movie Review: Epic Poem or Movie- expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
If you expect this movie to remain faithful to the epic poem...live in the now! What makes a great poem or a great book for that matter does not necessarily make a great movie. The people who review this movie poorly are the same people that expected Thirteenth Warrior to be exactly like Beowulf and the writings of Ibn Fadlan. I have studied Beowulf both in high school and at university. At not time have I ever expected any movie to be anything like the original. In the original, Grendel was violent with no explanation. That lack of motive simply doesn't mesh in today's world. For those who can't get over the fact that this movie is merely based on the original, get a reality check and enjoy the movie for what it is...entertainment.Movie Review: Beowulf and Grendel
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, to me, was exceptionally well done. The fact that it was made in the area of the original poem made all the difference to me. The scenery was beautiful and the actors did a fabulos job of acting despite the hazards and the cold and the leaking ship and shortages of financing.
Gerard Butler was the most fantastic Beowulf. He made you feel the climate and the atmosphere of the land and problems of the people, I truely liked the fact that he took time to try and understand why Grendel only killed the tribe of the king and not him or the woman. Gerard made you feel the feelings of Beowulf and his confusion at the reason for Grendel's anger toward the king. I loved IT!!!!
Movie Review: Beowulf And The Grendel
Summary: 5 Stars
i read the classic novel in high school and i loved reading that book. iam so excited and glad that there is a movie about the book. i have not seen this movie yet so i cannot make a review about the movie. i just hope this film is close to the book like lord of the rings movie is close too jrr tolkien's novels and the lion,the witch and the wardrobe movie also being close to c.s.lewis novel series chronciles of narnia.
this movie makes me glad to be norwegian.
iam glad to see actors from norway and other parts of scandinavia in this movie. adds alot of authenticity to a film when actors are of the same background of the characters they play.
