Beautiful landscapes, good actors, intense story and wonderful fantasy right out of the 10th century A.D.
The great warrior Beowulf is called to help the King of Daneland to defeat Grandel, the troll who kills his men. But Beowulf, being more than a mean killing machine, wants to find out want is behind Grendel's mission of revenge. With the help of the local witch, he uncovers the bloody past of the Dane's king and the troll...
Gerard Butler plays Beowulf, the Geat warrior, and you really buy it. He has shown his talent as the Phantom of the Opera as well as the traitor in Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
The whole thing seems very real. The dialogues make sense and seem possible, there are no ultimate bad guys, that are responsible for everything bad on earth anyway, and the costumes are good too. I'm no historian, but as long as not all the Norse folk have helmets with horns on them, I'm satisfied.
