Beowulf & GrendelWho's in it: Gerard Butler, Ingvar Sigurðsson, Sarah Polley, Stellan Skarsgård
What's it about: Beowulf(Butler) is a superhuman figure who lives in Geatland. He is called upon King Hrothgar(Skarsgård) to help save his army from the devilish figure named Grendel(Sigurðsson). When he arrives to take care of Hrothgar's problem, he meets that lovely witch Selma(Polley). She can talk with Grendel in his unknown language of the Trolls. Beowulf is told to extinguish the life of Grendel, but when Selma tells his not to do so, Beowulf is stuck in a rut between love and duty.
What I Think: Seeing as I know the real story of the ancient Beowulf, I was not so impressed with this movie. So many things were twisted around differently and I didn't like that one bit. Beowulf was supposed to pull off Grendels arm painfully and he wasn't supposed to fall in love with a witch. However, I loved listening and watching my favourite actor of all time, Gerard Butler. The continuous peeing on things began to get old after a while. This could have been done way better than it was.
