This movie succeeds because it plays it over the top and straight at the same time. Its an old fashioned adventure movie thats only as good as it is supposed to be. The hero is tragically flawed but heroic. Definitely worth... Full review

THIS MOVIE IS OFFENSIVE!! I for one cannot believe such critically acclaimed actors agreed to partake in this travesty. The director botched the legend, did not follow the original story line, and left Beowulf a neutered old pedophile. People who don’t... Full review

It has a readily recognisable story, eye popping camera work that includes spectacular aerial sweeps, some humour (eg a naked Beowulf retains his modesty by fortunate [and funny] camera placement0, and lots of big scale action.
That also explains the slightly plasticine-like humans, although that's unfair because in fact the characters do have lifelike characteristics, from hair and skin to moist eyes and lovely lips.
