Let me start by saying I loved “Beowulf”, the epic piece of literature, but I found this rendition of the movie pitiful. Not only did they try to add in some of the Old English language, which they could have pulled of very well if they hadn’t also added in other key words like, “fuck” and “cunt”, but they also didn’t follow the storyline at all or even the general feeling of the story. Beowulf was a dick; prideful, vain, and uncaring to anyone but himself. Grendel was a vicious monster and never, ever in Beowulf did you see Grendel’s side of the story. You read that in Grendel if you read it at all. And it wasn’t even from the same author. So why would you change the main characters around? And why would you change the main part of the story? I would name specific instances which contain certain limbs being chopped off and given as a gift to the King but instead I will refrain. So we decided to write a story of our own, if we can use the setting and the characters like everyone else but butcher the story- why not? I don’t want to go into too much detail because we’re seriously considering taking the project on, but I will leave you with a synopsis. In the very beginning of the movie, the King has a boner the Beowulf catches, and spends the entire movie trying to find a way to tell the King that during his greeting speech, he had a hard on.  What do you think?  What, I’d watch it!
