The movie Beowulf was a lot different than the book Beowulf. For instance, in the book I don't really remember being this guy who was really arrogant on himself. I also don't remember Grendel's mother being a sexy temptress. And any rate the Hollywood movies have to be entertainment so that's pretty much the movie. I did enjoy the scene at the end with the Dragon and Beowulf fighting. I was also surprised at how violent the movie was for a PG-13 rating. In any case it was a fun interpretation of Beowulf, and at least the characters were kept mostly intact.
