@BUFFALFRO Definitely.
A vicious cycle of screwing the same demon-woman? It's perverting the legend of the hero.

@Kyuubi424 plus the ending is way way off

awesome scene. praise alan9962! praise youtube!

@fdslk1 Yeah. I think this movie would've done much better as a separate project.
A man who's genes cause a woman to give birth to a dragon? You could go anywhere with an idea like that.
But Beowulf? It's a folktale that is several centuries old. It's a testament to Anglo-Saxon literature; let it be.

@Kyuubi424 Well, that can be part of the historical context they tried to introduce, since the known version of Beowulf is a christianized version of a long lost story. So, we can say that this movie is not the adaptation of the poem "the bards sing about" as the movie refers, but "what could really have happened" and that can be indicated by the mentions of the Jesus, as a new god, in the movie. I find this movie quite nice as a spin-off and interpretation, but as a formal adaptation, not :D

@fdslk1 Exactly. The idea of a book is to allow for some imagination.
On top of that, they try to make Grendel seem like a tortured soul; he's a frigging demon. He thrives on death and blood. He's a means by which Beowulf can prove his strength.
-
@Kyuubi424 that's why I said: "some kind" the problem with this movie was they wanted to humanize the monster from Beowulf, Grendel acted more like a child, rather than the motherfucker he was in the poem, and yes, I agree... how did grendel's mother gestated a dragon? No one knows, it's stupid indeed. Hell, no one is even sure how did Grendel's Mother looked like.
-
@fdslk1 The dragon's 'origin' was not explained; it's reasons for attacking were.
But still; why bother with such a ridiculous concept? A dragon born from a human and a demon? It makes no sense, and it's not explained well enough.
You don't compare a Dragon's origin to that of a Balrog.
-
@Kyuubi424 I agree is quite ridiculous in this scene at least, but the point of this movie was to actually provide some kind of explanation of how the dragon encounter comes to be. It's basically a theory by part of the writers, some stuff is cool, but this particular scene is... well; stupid.
