I like at the beginning that silence between each others in the ship

Not to mention that all scenes are played by real human actors in realistic armour and weapons! No dull computer monsters and no stupid acrobatics as is found else in the mythological movies, especially the American ones; only the lack of poetic speech is a true grain of salt as they should have strived harder to let the dialogue sound like the original poetry and I totally love the end, when the Vikings conclude that the story of Cain & Abel is utter nonsense.

This was an amazing film. Too bad no one really noticed it when it came out.

I love it how in the first scene the arms comes out of the water, grabs his arms, and they all go on like nothing happened, just barely surprised. Danes were tough people :)

did you know that Beowulf is Leonidas

Is grendel troll in this movie? Cause I remember in the original folk tale he was a giant troll. It seems some who translate it translate him as just a monster which is a bit incorrect. It is sad they changed the trolls so much into a kiddie thing instead of what it used to be in old nordic culture.

christ... did Sarah Polly even try?

She doesn't even try to put on an accent... I know english accent shouldn't equal all old european languages.... but keep it consistent, sarah polly....

@FANADICALCOWHEAD: You mean the scene when the Danes kill the father of young Grendel?

My favorite part of the movie is when the Caveman tries to steal the leprechaun and then the horse people shoot him off of a cliff. But then the caveman comes back for revenge!

Well, we never were - we just pretended ;-)

worst film ever made, but so funny to take the piss out of

If the Christian missionaries were so ridiculous they would have converted the Danes.
