Beowulf & Grendel : 2005 TIFF Update - http://www.reelfilm.com/tiff0509.htm#beowulf

Cinematical Review: Beowulf and Grendel - http://www.cinematical.com/2006/06/28/review-beowulf-and-grendel/
In the hands of Sturla Gunnarsson, Beowulf and Grendel is a masterful film that fleshes out the decidedly one-sided epic poem, bringing Grendel to life with a humanity and warmth that adds layers of meaning to the old tale. By Kim Voynar. |

Beowulf Meets Girl; Girl Meets Troll. Eeew. - http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/06/30/DDGIJJM75F1.DTL&type=movies
It's intended as a cautionary tale about needless military intervention, as well as a commentary on the danger of making sweeping moral assumptions in foreign policy -- especially when dealing with trolls. The problem is, when you blur the moral lines of the Beowulf saga, you're left with nothing but a bunch of drunks in animal skins, scratching themselves. By Mick LaSalle. |

Thought-provoking and poignant, the film was shot in Iceland with actors whose accents are, like the source material, often too dense to decipher. |

Filmthreat.com: Beowulf and Grendel - http://www.filmthreat.com/index.php?section=reviews&Id=9214
Beowulf and Grendel is never a cogent and interesting film even when avoiding such trappings of the genre minimizing the battle, but maximizing the sheer boredom that’s ever present on the cast. By Felix Vasquez Jr. |
