Title: Beowulf
Review: This movie, based on Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton, is an interesting adaptation of the story of Beowulf. For English lit buffs who enjoy the classical tale of a fearless warrior who battles demon spawn, this movie is an interesting experiment. While it is not true to all aspects of the tale of Beowulf, the way some of the elements of the story are adapted for a more "scientific" explanation of things is intruiging. For those who have read Cricton's book, this movie is pretty true to the book. I am rarely as impressed with a movie as I am with its literary counterpart, but this is a movie that is as good as its book. For viewers who don't care about Beowulf or Eaters of the Dead, this is a very cool movie anyway. There is plenty of suspense, blood, and fighting. It is a good adventure movie.
