Title: Disappointing
Review: Beowulf is a classic tale that deserves better than this. I hated the video-game style imagery. The poem is beautiful to hear, and to adapt it visually it deserves a beautiful visual style, more lushly beautiful, more fantastic, more starkly ugly, grittier and more brutally realistic, whatever. I found the style bland. The sound design could have gotten it a second star, if I could use it as an audio-play, that would be ok too, but no luck there, the sound design is similarly bland and artless. Now that this much money has been spent on this boring piece of drek it will be at least a decade before another production company takes a crack at this wonderful treasure of literature. What a waste.
