The thrilling beauty of this reading of Beowulf is that it makes [the characters] feel modern... These people live in the real world, not in a fable and not in a history book.

Gunnarsson has made a film that would make the real Beowulf and Grendel, if they ever really existed, quite proud.

A semi-mythic period piece, Beowulf & Grendel offers sublime scenery that's breathtaking and bone-chilling.

If you're game for a strange and beautiful-looking new version of the (very) old legend, you can safely give this one a rental.

[You can] feel the filmmakers yearning to have Beowulf and Grendel go all Rambo on each other. Instead, they keep pulling back for more Old English angst, as if they're torn between commerce and winning the approval of their high school English teacher.

This gristle-intensive R-rated version of Beowulf travels a predictable revisionist route.

ridiculous

Beowulf's reality-driven approach suffers for lack of scope and questionable poetic license.

Trying to give us the true story behind the epic, the movie only reminds us of why humans write epics in the first place.

A fascinating trip to the dark ages and a good story well told
