What the heck?


Other than having characters named Grendel and Beowulf, I don't think this bore any similarity to the poem at all. A giant crossbow (arbalest, I guess) with a scope? And don't get me started on the horned helmets...

For that matter "First Knight".

Aside from the names Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to any of the original material. And really bad costumes too.

But come on.. The horned helmets would be good if this were a comedy movie. Absolute trash.

I got as far as the Queen being called Onela. I bet that was because no one could pronounce Wealhtheow.
Then there's the fact that Onela is a guy's name (and, when you consider who Onela really is, it brings a whole new insight into Swedish-Geat relations!)

Aaaaargh!

Plus, he failed to kill grendel? Since when was there a need for a round two? And what happened to killing grendel with his bare hands?

"Look! Up in the sky...."
