Just wondering if anybody had been to see this film? One of the reasons I went to watch it was because Tolkien was quite a fan of the ancient poem. Also, the name Meduseld comes from Beowulf (it was the name of his hall).

I liked the story somewhat - they seemed to take far too long to do some irrelevent things, like zooming from the village to a cave. The graphics were done really well though, I have to say, and the voice acting was great.

I'd like to read the Beowulf literature so I can compare it to the film.

Hmmm I've heard about Beowulf's influence on Tolkien's works, but I have never read that.

I think I wanna see this film. Is it brand new?

I just checked the Pirate Bay for beowulf. It looks like they just have some crappy screeners there still.. Oh well. I'll wait for a better release of it.
