I watched Beowulf last night.
Did not like it. At first the music and design and setting seemed really good, then Grendel showed up and was utterly grotesque. Then I found out Beowulf had been written as a womanizing prideful dick, and instead of killing Grendel's mother he slept with her and lied about it.
To me, Beowulf is about the closing tale of the old legends, about the man who sees off with his sword the last of the old magic. A sort of farewell to myth.
It's not about fucking a snake-lady and fighting your own son which is a dragon or some bullshit.
Ugh.
