Critics consensus

“Despite the impressive Icelandic scenery, Beowulf And Grendel fails to find its footing in the transition from epic tale to the big screen.”

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

RTChicago Sun-TimesJul 14, 2006

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

RTChicago TribuneJul 13, 2006

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

...a knowing, underrated, revisionist take on a legend that comes up fresh, funny and far better than it’s reputation suggests...
