Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A muscular, ardently naturalistic retelling of the ninth-century Anglo-Saxon saga.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,
Entertainment Weekly,
12 Jul 2006
rotten:
This gristle-intensive R-rated version of Beowulf travels a predictable revisionist route.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
13 Jul 2006
fresh:
A semi-mythic period piece, Beowulf & Grendel offers sublime scenery that's breathtaking and bone-chilling.
– Bill Stamets,
Chicago Sun-Times,
14 Jul 2006
rotten:
[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.
– Chuck Wilson,
L.A. Weekly,
27 Jul 2006
rotten:
Trying to give us the true story behind the epic, the movie only reminds us of why humans write epics in the first place.
