Beowulf

[pontifex]

did anyone see this movie? from 1999 (for some reason I thought it was a newer movie)

Stars Christopher Lambert as Beowulf

Kinda cool but kinda cheesy too. Some of the special effects are really cheap. Fvcking dvd has a huge 2 inch scratch in it and it stopped working with 15 minutes left of the movie.

I saw the 13th warrior. Pretty sure we read the book in 12th grade english.

They are in the process of making a Beowulf film, but it sounds like its going to suck based on the last few things I remember hearing about it.

Sounds like a subwoofer made by Bang & Olufsen. :laugh:

(Yes I know what it really is)

this movie takes place in the future, although its still pretty much medieval style - but thats even confusing. they use swords and axes and stuff but they have other technology, like scopes with electronic reticles, and some of the weapons appear to be like chainsaws...its hard to describe...

I downloaded a beowulf movie but its from some northern european country. Basically it showed Grendal as a neanderthal whos dad had been hunted down by humans and he came back for revenge. It was actually pretty savage.

I read a shortened version of Beowulf and saw some crappy movie, maybe it was the same one you are referring to.

Yeah. It didn't remind me of the story at all.

I watched the movie because I was a fan of Christopher Lambert but it was awful. The book was super-amazing.

I worked on a beowulf cluster during undergrad.

The Beowulf is cool, but I think I'd take a SOCOM instead.
