Michael Center, Olivia Tenney, Briana Whitney, Megan Gaschen, Amanda Beck

Historically accurate Allows you to visualize ancient Europe Characters represented well Beowulf shown as excellent swordsman Grendel was man-like Grendel is very smart and clever

New Characters Did not follow tradition storyline Grendel had child Unnecessary love story In modern movies, sexual tension is always added Hrothgar portrayed poorly Un-engaging beginning to movie Grendel’s death not celebrated

Exemplifies Beowulf as perfect Hero and warrior Hrothgar is a great King Rewarded treasure for help Very descriptive of characters, scenes, and battles

Very straightforward and predictable Skips 50 years Beowulf seems too super human Difficult to read in original language

None Follow traditional storyline…. Beowulf and Grendel’s Mother? Placed in the future?
