I watched a couple movie versions of Beowulf a few years back for a lit class. All I really got out of it is that, for the most part, classic literature doesn't do much for me.
This is an avant-garde version containing a lot of modern anachronisms, such as electrical and natural gas appliances during medieval times. Some of the warriors possess strange weapons which would be more apt for space invader films. The only reason that I have it in my collection is because it stars Christopher Lambert and Rhona Mitra.
