In a besieged land, Beowulf must battle against the hideous creature Grendel and his vengeance seeking mother.
This post-apocalyptic future story is based on the 8th century Saxon epic poem about the knight who battled a monster in a medieval castle. In this story, Beowulf is a wanderer who learns about a man-eating creature called Grendel which comes in the night to devour warriors trapped at the Outpost. The Outpost is ruled by Hrothgar. He has a daughter, whose husband may have been murdered by the Outpost's master of arms.
Good plot. Bad acting. Bad directing. Bad writing. The idea of adapting the eighth century epic anglo-saxon poem into a futuristic action movie was pretty cool and inventive. Some of the add-ons to the plot that were different from the poem were likewise very imaginative and interesting. I don't know if there were time restraints during the filming of the movie or if the director just got bored or if nobody really cared though. The movie is plagued with horrible, labored acting (with the exception of Christopher Lambert), lame fight scenes that try to feed off the popularity of Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies, and as usual with most films anymore, characters that nobody really can care about. So much more could have been done with this film that wouldn't have necessarily called for a bigger budget. Chalk this one up as yet another predictable action B movie that if they couldn't make it right, they probably shouldn't have made it at all. Cool soundtrack though.
Most who wrote completely missed the fact that there was a plot -- the problem was that it wasn't revealed until the movie was more than half over! Only after that point do you realize it makes sense (the great book it was based on was unfortunately murdered by the script). This movie was hilarious because it couldn't decide what it was and mixed modern with medieval and created a ridiculous product which was mostly swords and sorcery. All is going well until out of nowhere I see loudspeakers! Film wasn't so bad as some surprisingly decent acting (the hot Layla and her father) and the absolutely awful acting and throw ins (the Americans who happen to be black and speak like they are from New York thrown in to provide "comic relief" in merry old England who are out of place in every way) which provides you with a slasher film that is truly something to laugh at and somewhat gripping at the same time. The CGI is OK part of the time and, for a relatively higher budget low budget film, is hysterically bad at the very end. A CGI alien combined with the cutaways to see "blood on the sword" and close ups when it is obvious that the budget had to be cut at the end and couldn't spend more cash on the CGI! I've seen A LOT worse, and this one is not nearly as bad, e.g. the few minutes I saw some cheesy Godzilla films or those super low budget D&D type adventures with mind numbingly bad scripts, acting and special effects. If you are expecting a little mind numbing fun and yet another poor man's highlander, then go for it.

The mysterious mercenary Beowulf (Christopher Lambert) enters a fortress and offers its ruler Hrothgar () learns that his wound has healed quickly. After Beowulf decapitates Grendel's arm and Beowulf and Kyra fall in love, Beowulf reveals to Kyra who he is. Grendel's mother (Layla Roberts) enters the fortress and seeks to avenge Grendel, by killing everyone in the fortress, and Beowulf engages Grendel's mother in mortal combat. Beowulf is based on an Old English epic poem, author unknown and dated as having been written somewhere around 1000 AD, possibly earlier. The poem was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Mark Leahy and David Chappe. There have since been three more adaptations of the epic poem: Beowulf & Grendel (2005) (2005), Beowulf: Prince of the Geats (2007) (2007), and the animated Beowulf (2007) (2007). The explanation that Beowulf gives in the movie is that he could sense "the Darkness" and so he came alone to kill Grendel because he "had to." In the poem, however, Beowulf came by ship with about a dozen of his clansmen from the land of the Geats (southern Sweden) because they had heard about Grendel's doings and they wished to help. A definitive answer is not given in the movie (nor in the poem). A good guess is that Grendel was able to shape change, e.g., into the mist that can occasionally be seen floating in the background. Another possibility is that Grendel was able to turn himself invisible, taking form only when killing. Granted, all the doors were locked from the inside, so there are only two explanations: (1) he was already in there, or (2) he entered through the same vent that Beowulf used to get inside. No. Neither did they have wrist watches, plastic body bags, airlocks on the castle doors, rooftop loudspeakers, nor lighters to light torches, as some viewers have reported seeing. A movie's use of modern technologies in medieval settings has been termed steampunk and has led some viewers to conclude that this version of Beowulf was set in the post-apocalyptic future or some alternative world. Cutting off Grendel's arm and displaying it on the roof has resulted in easing everyone's fears. Hrothgar opens the wine cellar, the villagers abandon their watch around the outpost periphery, and Beowulf prepares to depart, thinking that his work is done. Although everyone thinks that Grendel has lumbered off to die, they are wrong. He has returned to the cave where he lives with his mother (Layla Roberts), who is now eager to avenge her son. She sneaks into the castle and seduces Roland (Götz Otto) while, at the same time, Kyra (Rhona Mitra) attempts to seduce Beowulf into staying with her. Suddenly, Beowulf senses the presence of Evil in the outpost. As Beowulf goes in search of it, Kyra warns Hrothgar, and they head for the dining hall to warn the others, only to find everyone already slain, including Roland. Grendel's mother appears before them, explaining to Hrothgar that she is the succubus who has been sharing his bed and that Grendel is Hrothgar's son. She further explains that the outpost was hers long before Hrothgar and his people moved in and that Grendel has merely been trying to claim what, by rights, belongs to him. When Hrothgar goes for her, Grendel shows up and pulls him off, crushing him to death in his strong grip. As Kyra lays on the floor in a daze, having been batted across the room by Grendel, Beowulf drops from the ceiling and plunges his sword through Grendel's chest. His mother attempts to seduce Beowulf, but he resists, so she transforms into the monster that she really is and tries to kill Beowulf. Just when it looks like she's got Beowulf by the throat, he uses his sword to slam open a gas jet in the wall. The firey gas bursts forth and sets mom on fire. As the whole outpost goes up in flames, Beowulf and Kyra, the only survivors, escape on horseback. In the final scene, Kyra convinces Beowulf to take her with him. Beowulf has long ago passed into public domain and can be found in several places on the Internet. While the movie takes a few things from the poem (e.g., the characters Beowulf and Hrothgar, the monster Grendel and his mother, the story of Grendel ravishing the people of the "outpost", the display of Grendel's arm from the rooftop, and the mother of Grendel returning for revenge), mostly everything else was embellishment. There were no angry villagers trying to slice an innocent girl in half, there was no daughter of Hrothgar hot for Beowulf, Beowulf's father was not Baal, Grendel's father was the biblical Cain, Grendel's mother was a mere hag, Hrothgar's wife was alive and well, and Beowulf stayed at Hall Heorot to rule after Hrothgar's death. The advice of those who have both seen the movie and read the poem is to view the movie as a fun flick that uses some of the original story as a guideline. She's a succubus, a female demon who comes to men during their sleep. Succubi are said to make love to a sleeping man in order to take their semen and then use it to create new demons. It's generally accepted by most modern scholars that succubi were historically accepted as an explanation for male nocturnal emissions. In the movie, the succubus turns out to be Grendel's mother. Everytime Hrothgar would stand against Grendel and challenge him to a fight, Grendel would reply, "Not you." It's not until the end of the movie where it is revealed that Hrothgar is Grendel's father. This development is not part of the poem.
