Beowulf & Grendel

Point I Fell Asleep: 0:25 out of 1:44 (24%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Afternoon
IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0402057/

Because I needed to take a nap, I decided to watch this movie. Only as I'm typing this, I found out that I watched the wrong movie!!! Apparenlty there are 2 Beowulf movies. One was made in 2005 which was named 'Beowulf & Grendel' and another one named 'Beowulf' that was made in 2007, which I guess was the bigger movie. What studio head greenlighted the 2007 version? Good gawd!

Anyway, of course I quickly passed out. Not only that, when I did eventually wake up, I just wanted to go back to sleep because this movie was so bad. It was a poor man's "Braveheart," "Gladiator," etc. Actually, I wouldn't even give it that much credit. The movie is the type of movie you'd see on TNT or USA on a Friday night. The only positive thing about the movie was that the actor playing Beowulf was the same guy in 300. It took me a while to figure it out due to his lack of a full beard, but even he couldn't save this terrible excuse of a movie! Stay tuned for my 2nd nap when I watch the 2007 version.
