Well--This is the way to take a legend and make it really bad. Beowulf (2007) was an extended video game obstesibly based on the ancient Norse legend.
It was done in the style of live action actors being then animated into fantasy sequences, so you have Anthony Hopkins just looking silly in a flimsy toga, and Angelina Jolie doing a near-nude scene (as a water demon) that I really don't think she would do anymore. And John Malkovich looking like he was constipated the whole time. And since it is "animated" I guess it is OK.
But I digress...the plot is bad, the acting is bad, and the closeness to the legend is pretty scanty...I mean, it gets the big things right of course, but the details, well, Hollywood, as always, just decides to re-do things as it goes, as usual. Even the animation goes awry and does not look to good at points.
Skip it...a waste of time. Bad movie. Not good.
