Avoid. Worse than horrible


As a complete fantasy addict who is normally forgiving, who has told a modern telling of Beowulf to appreciative audiences I respectfully say avoid this horrible program. This thing is utterly bad, a mixed up travesty that abuses and soils the name of the original and one of the greatest epic works in the English literature (up there with Chaucer and Shakespeare). It is not even a bad adaption but an exceedingly poorly written and terribly acted thing that merely pinches some of the names from Beowulf to tell a completely different story. It looks like a very bad copycat of the 1970's Conan films, minus the warrior muscles.
