When warrior Beowulf (Christopher Lambert) learns that the inhabitants of the Outpost are being killed by a monstrous creature named Grendel, he offers to help the king, Hrothgar (Oliver Cotton), fight off the beast. The beleaguered fighters are grateful for his help, but a warrior named Roland (Gotz Otto) grows jealous of Beowulf when he sees him with the king's daughter (Rhona Mitra). As Beowulf learns more about Grendel, he realizes how much danger they all are in.

A handful of plot points recognizably follow the source material, almost making a game of picking out the morsels of faithfulness.

Its ambition is considerably larger than its budget, resulting in a film that looks absolutely dreadful - and to be honest, its ambition is not particularly lofty.

[Beowful is] a bizarre hybrid, as strange (if not quite as ghastly) as the half-human, half-demon Grendel that haunts the first act.

Forget a story, forget a script, forget logic. Just enjoy this braindead "so bad it is good" spectacle!

What to do when want to adapt a 6th Century epic poem? Why you of course set it in a post-apocalyptic future and cast Christopher Lambert! Low budget, bad special effects, dull story, but I do like Lambert and and I did like the hybrid medieval/post-apocalyptic setting, so that was enough to make this film watchable (barely), at lest for me.
