      Much of the armor worn was of a design that was current many centuries after the poem was actually set.

    Did anyone read the poem?
    I had to read Beowulf several times in high school and college for English lit classes. I'm gong to find my old books and see how far off the movie was from the poem.

    Just to get through the movie (I taped it) I started doing something else. Rewinded a scene or two.

    The acting was so-so. I kept thinking, okay, Ben Cross has found steady work over the years, but steady, quality work?

    Like someone previously posted, the sets were the highlight. Don't know if the sets actually existed or were in a studio. Need to check that out.
