2007 IMDb

I'll say it -- this film was pure suck. The filmmakers have turned Beowulf
into a conflicted, apologetic, non-killer who humps around in a bleak
wilderness and does jack-all in a mead (I mean, BEER) hall for the majority
of the film.

(It's the version where Grendel rapes Selma, and Beowulf calls him
"crab-slime." Not in OED.)
