Beowulf?

Recently, the movie version of Beowulf has been released in theatres. Due to the fact that I remembered reading and actually liked the story version of Beowulf, I had to go see it. The special effects and graphic in the movie were amazing, but the movie itself was not that good. This is largely because the movie was really different from the story. In the movie Beowulf kills Grendel and then has an affair and a child with Grendels mother, but in the story Beowuld brawls with and kills Grendels mother. In addition, the story says that Beowulf failed to kill the dragon but Hrothgar did not, eanwhile the movie shows Beowulf killing the dragon himself. The special effects were not enough to keep this movie as good as it could have been if they stuck to the original story rather than changing it drastically.
