I personally thought Beowulf was rubbish. They took every possible opportunity to say the name "Beowulf" and every opportunity to show limp bodies being flung through the air. I like the story behind it, but I think there's difficulty in translating a poem from a story-telling society of the past into a modern film context.

a big part of Beowulf was in the poetic aspect of it- symbolism, form, meter that sort of thing that wouldn't really translate onto the screen. and without that sorta stuff- the story itself is really kinda short so they'd need a lot of filler.

and the using the name of Beowulf sounds like they're trying to recreate the "THIS IS SPARTA" phenomenon.

I saw a preview of Beowulf and thought, "How. Hypermasculinity and CGI don't mix."
But even though 300 is by the same definition I liked it better.

Honestly, Beowulf is the WORST movie I've seen.
It's OKAY in IMAX 3D.
300 is a lot better imo
