Beowulf Movie

Just recently we finished the Beowulf movie that was created in 2007. Of course we read the book first and I will have to say that the movie is one of the biggest let down when it comes to making a movie from the book. The movie was sooo different from the poem that it shouldn't have even been called Beowulf. I wish that during the movie I could have set outside the room and done something productive with my life instead of wasting my time watching a movie that I wouldn't have liked even if we watched the movie first. I don't understand why anyone would want to buy or even watch this pathetic excuse for a movie. Also the chosen actor for Grendel's mother is about the worst choice for an actor ever. In my opinion Angeline Jolie is a horrible actor and is not pretty at all. If the director had actually read the story of Beowulf, maybe he would have made a good movie.
