Beowulf

Was it really necessary to overlay this flick with CGI? I figured out roughly twenty minutes into this one that if I took my glasses off, I couldn't tell it was meant to look like an entirely too long video game cut-scene.

So anyway, Beowulf kills Grundel, falls for the mom, bangs her, becomes king, then has to kill his demon spawn (this time around a dragon). He manages to do this by ripping out the dragon's heart, mid-flight, but not before he somehow cuts off his own left arm so he can better reach into the dragon's fire-hole. I vaguely remember reading this thing in high school and the story coming across nowhere near as retarded as its portayed in this movie. 100% entertaining, though.
Go figure.
