Beowulf Review

As always, the movie and the book version of a storyline is always changed around, in a sense the book gives a more vivid, imagination.  While the play, or book had more of a vividi imagination, the movie didn't have as much action as the book did.  the way the play was written felt much longer, even though the movie really did feel like a movie length, its just that they went too in depth in scenes, rather than trying to go through all the scenes like the book had.  in the end, Beowulf did end up killing Grendel and his mother, but the movie ended at that.  in the play/book, there was a third battle with a dragon, but that was the end of the legendary Beowulf, which he is mortally wounded after the battle with a dragon.  in the movie, it ends at the part where Grendel's mother has been slain, and Beowulf is now done with his journey.  In the end, because of the wide varieties of scenes in books are too much for a movie, they pick the storyline most likely wanted to be seen by the audience, or where the story would fit best as in a specific time frame, in this case a movie.
