Every now and then a movie comes along and you wonder Why did they bother'? This film is so absurd and so god-awful that I would recommend everyone to stay away from it. Whatever you do, an hour and half can be spent better than watching this movie. It uses the barest of outlines from the Old English epic of the monster and dragon slayer Beowulf, moves it into a kind of never-never future and what you end up with is no story at all, guys wearing vaguely medieval harnesses, fighting with swords, yet smoking fags between rounds and advanced enough to live in a mechanical castle with gaslight and elevators. A few skimpily dressed females who cannot act are showing more than you want to see, and special effects that are so bad a rubbery Godzilla would be more entertaining. Did I mention a sprinkling of gratuitous violence? Brrr.
