Beowulf was certainly purer of heart in the original text, since he slew Grendel's mother and wasn't actually responsible for the dragon.
I had an illustrated, kid version of Beowulf as a child. I remember sitting on my bed in Pittsburgh, surrounded by dinosaur models, and opening it to see a picture of a gigantic monster roaring inside a room set on fire. Grendel may have been the first monster I ever laid eyes on.
They definitely increased the drama quotient, and animation wise, took the first fumbling steps into a larger world of simulated performances.
There are still issues....every human character had gigantic sausage fingers, and there was a smooth blandness to their faces that made Grendel's craggy, lumpy face so welcome.
Supposedly Glover spoke Old English in the film, but it sounded more like a language he made up one day while hanging out in Crazytown.
This is a guy who attacked David Letterman with karate kicks on air and who gave out his home phone number inside copies of one of his albums, so fans could call him and tell him what they thought. That boy ain't right.
hahahah i think crispin glover is amazingly hot, but i can never ever think of him without replaying the video of him trying to karatekick david letterman! that was supposed to be olde english then that grendel spoke? i knew most of it SOUNDED english sometimes.. but overall i had no clue what the hell he was saying half the time.

He was wearing a wig and platform shoes, doing karate kicks and screaming:
"I am strong...I can kick!!"
I've always loved the guy. He's doing two slasher flicks now...SIMON SAYS, in which he plays the demented son of a redneck accidentally killed by teens, and I SCREAM MAN, about a serial killer terrorizing a small California town.
That second one was based on a short story by Robert R. McCammon, legendary horror author. I recently picked up the collection that contains that story and am reading it.
There's just something about the Crispy Glove.
His living room coffee table is a modified birthing apparatus from the 18th century, complete with stirrups where pregnant women's legs went.
Most of his furniture/curios are medically related in nature.
How does he get LAID? His bed is probably an iron maiden or something.

He seems like the kind of person you might find
masturbating in the Mutter Museum of Oddities.
