Somebody should make a movie of it. The story is simple, short and bloody, and would make a great movie.

That said, you can see that it was Tolkien’s inspiration for many things in the LOTR.

It will be interesting to see his translation.

There have been several movies of Beowulf. Most suck because they try to better the text.
