The whole "I AM BEOWULF!" in the tv ads for it put me off it for some reason. :|

I thought the movie was interesting on it's own terms, but I agree, the changes that were made were unnecessary. The story itself is much more pessimistic, and this version makes it a heroic triumph over Beowulf's character flaws. What bothered me most about the movie was that Beowulf's struggle was internal, whereas the his struggle in the story is almost entirely external. He wasn't worried about his feelings, he just killed monsters to protect his people. Plus, he is supposed to get help in the battle against the dragon.

I don't think true is the right word here.
