Beowulf V. 13th Warrior :: compare contrast poem movie film

After reading the epic poem Beowulf and observance the movie The 13th Warrior, I find that the differences greatly outnumber the similarities. However, the physical composition of good versus evil reflects the values of the Anglo-Saxon people in both the poem and the movie. Numerous differences exist in the poem and the movie including the characters, the crashing(a) battles, and the deaths of the heroes. Many differences occur in the poem and movie.
