Beowulf - Movie - SPOILERS

So I went to go see this at the theater last night. I know it is based off of a very old mythological story, however, the movie has strayed enough from the original tale that I am a little lost.

Ok...

so Grendal is Jolie's son.
Grendal is what? A decaying human? A dragon that is in human form? WTF?

Jolie has unsuspecting men give her children - those children are dragons. The dragons can only be killed by the soft spot. For some reason, a dragon is also a human, or can be turned into a human?

Jolie's deals with the men make them immortal... Given how long she has lived, I assume she is also immortal. Does this mean that Grendal was immortal, and could not be killed unless one of his limbs was removed? Was he a dragon at some point?

I think there was a part in the movie that they tell the "tale" of the dragons, or something... and I may have been tuning out at this point, so perhaps I missed it, but can anyone reiterate?

Is this based on Michael Crichton's 'Eaters of the Dead' ?

Yeah, Crichton's book was based on an original manuscript as well. Just wondered if he was involved in the making of the film.

I read a translated Beowulf (then again, who can read old english?) Beowulf doesn't die. Grendel and his mother do.

Beowulf does die, both in the old versions, and the modern ones.

I dunno, I thought it was a pretty good movie.

The graphics were not perfect, but pretty good. The storyline was good for the most part, aside from some of the parts I wasn't entirely clear on.

Beowolf defeated Grendel and his mother. He later died with his fight with the fire dragon.
