Grendel Is A Tall, Bearded Gentleman

The trailer for Beowulf & Grendel, the upcoming movie based on the epic tale of Beowulf, has been released on the official site. I read this story in high school, but I remember Grendel being a much cooler opponent. Isn't he some kind of monster? If the trailer is any indication, Beowulf is basically fighting a wrestler, or a tall, cartoon hermit. Hopefully he'll fight a dinosaur or something too.

Which reminds me: remember that part in King Kong where he tears that dinosaur's jaw open? That was really something.
