Beowulf is a good fighter, a fact that is demonstrated convincingly at the beginning of the film when he takes out a couple of dozen bad guys by using his crossbow pistols, throwing-hatchets and knives, a mace, and various other gadgets.
The Grendel in this movie does not die in the same way as the Grendel in the original story.
The main difference between the Grendel in the movie, and the one in our story, is that the Grendel in the movie doesn't eat people (although he is pretty ferocious nonetheless).
