Since Angelina wasn't human, she got to look like herself. Heh.
HA! You know, I think there was a, for lack of a better term, "fleshier" look to the human women. There was a distinct difference between Grendel's mom and the other women. Then again, there's a distinct difference between Angelina and 99% of the women on the planet, so...
I've actually never read the whole poem. I read a VERY abbreviated version of it years and years ago, so my knowledge of the story was pretty sketchy. I agree that the way they tie the dragon fight in with the rest of the story made more sense, and especially with the "cycle" you mentioned. But I did find the movie lacking once the Grendel factor was out of the picture.
