The "Beowulf" movie was one of the more recent attempts to bring the classic story of "Beowulf" to the big screen. The 2007 "Beowulf" movie featured Ray Winstone in the title role with Crispin Glover as Grendel and Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother. Anthony Hopkins played King Hrothgar. The movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis in a digital rotoscope animation style that has become a signature for the director.
Inspired by the epic Old English poem of the same name, director Robert Zemeckis's digitally rendered film follows the Scandinavian hero Beowulf (Ray Winstone) as he fights to protect the Danes from a ferocious beast named Grendel (Crispin Glover). Though at first Grendel seems invincible, Beowulf eventually manages to defeat him in a desperate battle to the death.

Ray Winstone as Beowulf and Angelina Jolie as Grendel's Mother When I saw this ad on a billboard for the movie 'Beowulf', (directed by Robert Zemeckis 2007) I just had to see it. This film was created with digital animation and the whole thing has the look of a video game. I enjoyed it; no great work of art but it's kind of fun. Ray Winstone must have found it very flattering to have his short, stocky physique transformed into a buff nordic god. However, the Beowulf story is evidence that... Read Full Story

Beowulf is an epic written in the earthy times, sometime between the 8th and 11th century. It's one of the finest and most precious pieces of Poetry in Old English, and I, will be studying it sometime later this year in my studies. And as a side note: I have heard the Movie Beowulf completely twists the story around, so I would not recommend it. The poem is about the Geaton King Hygelac's Nephew, Beowulf, and how he and 14 companions sail to aid the Danish King Hrothgar. The Danish King's... Read Full Story

Well one, it is a movie about one of the best mythological stories ever and two, Angelina Jolie is there. Yep, I'm Angelina Jolie's fan and I can't wait to see her computerized nude scene.
