DVD Synopsis

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. Devastated by her son's violent demise at the hands of Beowulf, Grendel's mother (Angelina Jolie) sets out in search of revenge. Later, Beowulf faces the biggest challenge of his life when he attempts to slay a powerful dragon. Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, Alison Lohman, John Malkovich, and Brendan Gleeson co-star in an epic fantasy adventure penned by Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I really enjoyed this movie, even through i didn't think that I would. The story is interesting and how the movie is made is even more interesting.

The subject matter was good, I just don't enjoy computer generated as much as some folks.

The computer made film had no flow. They could have used claymation and had a better result. Overhyped. They should have just paid the actors the full amount and filmed them. The monsters could have been added. Glad I didn't waste a credit on it.

I was kind of disappointed in this. The characters moved too much like puppets or video game characters. The visual look was great but the movements no so great. It has some bonus features that were interesting to watch.

I think It is a good movie sad ending but good. It is Computer Generated which I was not expecting but still a good movie. I did not see anything to make it above PG13 but I would watch it first before showing to your kids just in case.
