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

Spectacular, i saw it in theaters. A daring re-telling of the classic poem. Just a little slow at the
beginning, but it gets much better. Ground breaking and a million times better than the polar express.

I knew part of this was computer generated, but I didn't realize the entire movie was. I figured the special effects & monster would be...but all of the actors and everything was like a fancy cartoon. I kept thinking it was like a grown-up Shrek movie. I didn't really like it and prefer the older Beowulf movies to this one, hands down. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone other than a teenage boy.
