An Epic Adventure

Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake

In ANNIE HALL, Woody Allen advises Diane Keaton not to take any college courses where she has to read BEOWULF.

I know whereof he speaks, because I had to read it in one of my English classes and it was boring.

That's certainly not the case with this digitally enhanced live-action movie that takes the legendary tale set in ancient Denmark and makes it one of the most exciting, visually stunning films in recent memory. Not only does director Robert Zemeckis' deliver an epic tale of the world's original hero, but he also gives us the most believable multi-dimensional characters yet seen in a movie that utilizes these computer augmented techniques.

Burly character actor Ray Winstone, who looks nothing like his on-screen image in this film, plays Beowulf, the heroic Thane who slays the monster, Grendel, then makes an unholy pact with his demon mother (Angelina Jolie).

Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn and John Malkovich also play key roles in the strong cast.

Great action with a mid-evil theme!

This movie ranks with the movie 300! Great CGI, with a feel of 3-D at times. A must for your movie files. A second or third watch brings out all of the "little things" you'll miss at first.

I am beowolf!!!

This movie has to be my all time favorite movie. I love animation. Until i saw this movie I thought the japanese were the leaders of animation. boy was I wrong. I also thought from commercials I had seen that this was live action. I mean, thats how good the cgi was. The story is phenomenal and according to myth possibly true to some extent. The way he always screams his own name as he is kicking some a** is awesome too. watch it on hd dvd though. extra scenes and such. My only complaint, Not in 3D like I saw at the movies. Now THAT would be great!

MST3K Fans Rejoice -- Rifftrax is Here!

For years we at RiffTrax have lived under the mistaken belief that we are Beowulf. So we were shocked when a cartoon version of Ray Winstone squeezed into a tiny pair of leather battle panties (LBPs) and set us straight in no uncertain terms. And he's right - HE. IS. BEOWULF!! Though it took some getting used to the idea that we are not Beowulf, in all honesty it's been a whole lot more pleasant to come into the office and see pants where one once saw nothing but a sea of LBPs.

But if you haven't yet exceeded your limit, may we suggest you download our hilarious new RiffTrax for Beowulf in which a fully-clothed Mike, Kevin and Bill take on our less-than-clothed hero, his extremely unclothed lizardy paramour (played with big-boobs gusto by Digilina Jolie), and a disappointingly unclothed Anthony Hopkins.

IT! IS! FUNNY!!!

good CGI

This movie had a great voice cast amazing CGI and enough action to keep you locked on the screen.

What i would have liked to see more of would be the capture of the time frame. I mean they hinted at it with the burping and the tattered robes falling off the kings shoulder and such. As well as the use of fire for light. However being set back in Denmark AD 507 AND being a directors cut there could have been more brutality, violence, maybe nudity BUT should have been done much much more grittier. People were more savage back then from what i gather
