In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous yet seductive mother, in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend.

Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the Beowulf saga that has never been told before. Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Shangri-la Entertainment present "Beowulf," starring Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother, Anthony Hopkins as the corrupt King Hrothgar, and Ray Winstone as Beowulf. The film also stars John Malkovich, Brendan Gleeson, Dominic Keating, Alison Lohman, Robin Wright Penn and Ray Winstone.

Neil Gaiman ("MirrorMask," the graphic novel Sandman) and Roger Avary ("Pulp Fiction") adapted the legend for the screen.

watched Beowulf recently, i appreciate the fact that it gives me at least a pseudo-education in ancient literature (i was never forced to read Beowulf as a kid) www.kogmedia.com

I went to see Beowulf last week and the CGI was brilliant I especially liked the way the characters were manipulated to mirror the stars who voiced them; well apart from Ray Winston that is. Beowulf wouldn't have been the same if they sculptured the character on his image;bless him. Nice to see muscularity put to its use; even if it is only CGI.The music score accompanied the visuals brilliantly too.
