Synopsis via http://www.beowulfmovie.com :
"In a legendary time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf battles the demon Grendel and includes hellish wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother. Their epic clash forges the timeless legend of Beowulf.
Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a unique vision of the Beowulf saga in a way that it has never been told before. "Beowulf" stars RAY WINSTONE in the title role and ANTHONY HOPKINS as the corrupt King Hrothgar, as well as JOHN MALKOVICH, ROBIN WRIGHT PENN, BRENDAN GLEESON, CRISPIN GLOVER, ALISON LOHMAN, and ANGELINA JOLIE as Grendel's mother.
Neil Gaiman (the graphic novel "Mirrormask," "Sandman") & Roger Avary ("Pulp Fiction") have adapted the legen to the screen."
If I had only paid attention in English class back in high school, I might remember more of this poem.
Movie sounds and looks great, IMHO. Although some character shots look "CG", there are many that are amazing:
Ray Winstone
Anthony Hopkins
Angelina Jolie
Any thoughts?
