A Real Hero story that delivers.

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2013)

Right. It's CGI. That doesn't mean it's for kids. Nope. This has gore and action but not in a nonsensical sort of way. You have a mere man, who believes in himself to the core that he can do anything, defeat anything. And so he does. Revered by all as a Hero, Beowulf is the sort of movie that inspires one to cast aside all fear and doubt and just go for it!
Stunning visuals, amazing script, and impeccable dialogue combine to bring to life an old poem about Good vs Evil, but with evil usually being of man's own doing. Ray Winstone (its sad that he isn't as optimised in other movies) was such a treat in the voice and character of Beowulf. Throw in Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich and you've got quite a winning cast ensemble.
"The Gods won't do for us, what we won't do for ourselves. What we need, is a Hero!"
