Very Dumb film

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2008)

Based on the 9th century poem that J. R. Tolkien heralded as great work of Art Beowulf was chosen by Zemeckis and his producers as a worthy venture in novelty digital 3D cinema production. Hrothgar an aging old obese Viking type warrior played by Anthony Hopkins and oppressed his wife, the young blonde busty ice queen who appears resigned to this duty of oppression and readily appears to subjugate her soul to him, reign over a rowdy primitive bunch of trashy Viking warriors in their newly built communal Mead "beer" hall. Hrothgar half naked scene and his mates go berko on one of their feasts and the noise provokes the deformed Grendal, son of strange female creature played by Angela Jolie. Grendal gatecrashes the Horthgar's beer fest and brutally and violently mutilates and tears the Viking partygoers to pieces. The animated form of Jolie shows likeness to Jolie except for the body which is far too voluptuous and well proportional than the real Jolie.
Later, Beowulf (Ray Winstone) answers the call to slay Grendal. When Grendal next attacks the Mead hall Beouwulf strips naked to kill Grendal and mortally wounds him. Grendal's mother goes to Meadhall to avenge her son's death and kills nearly all Beouwulfs men and from their seduces Beouwulf. We learn that Grendal was actually Hrothgar's son and when Beouwulf goes to cave to meet Grendals mothers he is seduced resulting in offspring a dragon monster.
Beowulf returns to the Mead hall and becomes the new leader of the vikings after Hrothgar suicides realizes his queen wants Beowulf. The dragon returns and Beowulf goes into battle with it. A very entertaining animated 3D film although this style of cinema is more suited to those who play computer games but worth seeing.
