Storyline
Set against the coming of Christianity, this is the story of the last hero: in 507, a monstrous troll wreaks havoc in the mead hall of Danish King Hrothgar (Sir Anthony Hopkins). He offers rewards for the death of Grendel (Crispin Glover), so Beowulf (Ray Winstone), a great and boastful Geat warrior, arrives with his thanes. Beowulf sets aside his armor and awaits the monster. A fierce battle ensues that leads to Beowolf's entering the watery lair of Grendel's Mother (Angelina Jolie), where a devil's bargain awaits. Beowulf returns to Herot, the castle, and becomes King. Jump ahead many years, and the sins of the father are visited upon Beowulf and his kingdom. The hero must face his weakness and be heroic once again. Is the age of demons over? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

Are you kidding me? Sloppy, CRAP.
Roger Ebert did a great job at distracting readers from actually telling audiences anything useful in what he calls a review. Surely he jests, when he implies that the filmmakers meant this film to be funny. The review from him should be retitled "distracting comments," just as Beowulf should be retitled, as anything else, and have it's rating pushed up to R. This film isn't worth the download space, or the box office dollar you'll have to put out to be annoyed, insulted, and confused. Keep your family away and your friends. This wheelbarrow of crap that the studio rolled out is shameful. It should be listed as exploitation animation. How dare they ask for academy recognition for an Oscar. Ugh....
