    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Ray Winstone (Beowulf), he and his fellow cast spent several days filming in blue skintight suit, "showing up all your lumps and bumps in all the wrong places. Which can be hard when you're standing in front of Angelina Jolie (Grendel's Mother), who looks stunning in hers."
    • Goofs
      The movie depicts Christianity displacing the Old Norse religion from Denmark over the 6th century AD. In reality, Denmark did not become Christian until the 9th century.

      The seeds were sown long before that. It wasn't like flipping a switch.

      Beowulf: I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!

    Decent movie

    It takes a while for your eyes to get used to the uncanny animation, but once you overcome the ordeal, Beowulf turns into an outrageously entertaining ride. The performances are solid, the visuals are unique, the score is uplifting, and it has great action sequences. It's really good fun for adults of all ages.
