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?

| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineA dazzling, immersive and unique visual experience. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestZemeckis, you magnificent bastard! This is one of the best times I've ever had at the movies. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressRobert Zemeckis doesn't just give English classes new interpretations to discuss but advances the technological limitations of animation to a level that makes high-definition look like a Falkirk Transmitter. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversZemeckis springs so many pow 3-D surprises you'll think Beowulf is your own private fun house. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergStands as an unapologetically enthusiastic marriage between old-school heroism and modern-day wizardry. Plus it kicks ass! |

| Christianity TodayBrandon FibbsBy utilizing the most modern technology, Zemeckis has breathed new life into an ancient tale. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian OrndorfDon't let Paramount's atrocious marketing fool you, Beowulf is a film of great surprise and heart-stopping visual gusto. It also reaffirms Robert Zemeckis's place as a brilliant cinematic architect, still capable of eliciting eye-watering awe. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyWith their dead, unblinking eyes the characters look stoned; more heroine addicts than heroic archetypes. |
| CNN.comTom CharityAn excellent showcase for the advantages of computer-generated animation. |
