This movie succeeds because it plays it over the top and straight at the same time. Its an old fashioned adventure movie thats only as good as it is supposed to be. The hero is tragically flawed but heroic. Definitely worth... Full review

THIS MOVIE IS OFFENSIVE!! I for one cannot believe such critically acclaimed actors agreed to partake in this travesty. The director botched the legend, did not follow the original story line, and left Beowulf a neutered old pedophile. People who don’t... Full review

I left this film feeling highly offended. How could you completely change such an amazing story? The character of Beowulf has gone down in history as being one of the greatest heros of all time! Plain and simple. In the original... Full review

You will understand me when I say this movie disappointed me. Though I won't say it was a bad movie, it was a great movie, and I enjoyed everything except what they did to the greatest tale in the British Literary... Full review

she said 10/10 , because that was her best movie too.....What a rousing movie!....I found myself more entranced with Robin Wright Penn's Wealthow who is undeservedly undervalued as an indispensable part of this film's magical weave.....what a pleasure it was to get engrossed in this brilliantly told tale of courage and adventure.....this movie actually does a better job evoking a bygone time than the literature on which it's based..... ...

This Blu-ray Disc release of Beowulf is so spectacularly rendered both visually and aurally Its animation, however, is that which seeks to be as close to realistic as possible. ... Full Review

It has a readily recognisable story, eye popping camera work that includes spectacular aerial sweeps, some humour (eg a naked Beowulf retains his modesty by fortunate [and funny] camera placement0, and lots of big scale action. That also explains the slightly plasticine-like humans, although that's unfair because in fact the characters do have lifelike characteristics, from hair and skin to moist eyes and lovely lips. ...

Boxoffice Magazine
A brutish, gruesome story, the film sacrifices its potential impact by playing it safe with the depiction of onscreen violence.....the film takes its greatest liberty, ultimately underlining its theme with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.....With these innovative approaches to the mythological saga on tap, this "Beowulf's" reality-driven approach suffers for lack of scope and questionable poetic license..... ...
