Beowulf

When the confident, well-toned Viking warrior Beowulf (Ray Winstone) and fourteen of his sword-wielding men arrive in Denmark in 507 A.D. to help the cursed king (Anthony Hopkins) and his wise queen (Robin Wright Penn) slay the raging, pain-filled, monstrous, flesh-eating creature Grendel (Crispin Hellion Glover) that has plagued their mythical kingdom in this 3D, exquisitely digitally enhanced live action, violent, star-studded (John Malkovich, Brendan Gleeson, Alison Lohman, Costas Mandylor, et al.) film that is based on the legendary epic poem, dominated by stunning visual imagery, and peppered with sophisticated humor, the slayer is not prepared for the long-term, far-reaching consequences exacted by the monster's seductive, vengeful, dragon-tailed mother (Angelina Jolie).
