Beowulf

PRIDE IS THE CURSE.

In 6th century Denmark, the monster Grendel crashes a party at a castle and kills a lot of people; the king (Anthony Hopkins) hires a warrior called Beowulf (Ray Winstone) to destroy him.Ā AfterĀ The Polar ExpressĀ (2004), director Robert Zemeckis made another film with performance capture technology; the results are a slight improvement. The animation still looks plastic at times, but the action sequences (Grendelā€™s attacks and the dragon fight) are exhilarating. The castā€™s lively performances and the exciting story of the Medieval poem on which the script is based also help.

2007-U.S. Animated. 114 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Robert Zemeckis. Screenplay: Neil Gaiman, Roger Avary. Song: “A Hero Comes Home” (Alan Silvestri, Glen Ballard). Cast: Ray Winstone (Beowulf), Anthony Hopkins (Hrothgar), Angelina Jolie (Grendel’s Mother), John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson… Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman.
