    This is not even the real epic story of Beowulf, it was a twisted interpretation. Very disappointing.

    How could 'Beowulf' ever be brought to the screen? An all star cast of real actors is a help... a well conceived script with larger than life characters and a magnificent score. Great film that drew attention from the get go. Sex, violence and an epic story of truth and heros. That's what I'm talking about.Great job from Ray Winstone who was unknown to ne until earlier this year. What an actor.
