Such possibilities such sorrow. I vaguely remember reading the story of Beowulf in 9th grade but I didn't remember it being quite so violent. It started out interesting until I saw the monster Grendel biting off heads and tearing apart bodies. Beowulf is the last of the heroes and goes to stop the monster Grendel for money and fame. Grendel is killed and his mother (Angelina Jolie) takes revenge. Beowulf makes a deal with her and becomes king. Beowulf has more troubles later as an old King when his deal with Gredel's mother is broken. He must fight a dragon more deadly than any monster he has faced before. Good story but I still say skip it unless you want to catch up on your mythology. However, the special effects were amazing and the dragon at the end was really well done.

I heard that this movie doesn't even really follow the mythology, so it's probably not even good for brushing up on that! Wasn't this made by the same people who made Polar Express? That style of animation freaked me out then, and it freaks me out, now. Please use your movie-world influence to make them all go back to traditional animation!
Nice blog.
