BEOWULF is not a movie for children or families. Read the Empire Movie review of Beowulf. It's not a reinvention of the wheel, but it raises the bar for what James Cameron is planning with.

Hope this review of the beowulf helpful. Would you like to review this movie? Of course, there is the hero too, Beowulf (Winstone), the roving monster-slayer who helps King Hrothgar (Hopkins) rid his kingdom of the monster Grendel. Beowulf is wildly silly and there are a few groanworthy moments, particularly when Beowulf strips off to fight Grendel nude, and various goblets and swords miraculously impede your view of his genitals.
