Critic Review - Beowulf

This latest film adaptation is a triumph of classic storytelling, giving us a both hero to root for and (sympathetic) monsters to be feared. Zemeckis’ take on the fable is to play up the action and horror elements, while giving a nod to the dark sexual overtones of the original text. Ray Winstone voices Beowulf the mighty, his portly frame has been swapped out for a Schwarzenegger type. Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, and most notably Angelina Jolie have all been carefully photographed and digitally reconstructed on-screen; it’s often startling that the performances of each actor comes through the confines of their cartoon reinterpretations.
