  • kinda looks like diablo 2 cinematics. i loved those

  • I don't get it what was the curse?

  • I was fascinated with this movie!

  • He´s like the original Chuck Norris!.

  • I think this was the best trailer. Although there were semi-spoilers in it.

  • I am BEOWULF!

  • Amazing trailer!!! XD

  • Why can't they just keep the original storyline of the poem? The poem was awesome, but the movie STINKS. The movie may be called "Beowulf," but it is NOT Beowulf because the story is NOTHING ALIKE. This is blatant FALSE ADVERTISING, and the makers of this movie should be sued.

  • @ClassicCartoonsGuy Everyone knows this movie is not like the poem, it wasnt meant to be.. Its to show how the legend of Beowulf could've been.. Its a very old story and no one can tell what rly happened back then.

  • @MiKhAiL0vIcH If if wasn't meant to be like the epic, then they should not have called it "Beowulf." The Beowulf epic is fiction, as in, it didn't really happen, so what the epic says IS the story. The movie is just plain pathetic.

  • @ClassicCartoonsGuy Well thats like ur opinion man.. I think the movie is awesome and i dont think i'll ever get tired of it;-)

  • Comment removed

  • whats the soundtrack played here at 1:42? pm me plz

  • @FEAR709 Soundtrack is Ashes to ashes by groove addicts for anyone else who wants to know.

  • thx

  • I'm not British. I'm an American who was taking a British Literature course at the time.

    I didn't realize the Jutes were the Danes. That would make sense though, given Hrothgar was a Danish king. It was a literature course, so we only covered the basics, rather than going in depth on the history part. We had to get all the way from Beowulf to Gulliver's Travels, after all.

  • pretty cool movie :D

  • Where is second part?

  • she's not my curse...not anymore.

    I will say that when I devorce my wife

  • ... but... did you killed her? ;)

  • @chuckchizzle ahhahaha 

  • beowulf was stolen from celtic mythology

  • Actually no. It was Germanic mythology that people like the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes brought to England. The actual Beowulf story takes place in Denmark (Hrothgar's kingdom) and wherever Geat-land is (presumably somewhere else in Scandinavia).

  • no all that was stolen from celtic mythology germanic have no european heritage they are from asia

  • Pardon? That sounds more like the Huns, who drove the Germanic peoples to places like England in the first place. The Beowulf poem we have today is an Anglo-Saxon retelling of a story from the Germanic tradition, with Christian elements added by the monks who recorded it. Genuine Celtic mythology survived in Ireland and Wales, and was very different.

  • Goet-land is in Sweden, there is Västergötland and Östergötland, in English it is called West and East Gothia.

  • It actually hasn't been distinguished what type of mythology this is. It is must presumably Celtic, but Anglo-saxon and Irish claims have been made to the epic, and they all have their justified reasons. In the end, since the writer is unknown, we can't currently say what type of mythology the story is.

  • it was originally told by Vikings for a while until the monks heard of it and wrote it and inserted Christianity in it

  • True, but the Vikings weren't the ones who conquered England. Those were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, who came from where modern day Germany is. The Vikings' interest in England was only in smash-and-grab.

  • whats that song called at the end

  • ashes to ashes -groove addicts

  • song is " a hero comes home" performed by Idina Menzel (listen to her other stuff) voice is remarkable. Don't confuse her end tune with same song sung by Robin Penn early in the film

  • To be honest I'm appaled at how much you all know about the actual poem; Beowulf.

    "They should make a second"

    What a moron.

    And Grendal wasn't a monster, He was a Troll from what I remember.

  • The movie was ok. I personally didnt like the movie but hey. One thing i didnt was y he fightin grendel naked. Me bein 5'3 and 119 if a grown ass naked man was screamin at me sayin I am Beowulf i'd be scared 2. I feel sorry for grendal

  • this trailer ROCKS just like the movie

  • I liked the movie! Watched it twice!

  • This movie was terrible, mockery of the book.

  • Who knows, that Beowulf in the book might have been revised by poets through the ages before it was scribed in that old manuscript, so it wasn't so original anymore?

    I like the idea that they made Hrothgar the father of Grendel because if there is Grendel's mother, then where is the father?

  • neh?. hrothgar? father of grendel?. wtf. i mean. why?. we are studying the epic of BEOWULF in our school. and as far as i know, hrothgar wasn't the father of grendel

  • Yeah, but my point is who knows what was the original story of Beowulf? That story was revised through oral tradition.

  • You'd be correct. The original poem does not consider who Grendel's father was at all, although one must presume he was some sort of monster as well. The movie adds a new theme to the story in its modern retelling of the story. ;)

    The poem we have today was written down by a Christian monk in Christianity's earliest days in Brittania, he likely hearing the tale from a festival storyteller. Thus the Christian themes found in the text (that Grendel is a descendant of Cain, for instance). ;)

  • I love this movie, I saw it several times, at times watching it, I can't tell wether it's animation or real! Isn't weeglove (Beowulf's second man) the guy from Braveheart....the guy with the big beird, what's his name.....oh yeah HEMISH.

  • they should make a second one.

  • And put who in it lol...beowulf died (do not say 'his son' pmsl)

  • Beowulf didn't die when i watched the movie.... it was his son that died-.-

  • at the intro,a subliminal message appears, 2 POP

  • rad trailer

  • it was an awesome movie loved it awesome

  • I didn't like the movie ;)

  • SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • YOU'RE BOTH...  FAGS!

  • I AM ANIMATED!

  • lol yeah this movie is wayy off from the actual poem.

  • I tried watching this movie instead of reading the book for my English class... and I failed haha

  • Nice try though.

  • I wish it would have been real action instead of CGI covered. The movie is still badass though. I would like to see this EXACT movie but done in real life with CGI that's only necessary (the dragon, most fight scenes) but with real people.

    And yes, I know it was done using that actual actors faces.

  • I wish more movies were made with this CG tech. It allows for so much more. You'd change your mind if you had seen it in IMAX 3D as it was meant to be viewed.

    Also there is a live action movie called Beowulf & Grendel.

  • I can visualize a God Of War film like this.

    I never seen Beowulf. Doesn't really reach at me.

  • You should, it's a great movie, much, much, better than I expected. The trailers don't do it justice at all.

  • Beowulf dosent state who he is enough, I think he should have said "I am Beowulf" in every scene hes in, an every time he has a a line!

  • Well... this is one of my fave movie...

    Cool... eventhough it was a bit confusing... lol... but I still love it...!

  • i thought that Grendel's mother was going to be ulier as it seemed to be it the book.

  • haha lol 300 is a good film but beowulf is a bit confusing haha.

  • I AM BEOWULF!!!°°

  • they look like  thye being animated little bit

  • they are! Like the movie "The polar Express"

  • yh ***/

  • srry?

  • 300 and Beowulf are different

  • ok makes me mad 300 was a good movie beowulf is a completely diferent movie not to mention diferent story line your not getting another 300 so stop defending it beowulf never copied off of it

  • bigger the better :) (meetyourfling) c o m

    yongil

    369755

  • This is SPARTA!...oh, I mean...I AM BEOWULF!

  • TONIGHT WE'LL DINE IN HELL!...oh wait, yeah, sorry...TONIGHT WILL BE DIFFERENT!

  • if you dont appreciate the movie dont watch it, theres a smart idea, its gory and violent but so is The 300 and it is a massive movie. popular as

  • mh i thought it was ok. nothing special but a decent movie.

  • Yea I thought it wasnt that great either. It wasn't too bad though.

  • No.. It's fucked!

  • this movie is horrible it was nothing like the book I hated it.

  • i cant believe its animated...

  • tis isnt really an animated film....it was like motion captured..

  • i wish dis was 3 d in the dvd

  • Obviously its nothing wrong with the fucking movie, you don't like the genré. Fucking tart..

  • Umm this movie IS shit

  • This movie is the best ever!

  • this film was GREAT. it reminded me of the game God of War for some reason :)

  • same here i thought so because of the theme song and the violence styles

  • Watch the film again, pay attention, and you will understand the story.

  • wat was the curse im confused?

  • i absolutely loved the movie

    ur vid was amazing

    but i thought grendel was a bit scary u know the blue flashing lights and the creepy burnt skin u see this was my first"scary" film

    sry if im a wimp

  • grendel's mother's curse was so seductive but the curse was so tempting but it was so dangerous and it contains gives in to her temptations

  • What the hell are you talking about?

  • about grendel's mother's curse

  • But your sentence wasn't clear at all, and was hardly a sentence.

  • i love this film

  • i love this film

  • go away godsbolt,we dont like your kind here

    noob

  • yeah, you are the stupid here.

  • wait so the trailers on tv where made only by computer? no camera footage?

  • Isn't the MOVIE made entirely by computer?

  • i think they did to much with the grendal guy and to little with everything

  • Can anybody explain wtf is up with the mermaid that drags beowulf down...i dont understand...??? beowulf tells the story diffrent..???

  • its a referance to grendels mother later on if you watch the dvd extra it explains it a very little, its basically showing early on that he has tendancies to lie about monsters killed/ monsters he's boned.

  • is that Sir Anthony Hopkins?

    if so, he is best actor ever

  • whaaaaaaaaaaat!!! it is cartoon damnit o.O i trought it was real -.- !!!!! AMAGAD! :( now im sad :'(

  • I never realised it was cgi( not cartoon) and I was thinkin what the fuck?, but I thought it was one of the best movies I have ever seen, awesome!

  • Can anybody explain wtf is up with the mermaid that drags beowulf down.

  • Yes, if you look closely, the mermaid does resembles the beautiful water demon Beowulf makes an alliance with later, so this is supposed to be the first meeting of Beowulf & Grendel's mother who is the female demon-shape shifter. Since, Beowulf is adding demons to his story-"it was 9 sea monsters" if you remember one of his men says "last week it was 3 sea monsters" he may be imagining that he saw her at that adrenalin-pumped time or maybe he did meet her then, it is an omen of the future to be.

  • the first fight with Grendel was brutal

  • It was the most metal movie ive ever seen

  • I just wish it had more fight scenes and monsters.

  • I love this movie. There should be more movies made on Norse and other old European legends.

  • i cant believe how many bible references are in this movie. nice flick.

  • De er gud ikke.

  • Learn how to spell jackass

  • hes foreign leave him alone

  • good film and good fight scenes

  • good film and good fight scenes

  • good movie but the only part that i thought was really weird was when he fights grendal naked...the fight was cool but the naked part wasn't XD

  • lol, he explains it, since grendel has no wepons he fights with no wepons or armor either, not to mention he's just so ungodly badass that the wepons and armor would only slow him down

  • better not be a fucking love story . it looks abit like 1

  • The movie is good but i expected more !

  • in the book grendals mom is not hot shes ugly.

  • This movie was AMAZING lots of people were complaining about the blood but if you read the poem/book it has tons of fighting and sounds graphic so i dont see why people are complaining and incase you didnt know FYI this is from Saxon mythology and they were warriors so this is the type of stuff you would hear

  • swedish power!!!!!!!

  • I didnt know this was animated!

    Great movie overall and please dont try to post hate comments on the movie!

    I AM BEOWULF!

  • I AM BIERWULF !

  • yes u r bierwolf u fucking faggot!

  • yes u r bierwolf u fucking faggot!

  • Hahah.. you got two idiot replying to you.. ^^ you idiots..

  • OmG... This movie is Sooo good!! best amie movie of all time!

  • ooo

  • Just to say that movie was awesome and in 3D was much better. Anglina Jolie was nice too though I was kinda hoping to learn how that dragon can come out of Anglina.... I read the book too it said the dragon was just a lizard/ guardian of the cave that had burried treasure of princes and kings.

  • In german it sounds better... just my opinion.

  • Why didn't this get nominated for Best Animated Movie in The Golden Globes or Oscars??? This is the best animated film, both visually and in entertainment - ever.

  • The trailer is awesome even though the movie is pretty decent. What is the trailer music starting from 1:44 to 2:12?

  • The trailer makes the film look better than it is lol. Nah, great work

  • Oh man, this drama is amazing. A thilling action film that proves CGI is possible, and is an action thiler and also a fantasy -- an amazing thriller of a drama with amazing acting.

  • CGI? Animated? :)

  • Yes, the film is animated.

    Animated ... But awesome.

    This is not cartoons mate, this is ... FILM MAKING HISTORY.

    After-all, after the war of the Norse, I am Beowulf.

  • I saw it yesterday, and i totally agree with you, it should make History!

  • Well, I don't think it should make history ... But it is very amazing, and surprisingly -- brilliant.

  • I AM BIERWULF !!!!

  • Anyone know the music at about 1.42

  • oeps sorry man...bierwolf haha

  • why does a subliminal "2 POP" thing come up?

  • i loved the movie. im just wondering why they didnt stay true to the book.

  • Yeah, I agree. They made the story into a condpiracy about Grendel's mother. I read an excerpt for one of my classes, and the movie is nothing like the actually tale.

  • Wow man, is this a trailer than is fan-made or actually officially made? Which one is it? Because if this is fan-made, then .... WOW! This is 1000000 times better than the theatrical trailer AND it has awesome stuff in it. I loved the movie, and I love this trailer!! It's brilliant. After-all, this legend ... I AM BEOWULF!!!!!!

  • I loved this movie! Such great action, battles, drama and graphics were the greatest ever made ...But, this film doesn't have any susbstance on top, so it's kinda NOT the best movie ever made . But it's good.

  • Me too:D AWESOME MOVIE! if u like fantasy actiony lord of the ringsy stuff wit lots of fighting and stylised gore then youll love this! 10/10 :D

  • Exactly. Beowulf RULES
