By Cherryl Dawson And Leigh Ann Palone (956) for TheMovieChicks.com (956) on 16 Nov 2007

By Kevin Williamson (186) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 16 Nov 2007

Beowulf is a spellbinder for the senses -- immersive, electrifying, a landmark for techno-fetishist Robert Zemeckis and his throngs of giga-nerd…

Review of Beowulf (1999)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 16 Nov 2007
