Beowulf

Beowulf is the best movie I have seen in the last seven years. 

Yes, i have seen all 3 movies in the L.O.T.R trilogy and I still think Beowulf wipes the floor with all of them. 

With a cast that includes a knight(Hopkins), the most beautiful woman on Earth (Jolie) and a man who has possibly the most diverse acting repertoire of any actor I have EVER SEEN!!(Malkovich), plus the abnormal directing talents of Robert Zemeckis, it is pure movie gold.

The thing that really set the seal on this one for me was the fact that Grendel's (Crispin Glover's) script was entirely in Anglo - Saxon, which is a truly beautiful language and one which I, myself, love & am starting to very slowly learn e.g modor, meaning mother.
