Beowulf

Ripping and rousing epic about the mythic Scandinavian hero (Ray Winstone) and his band of warriors who set out to save a kingdom by vanquishing fire-breathing dragons and a bewitching creature of the deep (played with watery menace by Angelina Jolie). Crispin Glover is a freaky fright as the demonic, misshapen Grendel. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary.
