Beowulf

It was an epic animation that looked as real as it can gets. About a warrior who helped a king hrogar to kill Grendel, a mutated monster liked outcast. Ironically, this outcast was the king's son. During the night, where grendel attacked the king's celebration, he killed almost everyone but could not touched the king, who was protected.

Protected by ? The pact that the King made with ....

Then came Beowulf, the warrior who slayed grendel for the king. This pissed off Grendel's Lao Bu, voiced and modeled after Angelina Jolie. She came one night and murdered almost all of Beowulf's troops. So beowulf had to find her and killed her.

He did find her but then .... He was too weak to resist the Lao Bu indecent proposal. She need someone to have a child with. Beowulf agreed and in return he will be King and will be protected.The same pact King Hrogar had.

Since it was the same pact, the son came back to haunt him. But this time, not the mutated monsterous thingie anymore, a golden dragon that almost tored his kingdom apart. He had no choice to battle it.

Beowulf hanging from the dragon, attempting to pierce its heart was inches away, so as to get nearer, he slained his arm and dislocated his arm. He did killed it but paid with his life as well.
Quite worth watching if you liked animation movies. 7/10
