{{quote|''I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! '''[[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|I! AM! BEOWULF!]]'''''}}
 
This '''''Beowulf''''' is the 2007 film written by [[Roger Avary]] (who co-wrote ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'') and [[Neil Gaiman]], directed by [[Robert Zemeckis]], and starring [[Ray Winstone]]. Not (for instance) the very strange 1999 film starring Christopher Lambert.
 
It's a [[Motion Capture]] [[3D Movie]] adaptation of the epic ''[[Beowulf]]''. The premise is an [[External Retcon]]: the story of Beowulf as we know grew in the telling (with a bit of help from Beowulf himself), and the "true" events are somewhat different -- and, in a couple of key sequences where there were no witnesses and the story relies on the hero's word alone, ''very'' different.
