I studied Beowulf intensively in college, taking an entire graduate English course just on that book. I tend to be pretty critical of most movies that end up with the name "Beowulf" attached to them, because most of them really demolish the story.
I'm excited, however, about the newest Beowulf movie that comes out this November. It probably helps a lot that it's being directed by Neil Gaiman. I think that, as an author, he will have a lot of respect for the story, which makes me happy.

It's definitely worth reading! Since I assume you will want to read it in modern English (as opposed to the original Old English), look for the Davidson translation if you can--it's one of the better ones.
