If you have can you explain the relationship between Beowulf and Grendel's mother because they look like they like each other in the trailer for the movie. In the poem he kills her. But i read a watered down version in school so does he like Grendels mom?

Not hardly - not does she like him, He killed her child; they're deadly enemies:
"Then--
not at all shrinking from combat!-- the War-Geats'
prince (Beowulf) seized Grendel's mother by the
shoulder, and, stern in the struggle-- swollen
with rage as he was, then!-- he flung his deadly
enemy, so that she fell on the floor.
But quickly she gave him repayment in turn,
with angry grips, and grasped at him; weary
of heart, then, stumbled, so that he fell;
and then she sat on her "guest" in that hall,
and drew her dagger, broad and bright-edged:
she wished to avenge her child, her only
offspring! But the breast-net of woven
rings lay on Beowulf's shoulder, and so
protected his life, withstanding the entry
of point and of edge-- Ecgtheow's son,
the champion of the Geats, would then
have perished under the vast earth, had not
his battle-corselet-- that hard war-net!--
afforded him help-- and God the most holy
brought about victory in battle:

No you fool, Beowulf is an extremely old English poem celebrating a Scandinavian hero named Beowulf. After comments of a village being pressured by utilising a monster, Beowulf inspects the English village, unearths the monster and kills it, finding out that the monster had had a splash one with a human. Then the mum of the monster lures Beowulf into her lair and tries to kill him yet Beowulf prevails and saves the day. desire this helped.

Nope. In the epic poem, he hates her. You're right--he kills her. She sneaks into the warrior's hall and kills one of the warriors (as revenge for Beowulf killing her son, Grendel). So Beowulf follows her trail to her home in the poisonous lake, dives down to her underwater cave, and kills her with a giant sword that he finds on the wall of her den.

No he greatly dislikes her and has attempted to kill her. She is beast living in the forest I don't think she is even supposed to be human and I'm pretty sure Beowulf wants her gone and vice cersa since he killed Grendel.
