the CD was hit or miss. Sometimes it looked cool and sometimes it looked hokie. When they spoke you could tell it was CG. I kept thinking that it really didn't look much better than Shrek. It almost seemed like they spent 1 hour per figure and 8 on angelina.

Well, if you had a choice of rendering Ray Winstone's "Business" or Angelina's boobies, which one would you choose?

Wait... he jumps around nekkid? If I wanted to see that, I would go watch "Eastern Promises."

Yeah Beowulf is a tad bit more narcissistic than I remember.  The beginning is of him talking about himself and getting nekked just cuz he can I guess?  They do the 'well placed object' schtick so that his bits and two pieces never show.  But that was more CG crack than I bargained for.  Made me laugh though how quickly he got nekked when there was a woman that he liked around.

Yeah, from what I've heard from EVERYONE that's seen it is that this movie blows.

My Dad described it as "watching a video game," and that it was boring to watch without being able to play.

honestly, I've seen this, and I liked it.  I thought the drama scenes were done very well, hiding the CG within reasonable levels.  I think the CG allowed the Action/combat scenes to be more outlandish than a real cast could ever have accomplished.  I was sitting through the movie just thinking... wow... this would turn into a kick-ass story for an Exaltedtm game.

and for those who seem to be mis-informed on who is who's daddy, Grendel is Hrothgar's son, and always has been, in most of the versions of this epic that I've seen.  The plot in this case was surprisingly sex-related (but with animate Angelina, what else were we really expecting).

I have cooked up a subtitle for this movie:  The Queen's Quest for Some Pussy.

Once you watch it, you'll understand why   ;)

I can't go into more, without spoilers, but I really enjoyed the film, especially Beowulf's "little" story about "Sea Monsters."

I saw it as a boot leg at a friends, it was horrible quality, but i still found it good.

....... I couldnt help but wonder what grendel was thinking as he had a naked Beowulf crawling on him... "OH GOD!! THERES SOMETHING POKING MY BACK THERES SOMETHING POKING MY BACK!!!!"
