| Full Review oF The BeowulF Movie | | 2008-03-20 05:51:53 | | Why do people bother to make full CGI movies when there are actors to do the acting? I am babbling about the full CGI movie entitled Beowulf, starring the voices of Angelina Jolie, & Anthony Hopkins to name the least. Whatever the reason for the full CGI decision, I think Angelina Jolie & Anthony Hopkins looks way much better in real life. Nonetheless, the two famous actor & actress have their images embodied in the Beowulf CGI movie. I suppose more Beowulf video game endorsements are coming for both of them too in the future.Beowulf is the best CGI (Computer generated imagery) full animation movie to date. The story of Beowulf starts in Denmark in around 502 a.d where a king stands merry with his subjects & his riches in a great hall up to until a giant of a monster, ugly as heck, twice as tall as the tallest man with burned skin, intrudes on the party & kills many of the King’s people. Straight into the thick of the action is the Beowulf movie.The strange thing | | By: movie special | | |
| | | Beowulf: Worst Movie Ever | | 2007-12-02 21:30:41 | | Somehow, Beowulf received a 70% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I can only assume that they are very easily distracted by shiny objects...The movie I watched was a clusterfuck of blind drunk Norsemen, zombies, blood, gore, rape and stilettos made of golden ooze. And while that sounds like a pretty kick ass movie, it wasn't, and I'm not even positive why. It wasn't the fact that they totally disregarded the epic poem the movie was supposedly based upon (they followed the plot loosely up until the fight with Grendel and then I think they might as well have been going off of A Handmaid's Tale for how well it followed form), because they totally just said screw that shit.Perhaps they were just too busy to staring at how pretty the animation was to actually write an adequate script, perhaps it was written after the writer's strike began, maybe they just figured people wouldn't care. Obviously, I'm the only one who did from the glowing reviews the movie has gotten.I'm not even sure how they fucked up this movie. It's the greatest hero of all times fighting monsters and then sacrificing himself in a blaze of glory for his people. How do you mess that up?! Oh, that's right... by not following the story, ripping off every action movie ever made (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 300, Braveheart, etc, etc), having a bunch of actors put together wooden performances with an awful script. Was anyone inspired by Beowulf's speeches? I've never been less inspired in my life. The entire movie can be summarized in one scene where Beowulf is swallowed by a sea monster and jumps out through the creature's eye, sword slashing, dripping with gore and yelling "I am Beowulf!". There, I saved you the pain of seeing it yourself.The message of the whole ordeal is something along the lines of "don't think with your dick", instead of the ideals of courage, arrogance and excellence that the poem is based upon, but even that message is muddied.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a 3D movie in theaters and to be exact I believe it was Captain Eo starring Michael Jackson (at Disneyland). So with that being said it was a real treat to watch a movie on a digital 3D screen….not [...] | | By: Popcorn Ninja | | |
| | Beowulf… more like “Gay-owulf”… | | 2007-11-30 02:21:12 | | Beowulf is very redundant movie. A very action packed, intense, thrilling, exciting, fierce, powerful movie; with one ripping, tearing, slashing, gouging talon and teeth filled scene after another. Also, the movie has Jesus in it, and golden boobs.Watching this movie was like being transported into another world, an ancient world that still had the plague and where rape ran rampant in the streets. This effect was so strong that even the movie theater was transformed into the Roman Forum for a time and ideas and opinions were voiced aloud to the public. I’m thinking of course of when the big dark man behind me lectured his young child about the science of buying pop at the multiplex and followed up with a detailed explanation of the chemistry of sugar and caffeine in relation to the size of an extra large movie-soda bucket. Or when a particularly articulate bright woman voiced her dismay over the metaphor in the film that related a goblet with a vagina. Though, I must admit, this is one comparison I myself found confusing- one is a totalitarian object, the other is a drinking cup, the similarities are few. Or perhaps it was the voice of reason in the theater that called for “More titties!” and urged the hero further in his battle with a supportive shout of “Go get em Gay-owulf!” which completed this feeling of time travel for me. All I know is that for a time I was an artist and an aerator, seated with the greatest minds of my time observing a drama I supposed would rival those of Sophocles and Ennius. But alas, this film’s greatness, like it’s moral message, must have been in 4-D while the glasses they gave me could only see 3.Full of fight scene, naked men and golden women Beowulf seems to have everything going for it: George McFLy in a screaming tantrum, a shinny Laura Croft, a five and a half foot tall Gimli. How could it loose? How could so much nudity and blood become excessive so quickly? How could the amazing 3-D effects feel so gimm | | By: Blast Shields Down | | |

| Fletch's Film Review: Beowulf | | 2007-11-29 10:49:00 | | I managed to escape having to read Beowulf in high school, but that won't stop me from learning my literature the American way - on the big screen!It's hard to really praise or denounce the film too much. On one hand, it's a smorgasbord of cinematic magic that gets taken for granted these days - I start to feel old when I think that the sights featured in the film are pretty much commonplace for the kiddies out there in the audience. Despite its flaws (more on those later), the movie is pretty breathtaking to see when you disengage yourself from the story or the fact that a naked facsimile of Angelina Jolie is staring you in the face - the level of detail given, especially for closeups and/or frames without much movement, are photo-realistic. Meaning if you were looking at a still, you'd barely be able to tell that this was created by computers. As fancy as many of the special effects you see in films these days are, to this day, there aren't many that would pass that test.On the | | By: Blog Cabins | | |
| | Beowulf (2007) PG-13 113min | | 2007-11-17 01:17:05 | | Just came out of the theatre. Saw it in both regular and 3D. This movie should only be seen in 3D! Completely different experience.
The plot is based on the only known surviving Anglo-Saxon poetry manuscript about a warrior Beowulf, hero of Geats (a.k.a. Goths, Swedes)Â in 6th century A.D. who defeated three antagonists: the demon [...] | | By: Maxim's Movie Reviews and Opinions Blog | | |

Beowulf è il più antico poema sopravvissuto in lingua inglese. Per questa ragione, o forse per la forza con cui ha contaminato il fantasy odierno, lo sceneggiatore Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction, Silent Hill) ha portato avanti un'opera di totale riscrittura del testo originale, a sua volta trascritto e quasi certamente modificato dai monaci del tempo. Così, spalleggiato da Neil Gaiman (innovativo fumettista nonché lodevole narratore - suo è il personaggio di Sandman -) ha riempito quei buchi narrativi poco chiari, rendendo il racconto lineare e comprensibile. | | By: Binario Loco | | |
| | Beowulf | | 2007-08-06 21:49:41 | | Beowulf was a story I read when I was in school. But I don’t remember it but it was very boring. I see this movie trailer and don’t understand why it was so boring. I guess I should try reading it again.
