Proof that a gimmick is still just a gimmick

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2009)

This film was on my avoid at all costs list for quite some time. Why? Cause the film felt like one massive gimmick after another. Oh, it's in CGI! Oh, it's 3D! Oh, the DVD is UNRATED! All the adds sold it on these gimmicks and good visuals, but there was never a statement on the actual plot or why this movie was good? So, the adds didn't sell the movie, they were selling the tools to sell the movie. That right there made me think it would be trash, and was I wrong?
The hero, who can't stop saying his own name and must fight all his enemies but naked(one of the most random things I have ever seen) is just silly.
The plot is dull and the action scenes simply aren't engaging in anyway. The ending is also plan and predictable. Grendel, who should be one of the films main selling points, is killed off in 30 minutes! Not only that, you can't understand one blasted thing he says So in all, I should have stayed with my gut. A gimmick in the end is only a gimmick and it shouldn't be a mistaken quality for a film.
