Um 12A? I don't think so.

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2008)

The 3D version blew me away, animation these days has far exceeded human comprehension.
There is a fight with a dragon near the end that was mindboggling, as in so incredible it boggles the mind as how to make something better.
It had flaws of course like the storyline was incredibly thin and it's just a Norwegian version of Macbeth but this film really was genuinely incredible, here's my number 1 complaint.
12A, did you know that this film was rated as 12A in my country, as in anyone under 12 could see this movie as long as they are present with an adult at the time, now, this movie was originally marked down from an R as far as i remember, clearly the reason for this was what I call the Spiderman effect, where many years ago, back in the days where you didn't have to put up with bi***in little brats in the front rows, Spiderman was deemed a 12, and because lots of children got disappointed that they couldn't see it, they created 12A, now every film that's either Animated or Superhero falls within this category clearly on hopes of making more money, because Beowulf is fully animated, the world seems to think it's perfectly safe to also allow it into the category.
Well, colour me confused because the first 3 lines of the movie included the word Ba**ard, and much of what i saw was a heap of blood, a mountain of guts, a man getting his head bitten off, and constant sex references including a fully nude (stupid people think it's a gold Bikini, it's paint, you can see her nipples) Jolie, Naked Beowulf, people sleeping together naked and a woman going "Oooh, OOOH, AAAHHH" as she cleaned a wooden table while her massive rack poked out of her green dress.
But, as i said, clearly because it's animated, and there is no actual sex involved, it's 12A meterial.
Does anyone else agree with me.
