Beowolf

Rating: 5/10 (3 December 2007)

I went to see Beowulf, expecting extravagant effects and elaborate animation. For the most part the movie had reached my expectations, however there were many elements that ultimately destroyed the movie. I walked out of the movie theater regretting seeing this film. Beowulf is just another fast-paced action movies, that very desperately tries to obtain a prehistoric element. Inevitably, the movie did not leave any traces of the old English Poem that "Beowulf" seem to mention. This of course was predicted, due to the fact that the makers are from Hollywood. In addition, "Beowulf" contained no sign of originality whatsoever. The film follows the lead of "300," with the main character roaring similar phrases such as "I am Beowulf!." The 3D effects, ultimately did not effect the movie besides the slow- motion gore shots and jagged arrows flying towards your eyes. If you are looking for gore drenched action in 3D than this is a movie for you.
