Why waste so many great effects?

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2007)

I was excited at the thought of a film that was not limited, in anyway, by stunts and fight scenes. However while enduring the "action packed" film, it was apparent that the realistic effects had become so realistic that they had incorporated the real life limitations. Accept for a few moments of excitement the film lacked the over the top and adrenalin filled action that being completely computer animated would have allowed. The story itself is a great legend..however with the huge amount of changes to the tale it is barley recognisable. This is a film you should see if you want to check out the amazing similarities between the actors and their animated characters, however if you want a good film, with action and a strong story.....take a trip to blockbuster and rent the original Beowulf! a much better film.
