A bit disappointment!

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2007)

I saw this movie and I couldn't decide whether this movie deserves to be speak of or not. Well I'm damn sure it is worth! But not because it's good but rather disappointing. As a matter of fact it is a failure. When I looked through the cast I thought OK, my favorite actor Sir Anthony Hopkins took part in this, it must have been good. And the plot was all right. But I was wrong. Besides its unique 3D graphic, the hole movie is a cliché which is took part in the medieval Denmark. The same old story: a kingdom needs to be saved from an evil demon, of course the hero will arrive soon after the terrifying massacre. Yes! Very original and it is very very astonishing that the king has got filthy background. Returning scenes does not very various neither the characters speeches. After a dozen "I'm Beowulf, the mighty and the cool guy" I was a little bit annoyed. Actors are professionals, it was a routine job for Sir Hopkins and Angelina Jolie, but nothing significant. The directing was proper too, I think the mistake was committed in the screenplay.
However the reason why I gave it 5/10 is the graphic and one symbol: Grendel is freak and evil monster, also the son of the king, but Beowulf's son is a mighty, pure but also an evil dragon. Their sons refer to their real personalities, which are not so noble. I think this is mentionable, but it clears up during the movie.
