Harryhausen 2007 style

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2008)

I think this movie represents Harryhausen style in 2008. Pretty entertaining and a good movie if taken with a grain of salt. The filmmakers did well limiting the serious aspects of the movie and turning Beowulf into a character half-hero/half pompous braggart, who doesn't know where the line is drawn himself. CGI is the typical '300' thing, with a lot of Harryhausen moments, but thoroughly enjoyable. Even Beowulf looks more like a CGI video game character than a human being, but it's alright. A couple A+ actors ( definitely this is NOT some B production ) who aren't bad but make little to no difference and good overboard acting by Beowulf. Take it like your next super-CGI cartoon movie. There is a guy wearing a 'bald head' prosthetic that looks fake one km away.
