Silly popcorn flick.

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2007)

When a enjoy a movie, I say so, when I really enjoy a movie, I rave about it (No country for old men).
When I have other thoughts about a movie, I trash it- so here goes.
I thought it was cool for the first five to ten minutes. I thought it might be worth watching. . and then Beowolf turned up.
I'm sure other reviewers have mentioned most of this, so I'll just break it down:
The good- the first five to ten minutes.
The bad:
Bad voice acting, unnecessary adult graphics and dialog. Terrible voice acting from Ray Winstone Silly plot etc . .
It's yet another example, among the many, how you cannot, simply cannot use flashy visuals to make a movie. It just becomes silly and hollow. It's just embarrassing to hear macho, bravado detailing how Beowolf killed nine sea monsters and then Grendel's mother. It *is* amusing how they manage to block the view of Beowolf's genitals with cunning shot after cunning shot. I might add that it was fun to look upon a naked and fake, but voluptuous looking (and fake) Angelina Jolie.
Anyway, back to the thread. I found this movie to be extremely mediocre. It actually makes it worse that they used some fun and very pretty animation with such an atrocious script.
Ah well, perhaps they might use this technology, refine it and make better flicks.
