Potentially good but...

Rating: 4/10 (5 December 2007)

Beowulf is based on a Norwegian tale where the warrior Beowulf is "hired" to kill the king of Norway's son Grendel, and later on has to concern about Grendel's mother too.
As I said, it is a potentially good story but I could not figure out why Robert Zemeckis wanted to shoot with that 3D effect. I believe having done the movie with a standard shooting with some CGI effects would be much better. I am saying this because all the work of redoing the actor's faces would be unnecessary and it would seem more real.
I cannot say much about this film, only that I did not like it because the way the story was told was very confusing, and the movie is very hard to watch.
I expected more of the director of "Forrest Gump" and "Cast Away", even though the cast of this movie does not include Tom Hanks.
