Hollywood rapes another classic story in favor of SEX

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2007)

Well overall the movie was not bad at all. I might have gone so far as to say it was "good" had I not been familiar with the ACTUAL story of Beowulf.
A more appropriate title for the movie would be "A story vaguely based on BEOWULF". In all seriousness, this classic story that has survived the ages was utterly defiled in favor of cheap Hollywood style sexual drama. These parts were so poorly put together that it really seems like Angelina Jolie blackmailed the writers to change the script the night before.
It was full of good action however, and a couple laughs, but the modern cliché's detracted from the epic nature of the story. It's worth seeing if you're a technology fanatic because this is the best piece of computer generated graphics that I have ever seen. In some parts the motions are kind of strange, but in others, the renders are so beautiful and photo-realistic.
