Cool movie but way too much computer animation and effects!

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2008)

I just finished watching Beowulf on DVD and really enjoyed the film more then I anticipated. Sometimes I think having the expectation that the film will be bad when you watch it is a good thing as too not let you down if it's really just a bad movie. I went into this film thinking that the effects would be poor. When I watched it I realized that everything in this movie is CG and Special Effects processed. I heard they had to digitally enhance Angelina Jolie as she was still pregnant when she did this film. This movie also has Anthony Hopkins and John Malkovich. very good story and this film flowed well. I didn't really get bored. I thought the computer effects were nice but I still don't like movies that depend too much on the computer effects. This was a film that was paid very good attention too and has lot's of eye candy for the viewer. On a whole, this movie gets a sore of eight in my rating system and is well worth the watch to see what all the hype is about.
