holy crap!

Rating: 1/10 (16 November 2007)

Please let me start by saying that the only reason i gave this movie a 1 is because it won't let me select a negative number. I saw no redeeming qualities about this movie despite the cast (Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Brendon Gleeson, Crispin Glover, and other assorted nameless peons). The basis of the movie is of course the epic of the hero Beowulf, a worthy endeavor, if the production company would actually stick to the friggin story. The plot was hard to follow and the accents were too thick (i.e.-they were hard to understand) the fact that Sangri-La decided to use CGI was a completely idiotic move. I understand that you can't get some of the shots of the monsters without it but the whole movie?.... come on now. The script writer ought to be fired, i mean how lame can you get with the main character screaming "I AM BEOWULF!!!" every other breath. I can honestly say that I had high hopes for this movie based on the previews, but when it was over I couldn't help thinking "Well, there's two hours of my life I can't get back." In short......don't waste your money.
