Beobarf

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2007)

Well, it has nice scenery. That's it for the good news. The acting was transparent. Oh sure, it's a time when men were men and women were... vassals and plots were optional. But nothing is properly developed. We are taken down one road to develop a character or plot line only to have it dead end. Then there's all the hooey. The burning worm is nothing more than a bunch of men carrying torches. Gee, the locals couldn't work that out? The marauders aren't really demons, they're men dressed up in bear costumes. And the evil "mother", looks more like an escapee from a Rave, high on crystal. She dips her fangnail into a bowl of black goo...ooh scary! Crichton can be a good story teller, sometimes. But this was more like a retelling of Beowulf as visualized by the Smerfs. Poor.
