Beowulf Sucks
I’m probably one of few fantasy fans who thinks Beowulf is a crappy movie. It’s a movie that believes it is out of the uncanny valley, but it’s firmly on the upward slope about half way. The characters were straight out of a wax museum, and the animation wrenched me out of the movie constantly along the ride. I was completely unable to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy the movie. And, literary fallacies aside, it was pretty boring with rare interruptions of good action, and the “plot” jumped around every time there almost was one.

Did you see it on 3-D in an IMAX?
I didn’t, but almost anything is cool in 3D on an IMAX.
Beowulf looked very cheesy from the commercials
If you need IMAX to make your movie even remotely entertaining then you are about a decade ahead of your time.
Save crappy 3D movies till 2015.
Yup, the movie was quite awful. I was pretty excited when i saw the previews because i was a fan of the story back in College when we had to read it, but the movie did that little justice.
But i will agree with cuppycake, seeing it in I-Max 3D definatly made it not a total loss of the $8!
This movie was made to be seen in 3D, and made to be on a big screen. Of course it sucked if you watched it on a regular screen. =)
screenplay by Neil Gaiman=can’t be good
This rely rely sucked. Im am persionaly a fan of fantasy and that movie was like a bad adult ferytail.
Yes. yes it did, and I am glad that holloywood sucks so badly. So happy. No I don’t like angelina. She isn’t pretty, she’s just consuming, and big, and crappy.
Beowulf sucks cuz beowulf dosnt act like a viking he acts like a fucking prince from the middleage…
