I'm waiting for next year's version by Robert Zemeckis. |

I did not know that! I assure you this one is quality as well. It had a reasonable budget and some very nice imagery and was well acted throughout. Of course this budget will not match Zemeckis I would still see both if I were you. I think you will really enjoy this one:) |

I liked it a lot. Nice to see a fantasy/action movie that actually had thought and emotion put into it rather than just soaking the movie in CGI. |

I bought this today, just finished watching it here at work (I love this place!). Grendel looks pretty cool. He's got like a prosthetic muscle suit on, which is odd. You can't really tell unless you really pay attention, though. I guess you just can't find muscular dude with Popeye's forearms without going prosthetic. Haha. It's light on action, but heavy on intrigue and suspense, which I thought was interesting. It works, though. It's a different take on the old Norse poem. Grendel isn't necessarily a mindless, ferocious killer in this movie. He's basically just out for revenge and not interested in anyone but a select group. The dialogue is cool and not overdrawn. The cussing was a surprise, though. Haha. And the witch came off a little un-Witchlike. She seemed more like a sitcom smartass at times. There are two really cool scenes. One in the beginning where Beowulf is killing some dude and he beheads someone and the body runs headless for like three more feet before plopping to the ground! Hahaha. It's looked awesome. Then toward the end when the Christian dude gets bitch-slapped! Another cool scene. You gotta watch it, though. This movie is worth buying. It's a new release it seems, was on sale for $17.99. |
