Pros: Tremendous artwork for the most part, strong "voice" acting and great music Cons: See review re females' depictions
Director Robert Zemeckis has directed a wide variety of films in his career such as "Forrest Gump", "Contact", and "Back to the Future". For his source material here Zemeckis uses the oldest surviving epic of British literature. While the original ...
Pros: Decent storyline, good cast... Cons: ... too much blood, too little character development, and where's the fun?!?
Beowulf is based on the oldest English narrative poem in existence (at least, if there's an older one, I don't know about it!). I'm not sure exactly how much the film sticks to the original, but it's basically the classic tale of ...
Pros: Six-pack solid action with great CGI carnage. Cons: Pacing a bit slow in the middle of the film.
I’ll be the first to admit I skipped the literary classic Beowulf in high school English, but with Beowulf trailers swarming the Internet I had to go see the movie. This animated movie Beowulf (2007) starts of like most adventures introducing ...
Pros: Some cool visuals, good story Cons: The whole thing looks like a PS3 game cinematic
I saw Beowulf on Thanksgiving night and was not overly impressed. I liked the movie and was entertained by it, but I thought it had a major novelty factor that wore thin pretty quickly. My friend agreed. I know several other people who already saw ...
Pros: Really well done. Animation, Voice acting, story. Cons: Only a select few theaters show the movie in 3 D
The oldest known heroic poem of the Anglo Saxons is BEOWULF. It is a tale that has been passed down since 1000 AD. Over the last 10 years, it has also been presented in a number of movies, but until now, none of them very good. The Legend of ...
Pros: Great story and animation; excellent characterizations Cons: Purists will hate it
I’ve been looking forward to Neil Gaiman’s version of Beowulf when I first got wind of the project back in 1997. I’m a huge fan of Gaiman’s work since he first started The Sandman comic book series for Vertigo, a DC ...
Pros: CG good sometimes, nice attention to mythology/legend Cons: CG bad sometimes, boring characters, too straightforward
I had high hopes for Neil Gaiman’s Beowulf. Written by one of my favorite authors, and directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future / Cast Away) I felt like they could do no wrong. Combined with what I hoped was a good script, Beowulf also ...
Pros: Fantastic CGI animation, gripping story Cons: The PG-13 rating is misleading, this is not one for the kiddies.
the story Twas the 6th century and in the kingdom of Denmark there ruled a drunken king named Hrothgar, along with his Queen Wealthow. The Danish kingdom has conquered many lands and has collected many treasures ...
Pros: the ending is good, the dragon is awesome, Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie Cons: boring beginning, looks like a video game, the story promises much but delivers little
All that build-up, just to get to the dragon? (Beowulf) Tidbits: This is not the story that you might have been forced to read in high school. For me, it was college. The film has the flavor of a ...
Pros: Amazing FX Cons: May be to violent for some.
The classic Epic poem Beowulf has come to the big screen in a stunning CGI extravaganza under the direction of Director Robert Zemeckis. For those not familiar with the poem, it is an ancient Danish poem that talks of the heroic exploits of ...
Pros: See this for the dazzling animation and the gory blood-letting. Cons: If this were a live action film, I probably would've waited for the dvd.
BEOWULF isn't exactly subtle. In the annals of barbaric Sword & Sorcery, subtlety doesn't much enter into the picture. This movie instead is over-the-top, gruesome, and oh so violent. And that's just the way we like our Beowulf. The story, written by ...
This is one of those I will never have those two hours of my life back again movies. I mean did they even read Beowulf before they decide to wreck one of the oldest known hero stories? The visuals are good, but the people look a little off in some ...
Pros: A mindblowing ride through the greatest Saga of all time! Cons: May need some backstory to fully appreciate.
Beowulf (2007) Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Screenplay by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. From the Oldest Surviving English Epic. When I heard they were making a CGI version of Beowulf, I was quite intrigued. When I heard who the director ...
Pros: cgi, 3D effects, dragons and monsters. Cons: cgi, 3D effect, dragons and monster overwhelm epic.
Well, this week I had a choice between 'Beowulf' and 'An American Gangster.' I decided on 'Beowulf' because I wanted to test the waters of 3d again. I opted against 'Gangster' only based on it's length(running time). I just don't have three hours ...
Pros: Great animation, good story Cons: Lots of blood and guts.
There is not too much talk about those dragon-prowed ships making their way over the sea-paths in this latest incarnation of the old English poem so many of us read in high school or college freshman lit courses. Grendel (Crispin Hellion Glover) was ...
In the age of heroes comes the mightiest warrior of them all, Beowulf. After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, he incurs the undying wrath of...More at HotMovieSale.com
