Read More I read Beowulf in high school and loved it, so I was skeptical of the movie, they did make several changes to the plot but the changes greatly enhanced the storyline. I've never said this before, but the movie was better than the book! We saw it in 3D, and the graphics were amazing! Hopefully this movie changes the industry's standards for animation. Overall great movie, fast-paced and full of action, everyone should see it! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I'm always a fan of Beowulf material, and this is no disappointment. this is not Shrek for kids, though I took my kids to it and they both enjoyed it. Its an adult feature that has profanity, nudity, and violence. See it in imax 3-D 4 best movie experience. Its a good presesntation of Beowulf where he is flawed in his lust for glory and not a typical perfect cartoon hero. i was happy to see the story play out when Beowulf is an old king and not just focus on his battle with Grendel, which is something I've never seen on film before only had read about. Great voice cast Ray Winstone as Beowulf, Angelina jolie, John malkovich, Anthony Hopins, and Crispin Glover. The sea creatures and dragon where amazing. not to mention Jolie, gotta give her props-I respect a woman who always will do a nude scene in her films-even if its a cartoon. Maybe that woulda helped A shark's tale-probably not. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

This movie was fantastic! The storyline was unpredictable since I am used to animated movies having a happy ending. Definitely not for the kids, though. This is an adult movie and I was surprised that it was rated PG13. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

As soon as I found out this movie is going to be shown in IMAX 3D - I knew I had to see it. I was absolutely amazing, and I am not very easy to please. My critical girlfriend and my 57-year-old father both loved it as well. Yes, it's different from the book, but the purpose of this movie is to deliver great entertainment and it does. I have never experienced anything like that and will probably go to see it again - something I have only done once before, when Gladiator rocked my world. I don't know if I would have liked it as much on a regular screen - this movie is heavily based on special effects, but the story is pretty solid too and there's lots of eye candy for both guys (naked Angelina can't go wrong) and for the girls (Beowulf is pretty much male perfection in the flesh). Overall - I can't imagine anybody regretting the ticket cost. Go to IMAX 3D if you want to experience the movie the way it's meant to be delivered. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?
