Review of Beowulf (2007) by Stevez — 17 Nov 2007

Beowulf is a highly enjoyable action packed thrilling theme park ride. It was the funnest experience at the movies I ever had. The entire film was in 3-D and it was just fun, a lot of fun. It was really like a ride, I can't stress that enough.

Spears coming at you, dragons breathing a you, etc. It was full of those kind of things. And this is obviously starting a push for 3-D, seeing as all the previews were for future entire-3D (come out at you) movies.

The 3D was awesome, but behind what is the film behind it? If not in 3D it would have probally gotten a c-something from me. The story, although based on a classic, is for the most part one dimensonal.

There's a few things that get you thinking, but that was not the point- it's obviously tough strong good guy vs. Bad guy. Or more correctly, -bda-girl. Bad, bad girl. Angelina Jolie, is naked, even though there's just a little gold.

And Beowulf is naked for a large protion too. But what's the problem- there isn't. It's just amazing how many sex jokes were snuck into this pg-13 movie. Brilliant animation abounding, it was a thrill ride.

But the characters wern't too lively-, it was like seeing the people in shrek, they showed no emotion. That's not to say the movie's not good. If enjoyed as a 3d- ride through a stylized epic- it is.

But a non 3d, shallow, low-story film would only be other wise. Solidity echoes throught this niqe film that can't be missed.
