Worth watching, especially in 3D. Boat scene, too. Angelina Jolie
has to
have the nicest rack on the face of the earth. Movie approximates the
story in some parts, not in others. If you get to a 3D viewing, sit in
the center of the row of center seats, not on the side.
Most reviewers are panning it like there's no tomorrow.
And for the record, Angelina Jolie is a pig.
Never understood the attraction.
Yeah, sure. Like you've ever had anything that hot.
She is. Fake boobs, liver lips, her nose is too sharp, her eyes are
too close together and she can't act her way out of a parking ticket.
The only reason she is where she is is because she is Jon Voight
daughter.
I think AJ is attractive, but I would never pay money or waste my time
watching a bad CG movie just to catch a glimpse of her boobies.
It rated a 70 on rotten tomatoes, I don't waste my time on movies that
rate less than an 85 on rotten tomatoes. While it got a 70 from
critics, even the users only rated it at 71. It seems if you like CG or
AJ's tits, it is very popular.
"For all its visual sweep and propulsively violent action, this
bloodthirsty rendition of the Old English epic can't overcome the
disadvantage of being enacted by digital waxworks rather than
flesh-and-blood Danes and demons."
Variety
"Heads roll, arteries gush and spleens spill across the IMAX screen in
Beowulf, just as you'd expect in a screen adaptation of the oldest
surviving epic poem in the English language."
"I say the story works, but I wish they'd teach these avatars to act."
Once again, I saw the movie in 3D...and it was the first 3D movie I had
seen since House of Wax. The 3D made it visually interesting to me.
