A great Robert Zemeckis movie about a giant asshole who saves some other assholes from a monster who looks like a sensitive teenager and his hot mom. It has a script which makes sense of an uninteresting epic, and justifies digitial filmmaking by doing amazing things with the camera.

It was ok, don't think it can hold a candle to Sturla Gunnarsson's "Beowulf & Grendel" though.

some fantastic animation, complemented by a great story (no doubt because it's so good it's been around for more than 1,000 years) and i suppose it helps that gaiman and avary had a hand in this.

As a film alone, Beowulf accomplishes the feat of being an above average fantasy flick that never feels quite as epic as it should be. The story changes to the poem, however, feel quite welcome and add a depth that probably wouldn't exist in a straight adaptation. As an action ride in digital 3D IMAX, Beowulf provides a revolutionary experience. The 3D is utilized in every shot, and the film completely engrosses the viewer in its world. Unlike previous 3D experiences, Beowulf's is no gimmick.

My score would be lower if I had not watched it in 3-D @ I-MAX.

All style, no substance. Even the style is not that great. Some action scenes are cool.

Storywise, it's pretty much just 'okay', nothing terribly exciting. On a technical level, it's very hit-and-miss; sometimes, you could easily be forgiven for mistaking the movie for a live-action one, and other times things seem unnatural and strangely wooden. Also, up here in frozen Canada, it's only PG - and nobody can quite figure out how that happened as it seems well beyond that rating.

I heard more chuckles in the audience than I expected to walking into a movie like this. Other than the multitude of creative ways the director found for objects to cover-up Beowulf's cock, this film was pretty damn dull. And the CGI was just a pointless gimmick that made the characters look more creepy if anything.

terrible movie. ruined a great story and delivers trash.

if they waited ten years for technology to evolve, why don't wait another ten until they could do something really good with it?

I thought that the first half was much better than the second. In fact, the first 20 minutes blew me away. People are being far too critical of this movie in my opinion. Maybe it was because I didn't expect much from this but I thought it was really good.

I love fantasy in all its forms, but it seems like this movie is some kind of lightning rod for movie snobs. Take that!

They were so concerned about the (pointless) CGI that they forgot about some other elements of the movie, like script.

great animation film. one of a kind

If I hadn't watched this in 3D, my score would have been very low...

I liked it. Sue me. Albeit, without the 3-D, it was less entertaining. Still, it was watchable.

Didn't like the CGI very much, should have been done differently, it frankly ruined the film for me.

Full of camp (and the CG only adds to it), totally needless Matrix-esque moments, but somehow I ended up really charmed. I guess it's a classic story

It does look like you're watching a computer game and some of the dialogue is a little weak but overall it's entertaining.

A darkly funny fantasy adventure which, while taking a bit of an axe to the original saga, says some interesting things about power and corruption in the process. Not that anyone noticed.
