DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I got tickets to see a special 3D showing on Tuesday and I can say that it was pretty freakin' awesome. Seeing it without the 3D may make it lose some luster but the film as a whole is really good. I love the original epic poem and cringed when I saw what they did to Grendel's mother, but surprisingly it worked very well. Of course there is a different spin on the story that actually works and doesn't completely destroy the outline of the original. It takes a God of War (the game) style of following the story. The CG is so fantastic sometimes you forget that its not real. Anyways I recommend it to fans of the story and anyone thats into a good fantastical action flick. Its not a kids film.

Kelene 268 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 I'm intrigued with the commercials that I've seen so far. Though I will most likely have to wait until it comes out on video to see it; don't get out too often without kids. Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Hiryu 2,704 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Eh, I wasn't overly impressed with the trailers I've seen but I might end up going to see it. I love the original epic so I'm a little weary of seeing yet another take on it but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 I haven't played the game, but I'll watch it as a neutral observer for what the story is and give my report. Theirs a game, Wow? The movie is based off the classic book. The book is amazing. I hope the movie is as good as the book but I have a feeling it wont be. In either case its still gonna be interesting to see.

HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 It was a book? I thought the story of Beowulf was based off a poem.

I had to read the book in college. It gets extremely confusing at some parts but the story is amazing. Quote All hail piggy, king of bacon ^)^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Myk JL 1,731 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Beowulf is a good movie. The only problem I think it had was it's kind of short. Quote Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 It was a book? I thought the story of Beowulf was based off a poem. Epic Poems are just about as big as a book.

HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 OMG! It was awesome! :happy:It was kinda like watching the animation to a Playstation 3 game, but the detail was amazing! The best part about it is AMC has a deal that if you go any Friday Saturday or Sunday before noon, tickets are $5.00 (Adult admissions). Sweet.

EVA-01 1,796 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Wow, someone actually thought it was good? DX is the only one I've heard who has said it was awesome, out of the 30 or so people I've heard. Pretty much everyone said the only cool part was the ending when he fights the "monstuh." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Go back and ask how many of them read the original text... I haven't seen anyone in this post that said it sucked yet, and everyone I have discussed it with, who also read the epic poem, were pleasantly surprised. There is only 3 ways you could really think this film was crap. 1. You hated the original story, and for some reason you were stupid enough to go see it anyways. 2. You loved the original story and are ultra-purist, hating the twist they threw into the story. 3. You expected to see a mindless film of blood and guts with no real story with a bunch of large "monstuhs" that have nothing in common with each other and really don't make a whole lot of sense besides the fact that they are there to be killed, however nothing really is accomplished by their deaths. Like I said, I haven't met a person that hated it yet. Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, my older English teacher that had us read Lord of the rings, hated the movie. I haven't seen Beowulf yet since my friend pussed out and wanted to play assassins creed all night .
