Beowulf!!!!

[shmiddy]

what do u guys think. the movie looks pretty freaking good! it was one of my fav books in highschool so im pretty exited. and it looks like it was filmed "300 style" so thats gonna be awsome!

[murda-c]

wasn't really filmed at all.


it's your imagination

[zomgdrft]

Hah, it's all CG bro...

But yes, looks fantastic, my wife and I will be seeing it opening night.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

didn't like the book, seemed to redundant of another epic that i reaad long ago, just forget which one. dont hope to see this at all. what do you think of movies about paperback heroes? what next?

[Grendel]

Looks great, can't wait :)

[mayco_86]

Yeah the movie looks good. We will see how it turns out to be when it comes out.

beowulf
paperback
:hahano:

[BustedS13]

any movie where angelina jolie does full frontal, cgi or not, is fine by me.

[BustedS13]

uh, most movies are based on books.

[azndoc]

Loved the book.

Just kinda wished it wasn't all cg and shit.

Looks okay though.

[DRavenS13]

There are other Beowulf movies that are not CG, but they were:zzz:

Beowulf & Grendel (2005) was actually a good interpretation of the original poem.

But yeah, there have been a few really horrible b-movies about the story. Hopefully this one coming up will be better, though.

[DRavenS13]

I just remember there was one that my English teacher made us watch back in 99.... I really was :zzz:

ha ha I second that, wackest book ever, but since Angelina's in the movie, I'm so there ! :cj:

[DRavenS13]

The book wasn't wack- it just takes reading it a few times to get it. I read it in high school, and I likedededed it.

true, I remember reading that and then the Iliad(sp)

[SHIFT_*grind*]

I was kinda excited about it during the first few seconds of the trailer, until I realized it was CG and everything started getting weird. The evil monster is Angelina Jolie's head? What the hell?

[EvilRB]

meh... love the book but i think the movie will suck at least for my tastes.
The CG just dosen't flow well in my eyes.

If they did it more of a 300 style with less obvious CG involved then I think it would have been better.

Yes, maybe, yes and yes. I was definitley hyped for a second when I saw the first screenshot, then I saw it was all CG and I was definitley dissapointed. Won't stop me from seeing it though.

[Dirty Habit]

Crispin fucking Glover!!

/no homo.

[hijack3d]

Hmm... was there ever a Beowulf video game? I thought I heard that somewhere...

Anyway... I actually want to see it because of the CG... Maybe on a Tuesday morning or something when it's only $5 a movie....

[ManoNegra]

neil gaiman ftw

Sandman, American Gods, etc. I'm a big fan of his writing. His movie projects on the other hand haven't really done him justice. Hoping this movie bucks the trend.

That was my original reaction but having seen the EPK it's growing on me now:

Not saying it looks amazing. Just not as bad as I originally anticipated.

[max2damax]

ill be watching it on IMAX 3D, should be pretty cool I guess.

[zomgdrft]

My wife and I saw the movie this afternoon in Real D (3D with the glasses) and it was FUCKING AWESOME.

I highly recommend anyone who's planning on seeing this film, see it in Real D, there is simply no other way to full enjoy this film.

:rawk:

[mad-ass]

i fell asleep, yeah..it was boring

[Dutchmalmiss]

Saw it and totally didn't expect it to be as good as it was. There are parts in the movie where you're just like "man, that's not CG." Sometimes it looks too real haha.

PS - ANGELINA JOLIE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd love to have her curse me anytime she wants.

[jfc3po]

^^^word.....

Hell yeah. IMAX FWT!

[articdragon192]

The og story was awesome. I read it in high school and instantly loved it. Awesomeness at it's greatest, if that makes sense, lol. Might watch the movie. I've been hearing mixed reviews.

[240sx_sr20det]

I'd rather just read it again. I don't think it was worth the $13 to see it in 3D at the IMAX. My girlfriend and I fell asleep and left 15 minutes early. I thought it was pretty boring. First Grendel scene was sketchy though, little kids we're screaming in the theater when Grendel busted through the door and started yelling. It was quite amusing. Overall 2/10 rating from me. Bleh.

[jeeper_x]

AWESOME CG and GOOD ACTION SCENE (Imax 3D)....the best 13 dollars i spent in theater in the last 3 months!!!

[ALTRNTV]

I like how the last two posts are completely opposite.

[bwake 5]

lol yeah talk about mixed reviews

"my young under age g/f was sleepy and needed to leave early" and "the screaming kids in the theater" are factors to a movie rating?....:loco:

[Matej]

It looks like a hardcore knockoff riding on 300's success, I can care less if it's all CG.

[max2damax]

we need to get a hold of the guy who did angelina jolie, and give him some money to do a different type of movie for us......mmm if you know what i mean... o yea movie was GRRREAT.

[eastcoastS14]

is this movie really any good?? It looks so horrible

[jackjack]

^thats what i'm thinking. hmmmm... either this or hitman this week.

[BustedS13]

Not everyone on this website is 12 years old. Learn some respect.

[Yuri]

I went last night to see it in 3D.
It was already sold out, hours ahead of time.
So I still haven't seen it yet. :P

[DRavenS13]

I saw it in 3D the other day, I wish I would have watched it on the imax, but all the shows were sold out.

I liked it, i thought it was better than the retarded Beowulf b-movies that I saw in high school.

Nothing is gonna be better than the book, but it was cool.

[Yuri]

The 13th warrior was alright.
That was a Beowulf movie.

[shmiddy]

Awsome Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
