So... what did people think?

It is not released here in Australia until 29 November. I can hardly wait!

I just saw it today. It was pretty good. Kinda slow-paced....not as much action as it looked like there would be, but still a good movie. The animation was excellent. Some characters, like pretty much ALL of the women looked completely fake, but others looked very real, like Anthony Hopkins' character. There were also a few scenes that it looked like the animators just got lazy. They literally looked less realistic than a Shrek movie. The action that there was was awesome. It was surprisingly gory, too. Overall, I'd say Beowulf deserves a 7/10.

...I can't believe people actually want to see this film.

Why is that so hard to believe?

I just hope they've done it justice? Shamus Heeney's translation of beowulf is excellent, i listened to it on audio book which he does himself, being a poet with a soft Irish accent makes it very enjoyable.

Just from the previews I saw it looked incredibly awful.

I just watched the trailer. It looks really...fake. I didn't realise the CGI was so prevalent. It made it look like a computer game. I still think I will see it.

Yup.

First three things I noticed that turned me off:

1 - Shoddy animation. I've seen game trailers from 2004 that blow this out of the water.

2 - It looks boring.

3 - Angelina Jolie's irritating attempt to sound like...umm...what is that accent? Czech? Whatever, it's the same stupid accent she used in Alexander.

And what's with Anthony Hopkins taking so many sh** roles lately? It's like he's trying to sink his career.
