No, I thought it was pretty scary. ;-;
Well, not the kind of scary that would make me have bad dreams for a month or anything, but with it being 3-D, and with some of the more suspenseful scenes, I'd get really freaked out sometimes. But that's probably just cause I'm a crybaby. :(

But the only part I really thought was funny, was when Beowolf said "I've come to taste some of your husbands delicious meat"(I was NOT the only one who laughed at that). And the naked fighting, with the strategically placed objects. So ok, I guess it was sort of funny.

The movie was awful, in my opinion. D:

I love the poem though. It's one piece of literature that regardless of how many times I've read it, it never gets old AND I always find something new. ^__^

How was it awful. You know it was based on the Neil Gaiman version and not the original Beowulf right? I guess people forget that.

The animation was kind of amazing for being a style that has its imperfections. It is hard to do such a thing in limited time and not have flaws.

Lol. I don't think there can be a sequel... it's based off an ancient story.
I recently read part of Beowulf in English at school.
It wasn't horrible, but it was kind of hard to understand until you could understand the pattern.
It's an interesting story though.

I know it was based off of the Neil Gaiman version, and that's one of the main things that leaves me unimpressed. The original is much better, to me, and Beowulf didn't need re-working in any fashion. Talk about re-writing a classic.

And to make myself sound like a total pessimist, the CGI was boring. Give me real actors with CGI special-effects any day, but if I wanted to go see a CGI cartoon, I'd watch Reboot. c_c;;

To each their own!

I first heard about the movie over the summer through a promo cardboard cutout. I kind of stared at it, muttered that they need to stop making movies out of what people should read and stormed off. XD Although I haven't seen it, the trailers did scream way too much CGI, but I guess I really can't judge it until I've seen it. :x

(But darnit, now I wanna watch Reboot, Mousey.)

Nudity eh..Now I see why my hubby wanted to go see it... lol jk I don't care about that kinda of thing. I like the style of it, it's like cartoonish realism.

I haven't gone to see it yet but it's one of the ones we were thinking about.
