Beowulf
|
I'm actually kind of afraid to go see it. On one hand, it's done by one of my favourite authors. On the other...I HATE the way they made it all...fake looking. :/
I WILL watch it, I know that...I'm just sort of afraid to! |

Oh, no...I'm not afraid to watch it because I think it will be scary. I'm afraid to watch it because it looks really...cheesy? the way it's put together. And I don't want to think bad about my favourite author. Also, I don't know what to expect with the plot line. When I saw the first trailer for it a few months ago, I said, "Wow, that looks like a really stupid movie! They completely destroyed Beowulf." But then I found out that the whole thing was written and half produced by Neil Gaiman...so, in some ways I feel like I'm beholden to watch it because of him...but I'm still afraid it's going to be an awful movie.
Whew, rambling. :P |
My parents want to see the movie, buuuut, I don't really like nudity. It still looks like a good movie none the less.

Is that all? O:
Okay, that's good. xD |
From the trailer, It looks like it's trying to be like 300...especially when he says 'I am Beowulf!', sounded a lot like 'this is Sparta!', doncha think?
|
Yeah, it was a little like "300" in that respect, lol XD
It was definitely a groundbreaking film with the whole idea of CGI done over everything, including the actors. And, as such, it had its flaws. I just hope that it'll turn out to be successful enough that other filmmakers will try the same method again and refine it in the process; I really think they're onto something. Between the gore and the nudity, I was surprised it only managed to get off with a PG-13 rating. I think it was easily as violent as "300", and the computer graphics were definitely quite graphic. And there was some nudity, but I will point out that Beowulf did not even appear to have his wobbly bits rendered. There are buttcheeks, but a bit more than cleavage - they made Jolie look pretty naked. Go in and expect an R-type movie, I'd say ^^; |

|
I really want to go see that movie.
@[email protected]<3 Although it did look fake,kind of during the previews. Actually horribly fake. Like "good graphic video game but you can tell it's fake" kinda way. .-. I actually thought it was a game for the new PS3 when I first saw the preview. xD Then I sat there at the end like "ohhhhh". :B Gore and Nudity don't really restrain me o____< I'm looking forward to seeing it. |

I'm going to be the odd one out here: I saw it, and I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I think Mr Gaiman however was the only person who could have twisted the original Beowulf in that fashion and had me enjoy it as much as I did. I think the CG was quite good overall, save for the main female lead, who kind of annoyed me anyway...and well...
Maybe I'm kinda Biased but I don't find it too much of a stretch to cast Ms "Fishlips" Jolie as an nymphomaniac monster. I am a fan of the original story, I've read it for fun and for class so I'm not just saying I liked it just because I didn't 'know any better'. I just...enjoyed it. And personally, got a huge laugh out of the convenient Beowulf blocking objects for his nude scene. :twisted: I do admit I was very leery based on the previews, but I wasn't particularly disapointed. Although if you want to see a -really- gouge-your-eyes-out bad version of Beowulf, there's one filmed some time ago by the guy who played Connor MacLeod from Highlander. That was one atrociously bad piece of film. |
It sounds pretty interesting, I might go see it but I rarely have time to go to the movies and never rent them so the chances are actually fairly slim.
|
i would like to see it. it looks neat
but kind of pitiful |
It looks interesting, I might go check it out.

Amazing film and yes it is flawed but hell better then most realistic CGI films to date. Polar Express I will not account because it was more rotoscoped then taking the time to refine the animation. This film however went beyond just tracing the people, put giving them a complete transformation. Still it is a very hard thing to do but at least the people had character and the story had substance. I really enjoyed it.
|
My mom and I want to see if due to it was animated by the group who did Polar express, yeah that is still is a hard to think thing for me and it still floors me.
