Alk Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Okay, seriously. How could they take such a great story and then pair it up with some crappy animation. I felt like I was watching a rated R version of Shrek. Could Grendel have been anymore lame? This needed to be live action. I was totally disappointed. They followed the story pretty well but damn.

L.S. Dylan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 To be honest, it looked exactly how you described it.. like crap. I want to see Semi Pro and I know you do too Alk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, Will Ferrell is horrible. I'd never pay to see one of his movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 To be honest, it looked exactly how you described it.. like crap. I want to see Semi Pro and I know you do too Alk. I agree with both of you on Beowulf. Outside of Angelina Jolie, who's just plain hot no matter what configuration she is, the movie was crap. Luckily I watched it as a Netflick so the cost was minimum. Gotta disagree on Semi Pro. Looks to me like another lame, non funny Will Ferrell flick. Sorry Alk.

Yeah it's been getting bad reviews but I'm going to see it anyway, what the hell, but I am not going in with great expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Haven't seen Beowulf yet. I was hoping it would be good, but all the reviews have been pretty much like Alk's. I'll watch it when it hits HBO. As for Semi-Pro, how many times is that idiot Ferrell going to make the same bad movie by inserting a different sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Beowulf was borderline silly,, such obvious animated body scenes and WAY over the top gore.. Semi-pro getting such bad reviews I will probably wait for TV on that one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Uh oh, based on what everyone in this thread is saying, I shouldn't have rented Beowulf. I am going to watch it later today. I also watched 30 Days of Night, and I enjoyed that. Plenty of vampires, gore, and blood. A perfect combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze0214 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I also watched 30 Days of Night, and I enjoyed that. Plenty of vampires, gore, and blood. A perfect combination. 30 days of night is a pretty crazy flick. I love how they keep you in suspense the whole movie, and how you never knew who was going to survive and who was going to eat it. I didn't expect that ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The book made me want to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The book made me want to die. And why is that? I liked the book, and also Grendel. But I've never seen Beowulf:The Movie. I noticed there is another low-budget movie called Beowulf or Grendel out there that seems to more accurately portray everything. There is a trailer of it on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, if you can wait 20 minutes to see what trailers you can watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I seen some plays of Beowulf but never the movie, the plays were pretty interesting tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I don't know why they didn't just go the live actor route on this one, period. What was really the point? And if not, then make it truly animated. Now I know '300' was somewhat of a computer whatever combo, but it had been completely computerized or whatever, I probably would have hated it. And '300' killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetheelz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 That looks good. The guy that says "No God" looks nuts. He is nuts...he is the leader of the vampires that invade the town. If you enjoy vampire films with alot of gore, blood, and violence...its definately worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Division Marduk Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Haven't seen it yet. I didn't understand why they bothered with the animation thing - unless they wanted to make Ray Winstone look 40 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tparich Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I saw the movie and thought the same thing with the animation. my friend saw it in the theater though in 3D and said that it was amazing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacemanSpiff_NF Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 How was the animation compared to Final Fantasy? The movie blew but the animation in it was mindboggling....There were several scenes that looked so real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 A few years ago during Junior year of High School, Beowoulf was the worst story ever to read. Horrible. Boring. Blah I hate made up BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I saw this months ago, at first I thought someone must have bumped an old thread but I guess you guys mean the DVD or something. You really need to see this thing on a big movie screen. The whole thing isn't designed to be taken seriously. I actually found it funny, and I considered it a very enjoyable movie. I mean it's just so obviously not supposed to be a serious film, it's almost like a satire or a parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they would be trying to make fun of one of the great stories and be so subtle about it. It just seemed to me that they were trying to follow the story as closely at possible but throw some humor in to attract some of the younger generation. Whatever it was it sucked. WTF was up with the Austin Powers like scene in the mead hall where Beowulf was running around buck naked with his meat dagger being covered up with random objects? Was that really necessary?
