New movie: Beowulf
hey everyone! I saw the trailer on tv and this movie looks awesome. well, awesome movie-wise, but it definitely looks like it takes a lot of artistic license, who knows how close it is to the actual story, but I guess there are variations in many different beowulf stories. well, here's the trailer, which looks amazing.

Parts of it are, and some parts are not. I am not liking it that much. Is there really need for nudity? I think not.

Hmm, a scantilly clad Angelina Jolie in a hack and slash film? What's not to love?
But seriously, I am pretty excited to see this when it comes out.

Nothing like a good hack and slash for the palate. It will be iteresting to see this movie's take on an old classic.MacFarlane wrote:Hmm, a scantilly clad Angelina Jolie in a hack and slash film? What's not to love?

Why would a water dwelling supernatural being wear a dress?
I wouldn't compare it to 300, due to Beowulf's lack of political elements such as an "evil mid-east empire conquering the world".Sir Kohran wrote:Looks very similar to 300. Hoping it'll be somewhat better than that.

Besides, this is a remake of the Beowulf tale, rather than a comic book style version of The 300 Spartans.

I loved 300, as did every friend I took to the movie (be they North/South American, Asian, or European; male or female), so I'm not convinced it's trash
But this looks like something completely different to me. A bit of battle and a bit of character relationship/etc.
I don't mind if it's not fitting to the original story, I don't hold Hollywood to historical accuracy... I am looking to watch it and enjoy it - which it seems I will do!
Can't wait~

Cool!Well the best part of it is that the movie is filmed in Iceland. my home country
Can't wait~

I can't see spending a small fortune on CGI only to make the film look... like plastic? Seriously, everything (and everyone) looks like they are covered in gel.

Almost every movie from 14A and up has at least a bit. It sells.Prince Imdol wrote:Parts of it are, and some parts are not. I am not liking it that much. Is there really need for nudity? I think not.

I'm not really that excited, I don't think I will see it in theaters unless it does very well in the box office. Looks like a renting movie to me.
wrap me in a bolt of lightning,
send me on my way still smiling,
maybe that's the way i should go:

Yes, the fact that it's animated upsets me too. Thanks for answering the question i hadn't asked yet: that it is animated. That is just plain retarded there is no need for it to be animated period, yet partially...
They are ruining movies these days; they have to get back to non-animated movies or i'll be sick!

yeah I agree the, the animation really bugs me. I haven't seen it yet, but I've watched a lot of trailers and previews, and in one they said how the scenes were filmed with real people, and then done over in cgi, so really, the movie could've been real..but no....i dunno...the cgi'ness of it really takes all the real emotion out of the characters...
