Review of Beowulf
November 18th, 2007
“If you go to see one movie this week: see American Gangster. If you go to see two movies: see Beowulf.“
I was a bit concerned about the animation… the characters looked straight out of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion. My doubts were silenced as soon as Grendel arrived on the scene. Monsters are often described as “foul” in books, but rarely live up to that billing on screen. Grendel is one of the exceptions. Great atmosphere throughout, and it is funny to see the unmistakable features of Anthony Hopkins and Brendan Gleeson on CGI characters.

I thought it looked just like Oblivion too. Seeing it in 3D might have been impressive, but as it was I didn’t like it so much.
