Daniel B @RT29533783 Jul 25 It's a great movie in way, I truly think the cast did a true triple-A performance, but the obvious flaw is the animation. It's not that the movie is simply limited by the technology of the time, it's the choice of style, it's almost like Shrek-noir and at its best is real enough you see the actor behind the character. In many ways it feels like cut scenes from a video game stitched together. Overall story is compelling and deviates from the original story only so much as to satisfy a modern audience. See more I. L @Inigolazarus May 29 The first scene was very atmospheric with some beautiful shots from Zemeckis. But after the first act I began to lose interest. It felt a bit like the result of the Word by Word Story game where three writers wrote three different acts to the same film and cobbled them together. I get that they were taking inspiration from the poem, but I wonder if it would have been better if The’d focused more on Grendel and his mother and built that storyline into an even deeper richer plot rather than trying to cram all tales in at once. A lot of people really don’t like Zemeckis CGI animation, but I think it works for stories like this and A Christmas Carol, it also allows for a diversity of actors. Ray Winstone as Beowulf for example. In live action, an actor is entirely limited by their age, height, and physical build. Performance capture is the ultimate equalizer for acting. It allows a 50-year-old, stocky British actor to play a young, ripped Viking warrior. Overall, a decent film.

Well done on everyone involved, fabulous storytelling. Ok not historically accurate but who gives a fig? It's stunning, gripping and marvellous cinema.
