Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It's a superb action flick that will have you wide-eyed in awe at its effects; just don't go expecting any kind of literary discussion.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Beowulf is a well conceived and technically excellent rendition of the ancient legend, but it doesn't follow its ideas through all the way, and some strange choices on the part of Zemeckis ultimately make it a little less than the sum of its parts.

700 A.D. is now 21st Century American 3-D. It's a hell of a transformation. The 3-D version of Beowulf -- the one you must see if you see the film -- is a wild roller coaster ride.

...the initially impressive visuals are ultimately negated by the annoyance of the technology.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

A worthy cinematic adaptation, with interesting and provocative mythic ideas of its own, and suprisingly lyrical images to match. [Blu-Ray]

The bane of English majors for 1,300 years makes it back to the big screen, now with 75 percent more hostility toward Christianity!

Throw on your 3-D glasses and prepare to have your mind blown away.

Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf is so rousingly entertaining that you'll feel guilty for not reading the epic poem all the way through when you were in ninth grade.

So much is right about Beowulf that one longs for the darker, grimier version that might have been in live action.

This is not the future of films, but it is a future, especially for the action genre.

No doubt C.B. DeMille, another director with a knack for turning Hollywood stars into robots, would have been entranced.

Those who remember the 3000 line epic from 8th grade English will be pleasantly surprised to learn they've scrapped the original plot altogether.

And one more bonus, the technology almost convinces us Angelina Jolie can act. Revolutionary, indeed.

If we must have mead halls, let them be populated by rogues like John Malkovich.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/6

... a real-life Dungeons & Dragons story brought to life... While not quite as epic as 300, it's still one hell of a good ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/4.0

A feast of imagery coupled with magnificent drama, a rare cinematic marriage that is destined for box office gold and deservedly so.

The 3-D effects are relatively tasteful, and the visuals often stunning.
