Beowulf (2007)

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!

The story contains plenty of action and great-looking graphics, but it hasn't much heart.

At one point Beowulf climbs through the bulging eyeball of a sea monster with all the nonchalance of getting out of bed. Respect is due.

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.

Robert Zemeckis' take on Beowulf is a marvel visually but eye-popping effects are still no challenge for good old-fashioned human emotion.

At the end of it all, if you take away the violence, the defiantly in-your-face nudity, and Angelina Jolie, you will find very little story underneath.

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

While the film's mission to enrapture teenage boys (and other fans of grand adventure) is accomplished, I'd have to suggest to Mr. Zemeckis that it may be time to abandon this form of animation.

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

It's a bland and lethargic piece of Hollywood tripe that not even the presence of Ray Winstone could salvage...

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.

... 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.

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

Hay algo en los ojos de un ser humano que a mi criterio es imposible de replicar. Pero la pasaremos excelente en el cine mientras personas como Zemeckis sigan intentándolo.

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