Beowulf

By Sandor Hugert

 

This was one of the weirdest movies I’ve seen in a while.  Beowulf had a very good story line, but that’s basically all it had going for it.  The movie really would have been way better if they didn’t make the whole movie digital.  If they had made it a normal movie such as 300 or Troy then it would have been way more enjoyable.  The whole video game look to the movie just ruined it, although I personally really wish that video games had graphics that looked like the movie.  The action scenes in the movie were cool, but they took some of the parts too far.  They tried to explain everything very well in the first half of the movie which made it really boring, but then when the movie just cuts forward like 20 or 30 years then it just tries to wrap it all up really quick which didn’t make much since.  The movie should have showed more closely how Beowulf really loses everything once he’s a king due to all of the characteristics that he holds, but instead they just wrapped up the movie so quickly in the end.  I was really expecting a better movie than this, but in the end when I look back on the movie it wasn’t too horrible.

 

Score:  6 out of 10
