Beowulf


An Epic tale about a hero and his unbelievable feats and accomplishments that was unfortunately not good enough on its own for Hollywood. Changes were made to flesh out a two-hour movie, and the revised story does not work well and leaves the audience without any reason to care.

Beowulf did not translate well in the animated medium even with the use of live action actors. The acting left much to be desired, but acting in front of a blue screen is never ideal. The CGI on the backdrop shots was excellent, but that was the only bright spot (except the rolling credits).

You’ve been warned.
