Acalis Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I just got done seeing Beowulf in the theaters. They have 2 versions: the regular theatrical release, and a version in digital 3D. I recommend you see it in 3D!!! Trust me it will be worth it! As for the movie itself, the best way I can describe it is imagine a cross between Lord of the Rings and Shrek, but with a 300 feel to it. It is computer animated, but with real actors, kinda like Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow. And Angelina Jolie looks HOTTTTT in this movie! So I definitely recommend it.

Lycaon Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm looking forward to this. Especially with Neil Gaiman as one of the screenwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I saw it Friday on a regular screen. I enjoyed the writing and performances, etc enough to watch it a second time on Imax 3-D. Acalis, what's the closest Imax Screen playing it for Miamians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 It is computer animated, but with real actors, kinda like Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow. Actually, believe it or not, the actors are cg too. So it's more like The Polar Express or Final Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acalis, what's the closest Imax Screen playing it for Miamians? Well the closest Imax I know of is over at Sunset Place. But the regular theaters are showing the 3D version as well. I saw the 3D version at Dolphin Mall believe it or not. You buy the tickets and then they give you the glasses right there at the ticket booth.

Aartemys Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Acalis, the IMAX @ Sunset Place has been closed for a long time...maybe even years. I went to the IMAX website, though & it's playing in Ft. Lauderdale which isn't too bad. (The Chancellor & I had contemplated driving to Tampa to see 300)...

archangel Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I just came back from it. You've got to watch it in 3d: it was so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Actually, believe it or not, the actors are cg too. So it's more like The Polar Express or Final Fantasy. I'm not sure if Acalis was convinced that the CG actors were real, or just simply thought that Jude Law wasn't convincing enough in Sky Captain, but just in case there's any doubt in the matter, here's Ray Winstone in Beowulf: Ray Winstone in real life and (the excellent) Sexy Beast.

Reverend Jax Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I need more evidence. Can you do a side by side comparison of Angelina Jolie's character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 No damn you, if you want wank material you're either going to have to find your own, use your imagination or refer back to my previous post on Ray Winstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times I thought it was Sean Bean playing Beowulf. And I am not the only one who thought so. Check out the Beowulf threads on imdb.com and you will see a lot of people thought so too.

crimsonfire Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Ray Winstone was fucking terrible in that movie. "Oim 'ere ta kill your monsta'!" Apart from the mind bogglingly good CG and some decent action sequences (and angelina looking incredibly tasty) i thought it was quite shit. Although Grendel has to be the creepiest fucking monster ive seen in a movie for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I loved this movie! It's bought on DVD! Beowulf's no Leonidas, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Ben & I saw this on Saturday. We liked it. Me, having read the original story in HS liked the adaptation...I'm sure Ben liked it for Angelina, lol...anyhoo...the CG kicked butt and I agree with Crim...Grendel was creepy...<shudder> Nope, nothing compares to Leonidas...

Lycaon Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Not me. I enjoyed it (and I love mythology). Anyone else see the 3d Coraline trailer when they saw this movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Was I the only one during the Grendal fight scene who was laughing my ass off at the creative ways they were finding to hide Beowulf's man tackle? It was reminiscent of the end of Austin Powers and equally ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 During that scene I was wondering...did they actually render his man-jibblets only to hide them, or did they just make him a Ken doll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterasta Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Well, the middle-schooler sitting behind me was quick to submit his review of "gay", but I found it to be not only brashly heterosexual but well written and beautifully animated. During that scene I was wondering...did they actually render his man-jibblets only to hide them, or did they just make him a Ken doll?One of those questions where you'll lose sleep over it either way.

I saw the 3D version, and I remember several 3D trailers, didn't know if one was Coraline, but I did remember one for Journey To The Center Of The Earth with Brendan Fraser, or something like that.
