Beowulf review
I can honestly say that Beowulf was almost exactly as I thought it was going to be.
Beowulf has always been a difficult story to translate onto the screen; and that difficulty was manifested in many ways.
I was worried about another completely CG movie; and CG still has problems as the technology continues to advance.
I was concerned that Angelina Jolie would bring nothing but nudity to her role; and I was really, really right.
In short, I had lots of concerns and I was right on every case. The only huge surprise in the movie was the amount of dudity. You know, dude nudity. First we get Anthony Hopkins’ pale white butt (in 3D), then we get an “Austin Powers”-inspired bit of “let’s always keep something in front of Beowulf’s junk”.
I’m glad I saw it in theaters, probably won’t buy the DVD.
