Beowulf

Starring: Voices of Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Robin Wright-Penn, Angelina Jolie, Crispin Glover, Brendan Gleeson
Seen at: Home, Blu-ray

I've avoided watching this movie for a long time, because I expected it to be crummy. Saw the Blu-ray version in the shop shelves for cheap, though, and thought ... why not give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It may not be the most accurate depiction of the classic poem, but it definitely is more entertaining in CGI form.

The motion capturing still needs a bit of work, though. Most of the animation is well-done, but movement appears a bit stiff, and the facial expressions (especially eyes and mouth) seem unnatural.


Score: 7.5 out of 10
