Beowulf (2007)

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 10:39 am

Anyone else love this movie?
I watched it around a month Ago and I was blown away of How good it was!
Its script was amazingly done
"Keep A memory of me, not as a hero or king, But as A man, flawed and weak"
I was A fan of the poem since I was A kid and I was going to watch it, but my friend said it was utter trash.
I loved how they made Beowulf VERY Flawed as a character, They made him more realistic then in the Orignal poem, He wasant some Invincible Hero, He was just A flawed man.
Anyone else agree or disagree?

Stumbled upon the blu-ray cheap just a week ago and bought it on a whim even though I never seen it before or belived it to be particulary good. And my expectations came true, didn't really like the movie much and now consider trying to sell the blu-ray on Ebay :P

Report the thread and ask for a name change. Preferably to Beowulf (2007). Movie is kinda redundant, and doesn't belong in the parenthesis. Never watched the movie by the way, but is that the one with the CGI-nvde Angelina Jolie?

The only thing good about the movie IMO was the fact that Crispin Glover did the noises for Grendel.

Does classic Novella count :) If so "At the mountains of madness" By H.p Lovecraft, Or If Epic poems count as classic novels it would be "Divine Comedy" By Dante Alighieri.
