Movie Reviews of Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)

Movie Review: Beowulf CGI supreme
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best Computer Animation I have seen to date, not only is it a great story it is well done and the CGI is without a doubt the best yet put on screen.

Movie Review: Classic tale, classic animation
Summary: 4 Stars

Beowulf is certainly a landmark in animation movies. The animators have succeeded in a near perfect resemblance to not only the way the leading actors look but talk and act also. Now that was something. Another landmark aspect was the use of motion capture which is not new and a similar technique was used in The Polar Express but Beowulf takes it one step further. Some of the incredible action scenes are almost impossible to create without computer animation. The colors used in Beowulf were good too. Apart from the technology here is an animation movie for adults. This is certainly not a 3D movie for kids as there is violence, blood and gore in good measure. There is some nudity too. Somewhere after the half of the movie the plot gives away after Beowulf's meets with the monster's mother, Angelina Jolie who is animated to sheer brilliance, and you get a feeling that the story is almost over and by the time more action is seen our hero has turned an old man.

The soft acoustic songs the queen sings are lovely and I wish I could get longer versions of the same.

Four stars.

Movie Review: DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Good movie and good price, I only buy used DVDs now and save up to 50% of the cost. Will shop again and would recommend to anyone.

Movie Review: Beowulf; violent but artfully done
Summary: 4 Stars

The unrated version of Beowulf is more graphic than the theatrical release but it is the same story. The artwork is astounding and it is easy to forgot that these are not live actors you are watching. The story is well done too. It might be a fun game though to count how many times the hero declares himself "Beowulf".
