Just got back from seeing Beowulf 3D IMAX.
I know there are some kick ass movies, but I think the final fight seen was one of the manliest things I’ve ever seen.
Plus he yells his own name about 47 times. That’s a definate sign he’s manly. I’ve tried, but yelling “JON!” just isn’t manly unfortunately.
I was thinking of watching this, is it actually any good? I just watched a trailer and it looks too cartoonish, is the whole movie like that?
Manlier than 300? come on now. 300 was like beowulfx300. Each spartan is as bad ass as one beowulf I’d say.
“THIS IS… CAKETOWN!!!”

Rome is the manliest Tv show that is all.
Nah, TROY was the manliest…lol
Just saw it. Worst movie of the year for me.
Cartoons aren’t manly.

That was my big turn off…
I was a little disappointed. It was a little cartoonish and the ending confused me. I thought the story ended differently, but its been a while since I read the book.
As far as manliness goes…I’m not the best judge, but it did have a kinda big, strong guy, fight scenes, and angelina jolie

Angelina is smokin’. Maybe not so much in a cartoon format though. I didn’t see the movie but I read the story and I’m pretty sure Beowulf dies. Does he die in the movie?
On another note, you are pretty damn sexy yourself, how you doin?

X2…
I just couldn’t get into it. It was cool, but they should have done half and half like lord of rings style or king kong. It just didn’t have the same emotional pull as a movie with real actors. 
I like movies with lots of gratuitous violence and conflict.
i dont understand at all the negative bias against non-live action movies
Beowulf Totally Sucked! Not quite as bad as Hitman but damn!
The animation was awful. You know what my hatred of non-live-action movies is? The characters look like goddamn pod people. It’s perverse and strange and wildly inhuman.
Sure, you might say “Go Fuck yourself! The animation kicked ass! Did you see how shiny Angelina was?” First off, don’t go getting yourself turned on by a cartoon of a woman whose REALLY naked in a handful of much better movies than this one. Second, the Animation did, in fact, suck. It looks like a programmer forgot to bump-map some of the buckles on some of the soldiers gear in some scenes. I don’t want to watch a video game. I want to see blood.
And Hollywood totally changed the storyline. What’s this bullshit with Grendel’s mother?
And why would Beowulf be King of some shitty town in Iceland when he can, and does in the real book, go back home to become ruler of a much more badass and larger kingdom on the mainland?
Finally, Grendel sucked. He looked far too funny.
And Beowulf taking of his clothes, not his armor, but all his clothes, to fight Grendel was really super GHEY. Don’t tell me that Beowulf went commando under his armor and that this made sense. If you adventured around the Arctic circle all the goddamn time with nothing but cold steel touching your boys and no cloth to keep you warm then your dick would defiantly fall off.
And if movie Beowulf were as BADASS as book Beowulf he would have ripped Grendel’s arm off without the leverage aid of a door and a chain. He would have just yanked it out!
It was only enjoyable for me since it was in 3d and Imax If I saw it normally I would have not found anything I liked about it.

good review…movie was ghey and the austin power dick things was overplayed and stupid.
I also couldn’t relate to Bewulf cus he was a tool who went around yelling out his own name.
Grendel looked so stupid, who designed that character. looked way to cartoonish and wasn’t realistic at all, something you would need in a non-live action movie to begin with to make the character believable. ending was stupid, plot was stupid and the animation was disappointing. Final fantasty animation was just as good and that was years ago.
I thought it was shit
I am a big fan of Ray Winstone but i just thought he didnt suit the role Sean Bean would have been better cause he kinda looked like Beowulf aswell

I seriously doubt it.
Ehh… As someone who hasnt read the OG story (which I hear is better at some points and not as good at others) I enjoyed myself for 90 minutes. The Imax 3d is truly spectacular as well, added to the movie greatly.
Didn’t see it, but I thought it looked pretty gay. Most the reviews for it were pretty bad also.
And on a small side note, cartoons, animation, and comics kick ass.
