A perfect blend of action and comedy...thoughtful re-telling of the ancient epic, making it more `human` in scope and understanding. Breathtaking scenery added to the authentic `feel`; the musical score was beautiful and the acting was top-notch.
Beautifully filmed. I failed to find all the profanity that I read about previous to seeing the film. Well acted and does make you think.
Suneagle`s Review:****1/2 Stars WOW This movie could of been 5 stars if they had better sword play and more of it That said this movie was AMAZING!Gerald Butler WOW he looks and acts Really Good!They should for the Future Pick him for a Jesus Role,Gerald over all is good in every thing he does.The locations are real no blue screen here and the Speach and Clothes too very Realistic.It was great to see the old style filming back in action.Just keep watching the movie you might find it hard to get used to in the beggening cuz it`s not clean and flashy like Troy or Gladiator athough those movies were Amazing but this brings a Great Real Feel to i
Wonderful Movie, good action!
love the story
Although some people might have found it boring, I didn`t think so. I saw it over 9 times and this is an unusual thing for me, even for a Gerard Butler`s movie. I thought the landscapes were breathtaking, the actors did a superb job, especially Gerard Butler who always try to give 200% instead of just 100%, his Beowulf is a very compassionate, courageous warrior who senses almost from the start that there is more than meets the eye here where Grendel is concerned. Ingvar Sigurdsson as Grendel gives an incredible performance with his facial expressions and grunts, not an easy task for any actors. Stellan Skarsgard just confirmed to me what
While Gerard Butler and Sarah Polley put a tremendous effort in for acting, I think the movie really fell apart. I am a huge fan of history and legends, and out of all that I have seen I have to say this is not very good. I think the Director tried to go in several directions, but not enough steam to reach the destination. I`d say wait for it to be shown on TV, it`ll be free and worth the money at that point.
beautifully done ,i love epic movies,it gives you a sense of what it could have been like in past history,the scenery was awsome,ya sometimes a bit slow but you can t have battles non stop,overall very entertaining,go watch it
absolute garbage the movie was slow and boring. the excessive use of the f word didn`t fit in with the rest of the dialog. it`s the type of movie you see on tv and wonder who the idiots were that payed to see it in the theater
I am a huge Gerard Butler fan and admit that I would pay just to watch him paint a wall.This being said; he was a fantastic Phantom and a beautiful Beowulf.Can`t get enough of the man and his characters!The rest of the movie was okay too.
