Miscellaneous Movie Musings

We went to see Beowulf today. we saw the 3D version.

WOW.

We both thought it was incredible. While there were a couple issues with the animation (especially on Queen Wealthow), there were several times that I forgot it wasn't real live actors. And, the 3D really added to the realism, IMO.

The plot moved well, and was engaging. It's been so long since I read Beowulf that I honestly can't remember all the details, so I couldn't tell where the movie deviated from the original. But it seems that all the basics were there.

I only have three real complaints:

The way they tried to hit you over the head with the 3D effects at the beginning of the film. Fortunately, it settles down after the first 10 or 15 minutes.

The almost comic way they played "lets hide Beowulf's weenie" during his prolonged nude scene. It was out of place, and too Austin Powersish.

The feet of Angelina Jolie's character. I'm not going to say more; you'll know what I mean when you see it.
