| Oh dear... |
I was really looking forward to a Beowulf film...then I heard Zemeckis was directing in CGI and I thought hmmm... OK I'll give him another chance - but it'd better be a lot better than Polar Express. Now I've seen the trailers and am completeley underwhelmed by it all, the final nail in the coffin is that image of Grendel ...what posessed RZ to approve that crappy character design? Oh dear...this could've been sooo cool.

I'm not too convinced about the CG-on-top-of-live-action either. It resembles video game cut-scenes to me too. I think a straight live-action film would have been better, or even a straight-up CG-animated film. ... Read More

| Monster!? |
Please don't tell me thats supposed to be Grendel?? I was really looking forwards to this film but shouldn't the monster look scary? It looks like Beaker out of the muppets for fucks sake. Did a bunch of 5 year olds design it? ... Read More

this does look far too clean and well, Pixarish. Is there going to be two cuts of this film like i heard? Because if so then the 'cleanliness' of it might be down to that. I agree Grendal looks bad and frankly those shots look like a semi decent Video game. ... Read More

Is it just me or does the whole thing look like a dodgy cutscene from a videogame? I agree with kathryn2, this might've worked much better as a live-action. But I'll withhold judgement till i've seen it. ... Read More

| RE: Exclusive: New Beowulf Images |
I can't get excited by this either - it looks far too shiny and clean. There's no atmosphere at all.
It's a shame, as Beowulf is such a great story, it would make a fantastic live-action film - one where you can see the sweat, dirt and blood on the actors' faces.
I can understand them going for the 'fantastical' look, what with the dragon and the 'monsters' and all, but that is a fundamental misunderstanding of the poem, which treats the whole story as history, and r... Read More
