The special effects to make the characters faces look more comic like and less human like are awesome. I would say that this is a step behind Tintin but it still represents a shift in animation and effects and where they have now come to.
Anthony Hopkins stars in this film and as i have said before-with the exception of Thor 2, he doesn't really make bad films. I love him in everything that i have seen him in and I am hopping that this continues as there are a few other films that i have yet to watch.
I do love how Beowulf sounds really- i want to say East London but i'm going to go more for sounding like Idris Elba than typically Danish. I actually know someone that is Danish so i am not just making it up based on stereotype- these guys couldn't sound more rough English if they tried.
I am wondering how much joy Ray Winstone got out of spending most of his time filming wearing practically nothing (if anything). There are the odd scenes where he just takes off his clothes out of somewhat arrogance.
If i had to rate this film then i would stick it on the once watched don't bother watching again pile. It's a good enough film but it's just not one that is good enough to watch over and over again. There is nothing truly gripping about it and whilst Anthony Hopkins is great in his role as the king (which seems to be becoming a regular role for him in films), his performance alone cannot hold together something that doesn't really have a leg to stand on. There are much worse films and this was certainly not a waste of the two hours that i spent watching it but i wouldn't say that it was the most profitable thing that i have done this week.
