when go into the theatre to see this i in two mind it be my first 3d movie and i have hear good thing and however i wasn not particularly take by the concept or the trailer . i be unsure what to expect and however i end up leave the cinema extremely satisfy with the film and and tellingly and unable to stop discuss it long after the ride home . visually it be an absolute treat and zemeckis use 3d superbly and some of the camera angle and sequence be a great an art a the photo realistic animation . occasionally the odd shot appear where the impression be that it be set up solely to emphasise the 3d ( e. g. start at the end of a branch and pan out ) and whilst this doesn not add to the film it be actually a pleasant reminder of the novelty of 3d . there be only two area that let beowulf down aesthetically represent the eye and the mouth . the eye be static throughout and it be the little detail that make the difference when try to make something a uber realistic a this and such a the fact that the pupil do not react to light . a for the lip theyre just not quite there yet sometimes the speech do not seem to be quite right . the character be expertly introduce and develop and most notably anthony hopkins character and hrothgar and the tension between his wife . grendell and his mother be wonderfully creepy and seductive and and bizarrely enough almost encourage sympathy . for me the most disappointing part of the film be actually ray winstone a the titular character he be fantastic when talk in a low growl and however the film really suffer when he shout in full cockney accent . i will kill your monstah . i half expect grendell head to be smash between a car and it door . john malkovitch be a save grace with his none more sinister voice and interesting faith sub plot . the rating for this film have be hotly discuss and in my opinion i do not think it be suitable for child under the age of 12. grendell would have truly terrify me a a child . the violence and as well a bawdiness and do not make it a family film for young child although have say that the lewd reference do provide good humour and balance out the movie . so and overall and this be worthy of an 8. breathtaking animation and incredible action ( especially the finale feature an excellent dragon ) and a generally brilliant cast . beowulf throw down the gauntlet to film maker to show what can be do with 3d and be an indication of the potential . it not all the way there yet and but it a damn good start .
