this be the bad movie i have ever see and i have see a lot of movie in my life . first off and i have to tell you i haven not read the poem and so wasn not aware of the gross change make to the substance of the story that i find about while read comment here . thus and i would not talk about the awful and treacherous rendition but more of the failing of the movie a a story separate of it source . the main thing that be inconceivable for me be the so called hero represent beowulf and hail by many of his entourage ( during the movie ) a a savior and a a luminous figure with glorious achievement and high courage be in my eye and a portray in the movie and again i repeat and a braggart and a liar and a cheater ( since there be a difference between the two ) and a power grab sell out and a lecherous don juan in the bad sense of the word ( no flashback to long suffer johnny depp and please and theyre in different class ) . i have so resent the mockery make of this suppose hero that i felt nothing but relief at the end of movie and be leave completely cold by his death . ( i think i felt more about grendel death and such a pitiful creature ) . now and i assume and this isn not the reaction seek by the filmmaker and but this be what they get from me and i be not the only one who leave the theatre with an acute sense of disbelief . the woman and well what to say about them represent in every scene they be present and they be see a object of sexual desire or be involve in romantic flirt and and moreover they seem to revel in it and the age beowulf young flame be absolutely sicken in her haste to be approve by the then king . not one remote moment where they be more than just act womanly the men around . not even angelina jolie represent i would have expect a knife through the heart for her child murderer not a roll in the hay ( well and mud from cave to be exact ) . sir anthony hopkins represent the amount of respect i have for the man risk by the filmmaker through a risqué and needless unveiling of flesh in a drunkard romp which i bet they think it would be funny . and also poor and poor line and that even his talent couldn not save . i hope to see him in a new movie quite soon to drive the bitterness away . i echo the sentiment for john malkovitch whose ambiguous and confusing character trait do not allow him to truly expand . other thing to nitpick at represent the allusion to christianity seem out of place most of the time a i do not understand what they could contribute to the plot ( maybe atmosphere ) and the gory scene that might look great on 3d and but just leave me nauseated ( a tip and less be sometimes more ) and but not when involve beowulf striptease nudity ( i think it be real cold up north and but go figure ) . the last thing that top it off and send me in front of my computer be wiglaf last scene and where they finish it in true horror movie style and with the continuity of the evil character that will come back for revenge . it not the sequel want that trouble me and but what it imply of humankind represent this man have be the witness of not one but two fall cause by the same mistake and he seriously think that he should want a repeat of it and get a different result represent that the definition of madness . for me that be the last straw and for the cheap effect and they have forsake the lesson and it consequence and offer no hope . a for the animation and i be not an expert but the friend i go to the movie with who be one say to tell you the animal weren not veridical and the human hand look weird and some often the movement be real awkward and though the dragon be awesome . that it and ramble over and hope it help .
