Beowulf

brilliant movie but way too gory. beowulf rips out a dragons heart and isreally graphical. quite funny though in the cinima. when grendel wakes up and screams i jumped out of my seat! good for 13+ but in england it should be a 15 and a R in usa.

This Movie Is Too Edgy For A PG-13 Rating Because There's One Scene Where Grendel's Mother Appears Completely Nude and That Scene Is Super Hot!This Should Have Got a R Rating

i saw this when i was 8 (maybe 9). it was the first bloody movie that i had seen. and now it still is the most bloddy movie ive seen. (well maybe not i saw 30 days of night). even in the first 20 minutes theres gallons of blood because the grendle dude comes and he rips peaple in half and then pours the blood out of them. he chucks people at the cieling, steps on them, and throws them at spikes (remeber, all in 20 min.) then i kinda remeber angie jolie like all sexy and stuff. and then beowulf rips off his arm so he can stick it in the dragons body and rip out the heart. so beowulf dies at the end. should be rated r though because of all the blood. after i wacthed it my dad was like "wow i dont remeber it being so bloody."

The movie Beowulf is not a well developed movie because stories like this have been told so many times before. The film starts out in a castle, Beowulf then comes to slay Grendel.When Beowulf slays Grendel it is supposed to be serious but end stead Beowulf jumping around naked. And each jump he did there was something covering his private area. Everyone in my class was laughing. In the poem however Beowulf is in a serious battle with clothes on. I don’t understand why the movie would change that. Beowulf’s character was shown as a tall muscular man with blond hair. He looked similar to how the poem described him. Then king Rothgar was always drunk. Each seen he was drunk. But in the poem he was not drunk. Also Grendel’s mom looked like a tall naked woman with gold goo dripping off her body. As for the poem they describe her as a monster. Grendel looked like a human that was very huge and dirty. He really didn’t look like a monster. He almost looked funny. But in the poem they describe Grendel as this monster…I mean he was a monster but not what I expected. This movie reminded me of the “Polar Express” because the graphics and animations were very similar. Although the story of the “Polar Express” is nothing like Beowulf the animations are very much the same. They both have that almost clay look to them. This movie also reminded me of “Power rangers” because they both have played out battle scenes. As well as having the same basic concept of here defeating villain. The animation in this film is ok. The actors almost don’t look like humans…they have this sort of clay look and there bodies look flawless. There isn’t one pimple or scratch on them. Almost as if someone took a smudge tool and blurred all there imperfections. The music in this movie is very old fashioned. I just thought it would have been fun if they added some of the top ten songs! If they did it would have made the movie a lot more interesting. The film is lacking what the book had. The book was serious and scary, while the movie was funny and not scary. This film however does relate to present day life, it shows how people think and how immature and perverted the world has become. Sometimes I think they made this film this way so that people of the modern world would be able to understand and relate to a old piece of literature. Had they of kept everything the same…people may not have understood it. Although they had reasons for doing what they did, I still think they failed at it. They could have made this movie so much better. So all in all if you must see the film go ahead if you wish. But let me just warn you that if you don’t like played out boring movies you will not like Beowulf. Keep your money and buy the book end stead if you like but just don’t see the film. And if you do go to see it bring a depressing book so you won’t laugh and make a fool out of the film.
