I definately would've been happier if he'd had clothes on during the Grendel fight. It seemed to take away from the over all badassness of the fight

His reason for being naked was sensible though, as he explained but clothes would've been better. At least a diaper cloth.

i also felt that naked beowulf drew a lot of attention AWAY from the fight. i kept trying to see if the animators actually had put a penis in one of the frames. plus, riding grendel bareback has got to be double tough on his package. lol...

Has anyone else noticed the humour in Beowulf's name? My sister told me about this about a week ago. It sounds like you're saying, "Bear-wolf," only like a little kid says it.

This movie was alright. Didn't blow my mind or anything, but it was entertaining. I still find it harder to relate or sympathize for CGI characters.

No matter what changes they made to the text, or the performances of the actors, it all added up to nothing in the end because of the technique. I sat in my seat for nearly two hours with a nagging feeling of disbelief, because it's an animated movie trying to pretend it's live action, and IT'S FAILING TO CONVINCE ME. Nearly every actor looks encased in a wax seal, because the CGI cannot pick up the subtle movements & facial ticks (or it does them in too exaggerated a fashion) only a live actor can do. Actual animated films that use the medium for it's strengths can be filled with real characters that you can care about - the PIXAR films, the better Dreamworks films, even old 2-D works of classic Disney and the animated DC Universe. All of them filled with much more life than this; the Denmark Playhouse of Frozen Expression.

Tens of millions of dollars wasted, just to give the SHREK filmmakers ample material to parody for their next film - just watch! laughing out loud
In fact, instead of Crispin Glover's Grendel ( disappointingly resembling a deformed Ent), it would have been refreshing to see Shrek come through the door instead - "What's all yer problems, eh? I'm just lookin' for the fast food counter fer me clan back inna swamp." big grin

I doubt they were actually trying to convince you with the CGI. But I liked it.

I believe that's exactly what they were trying, just like the makers of FINAL FANTASY six years ago, when they claimed they were going to make CGI actors as real as living ones. But they failed then, too.

I understand that to push technology, you have to make projects like this, so one day you could have CGI actors as real as living ones - maybe. That might take as long as having robots possesing true A.I.
Until then, CGI works best to create characters nearly impossible to do in real life, like Jar Jar or Gollum. George Lucas, Peter Jackson & others still have the right idea on using this tech.

Eh, I'm actually glad it was []all/i] CGI.

Because it was obvious (Yet awesome) CGI, it made the whole movie not look cheesy. A lot of scenes like the ride on the dragon would have looked fake and disappointing if it was live acrion and some CGI.

None of the creatures in the big scenes of LOTR or King Kong looked cheesy, because they were blending CGI with real actors and real sets.

The monsters in King Kong did look cheesy.

Yes, that's part of the plot & theme. Still doesn't mean it's good.

I never knew what the reason was for Beowulf being done completely in C.G.I.

I mean all of it could've been done with live actors and green screens.

Perhaps the movie was partly a visual update on how far C.G.I. has come technically.
