Well if it's completely animated then I'll go to see it for that fact. At least when everything's animated you don't have to endure the stark contrast of a real body and a fake one in the same movie (like a CGI Yoda talking to Obiwan).
That's true!

I don't see why people are so up in arms about this. The source material isn't that great or thought provoking to begin with. Beowulf himself is an incredible Gary Stu and constantly veers off into random moralizing while not living by the morals himself.

I liked the way my English teacher told the story when I was in high school. And I love the Star Trek equivalent of Beowulf in one episode of Voyager.


There's nothing wrong with the core of the story, which is why I think a movie would work a lot better than the written form. So far this movie is getting mostly decent reviews. 71% at Rotten 'Maters.
