Ok, I just got home from this movie, I went with 4 other dads after a quick round at the bar. Visually, this movie was a treat, the monsters are awesome, especially Grendel, who is now one of my all-time favorites. Imagine LOTR's Golem only much scarier, 15 feet tall, screaming and covered in gore, with a distended, pus-filled ear drum!
Beowulf is larger than life, he fights sea monsters, gets swallowed by one before stabbing his way out through the beast's eye socket.
I'm not really a big AJ fan, especially when she does her imitation "somewhere-in-Europe" accent (like in Alexander), but I have to admit that the witch was a pretty sexy character.
Despite it's sometime Shrek-like appearence, and a bit too much man-ass, the animation, set design and action scenes were very convincing.
All in all, a great story and a very cool movie!
Go see it on the biggest screen you can find.
