One Paragraph Review: Beowulf

This movie is like Shrek for adults. It sort-of looks like the animation like Shrek, but instead of cute monsters and lame jokes it's got scary monsters and lame plot. The action sequences were pretty good, but the movie just never really captured me. Beowulf is such an interesting tale but it seemed like the directors took it in a petty direction. Instead of an analysis of a real "Hero" like Beowulf the movie acts more like a standard action movie. Definitely a good flick to watch on HBO late night when you're girlfriend has nodded off because she didn't want to sleep with you.
