One Paragraph Review: Beowulf

I like movies based on comic books, such as Spider-Man, X-Men, and Batman. I like movies based on graphic novels such as 300, and V for Vendetta. But I guess I don't like movies based on epic poems, because I did not like this movie. I understand the appeal of reinterpreting the story and turning Beowulf into a flawed character instead of a hero. But if you are going to do that, then why use the animated motion capture film technique that they did? I don't think the screenplay and the film technique meshed.
