The 3D effects were about the only positive I took from the theater, but a lot of the motion was stiff (especially the horses and the close-up facial expressions). I can not go back in time and avoid exposing my family to this travesty of one of Western Civilization's oldest and noblest epic poems, but you can. Please don't waste your time or money. | | | | Reply | | |

If you're looking for a fun family chick-flick, this is not your movie. I vaguely remember the book and the movie does add some extra stuff that may not entirely be true. | | | | Reply | | |

I don't usually write reviews but this movie was truly entertaining. I enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend the 3d version. | | | | Reply | | |

I love the story, actors, music, visuals & technology. This is a story of pride, adventure, hubris and redemption. It's a amazing movie. | | | | Reply | | |

Beowulf is just horrible, boring and long movie. The movie is quite different from the original storyline of the poem. | | | | Reply | | |

I really liked Beowulf, because it is based on a literature poem, and the presentation of the hole story is amazing. | | | | Reply | | |

I am impressed with the 3D technology of this movie. The animation represents some of the best there is. This is the best technically advanced movie of the year. | | | | Reply | | |
