Dear Lord that was terrible. |

Beowulf, that is.
OMG, I can't believe I spent $20 on a cab to go see it. Good thing other people bought me my food, because otherwise I would feel completely ripped off. My friends didn't like it, I didn't like it, the people around us didn't like it. One of my friends said it was the most homoeroticism he's seen in a movie since 300 -- I just said there was way too much testosterone injected into it. I understand this is a very,erm, masculine story, but goddamn it, it's possible to go overboard.
The dialogue was horrible, the acting was bad (and how does that happen in a CG movie these days?), the original story was just screwed up...yeah.
The only redeeming thing about it was that it made me laugh a bit (mostly because of how my friends were reacting to it, and the 'nudity') and Grendel's character design was done well. It was basically 'pretty good' until the fight between Beowulf and Grendel. Also, this is probably a lot better than whatever I was told Disney was making back in 2003; they were working on a PG adaptation of Beowulf, which would have been truly terrible.
And to think, this is the first time I've been out on a weekend in probably 2.5 months.
