What I loved most: Great, life like CGIs

What I really hated: Lack of human like expression

Based on an old English poem about Kings, dragons and monsters, the legend of Beowulf come to life albeit with the help of CGIs and performance-capture devices. In this modern interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon literature, the film begins with a feast at the Hearot - the function hall of Danish King Hrothgar (a CGI of ANTHONY HOPKINS). The noises created by drunken men at the feast awaken the monster Grendel (voiced by CRISPIN GLOVER) who gatecrashed the party and started a killing spree, only to stop when confronted by King Hrothgar when he was about to kill Queen Wealthow (a CGI of ROBIN WRIGHT PENN). The Hearot was closed after the attack but it was not for long until a young Viking warrior Beowulf (a CGI of RAY WINSTONE) came to the rescue and killed the monster. However, the death of Grendel lead to another nightmare when his mother - a seductress with lizard tail (a CGI of Angelina Jolie) - took revenge and silenly killing the revellers in the Hearot. Beowulf now has to confront this seductress at her watery dent but lost to his temptation instead. Nevertheless, he was hailed as a hero for killing the monsters and made the king of the nation when King Hrothgar committed suicide after telling him a dark secret. Years later, Beowulf is an aging king and history is repeating itself when a dragon wracked havoc in the Kingdom. King Beowulf now must face the consequences of his younger days sins. Being a production entirely using CGI, the film managed to entertain with its awesome graphic. The fighting scenes in the finale involving the flying dragon and burning castle were also interesting. However, being CGI images of the actors made their facial expression look fake and lifeless; up to the point that when Angelina Jolie emerged naked from the water, there was not much excitement about it. The theme song - 'A Hero Comes Home' - is a nicely written song and could make it to the final nominee of the Oscar next year. An entertaining watch for all.

What I loved most: Overall graphic.. totally awesome

What I really hated: The storyline is like omg! I can understand it so easily

A must watch movie for people out there who loves Anglo-Saxon Literature or some gamers out there who loves violence or anybody in search for a demons and heroes movie.This movie has a very well-written script. The dialogues are absolutely cool. The worst part is that its a little too straightforward.

What I loved most: Seeing the digitally naked jolie

What I really hated: The visual affect of the human like cartoon

Hero falls in the hands of the beauty-nothing special about the story. I personally don't like the digital image of the humans. The movement of the figures are slower (not that pleasant to view). Jolie only appears less than 5 x. and the story was kinda of repeated 3 x (the king, beowulf, and his friend who later took the crown). Boring and forgettable.

What I loved most: The characters look like the real actors

What I really hated: Hello what storyline is this? For kids ah?!

The only thing unusual about this movie is that the characters in the animation are based on real actors. Storyline is crappy and how am I supposed to grade its acting when it's animation? Some scenes are uneccesarily painful and violent to watch. I think this show appeals to gamers with no brains.
