Beowulf
 

Anyone catching this tonight...Or saw it already...definitely looking forward to it.

I literally groaned when I saw the ad to this. I knew my husband would make us watch it; I'm just hoping we don't have to go to the theaters. It looks too stylized for my taste... I couldn't stand 300 and it looks exactly like that.

Run and hide skylark...run!!!! LOL

I would love to go see a good "Beowulf" movie, but I seriously doubt I'll go see this. I absolutely detest the style of animation they used for it. I couldn't stand it in "The Polar Express," and I don't want to see it with "Beowulf."

Skylark, you're supposed to encourage your husband to go see it with his guy friends. ;) That's what my wife does -- there's a group of husbands that go to see all the guy movies together. Last year for Valentine's Day, my wife gave me $50 in movies passes with the caveat that I could not use the passes to go see movies with her. Brilliant!

And of course she knows that if she wants to go see a chick flick with her friends, I'm not going to argue. Win-win for everyone!

I saw it and was impressed. You get used to the animation after a few minutes. It was worth it.

I really don't think I would. I'm serious, I found it beyond distracting in "The Polar Express" -- I would have walked out of the movie if the kids hadn't been with me.

I totally agree... I would be more willing to see the movie if it didn't look like a freakin video game. And yeah... I do try to encourage him to see things with his guy-friends, but the movie ticket idea might be a good idea. He does lots of stuff with his guy friends, but mainly hunting/fishing crap. I'm not sure he has ever gone out with a guy friend for a movie. I tried to get him to have a guy's night out a couple weeks ago when I had my sorority's advisory board over for a Saturday night meeting / girls' dinner night. He ended up hiding in his "sport room" and reloaded ammunition and stuff all night. Maybe next time I have the girls over I'll get him two movie passes and tell him to see his stupid Beowolf.

I've so far avoided going to see it, or talking to many that I know that have... I'm just too worried that it'll be a hatchet job on a great work - sorta like Beowulf & Grendel but in a more "Hollywood/Disney" animated 2 hour marketing advert vein.

i am still scarred from having to read it for h.s. english!

When I first heard that they were making a Beowulf movie, I thought it was a bad joke. Are they trying to give people nightmares? I tell you, it's been over 20 years and the scars from that h.s. experience still run deep.

it was crappy... the 3D was subpar at best...
