beowulf



This guy looks like Sean Bean and Russell Crowe's CGI lovechild. Really, I hope Sean Bean gets some credit or a paycheck.

Not crazy about the look of this. Honestly I am very picky , maybe snobbish is the word, when it comes to this story. I read it when I was a kid and it really made an impression.I certainly didn't expect to be so thrilled with a story that had been written in the eighth century. I wasn't prepared to be frightened, since I was a kid that sat through the Exorcist and Halloween and loved the Omen movies.
What I envisioned in my mind was much better, much scarier, than any big screen adaption.
It's just one of those childhood experiences that I'm sure a lot of people have had. Like Lord of the Rings fans.

  • I know Zemeckis is hot on these all-motion capture flicks...but I just don't get the appeal of an entire feature that looks like a video game. I also don't get the logic. I mean, I'm no expert in CG, maybe it's not really like this, but it just seems like a lot of extra work. Shooting the actors for the motion capture and then animating on top of them? Just doesn't make any sense to me.

    Maybe it's the evolution of filmmaking.

    I'm picturing that 40 years from now, they'll have perfected Russell Crowe in CGI glory starring in Gladiator XIV even though Crowe will be dead or in a wheelchair slurping his tapioca pudding.

    Maybe it will be cheaper to make too. Why shell out 20 mill for your A list actor when you can just build him in CGI with an underpaid non union team.

    I suppose. How depressing is that.

    Now we can look forward to stuff like Mr. & Mrs. Smith 28 starring Brangelina's CG likenesses. ICK.
