Beowulf

I finally got around to watching Beowulf on DVD the other day. I was quite impressed with the animation, however I still found the characters a bit stiff and dead even though they uncannily looked like the actors who were voicing them. Okay maybe Ray Winstone isn't 6'10" tall and physically very fit but facially you could see it was him. I was disappointed that Grendel was killed off in the first part of the film after a bloodthirsty battle but the dragon at the end was great. I reckon it would have been better if they had made it live action but I dare say the budget would have had to be 10 times bigger. An entertaining film and well worth watching.

Rating: 7/10
