A must see, I want to talk about it, but I'll wait...

Have to watch it in 3D if available.

I hope it is cool. To me it looks a bit lame from the advertisement, but I'll still go watch it.

The turn-offs thus far are:

- The video game look of it
- The "I am Beowulf" pronouncement, which seems like the Sparta yell in 300

Ah Acoustic... Comeon man! Where is your sense of petty indulgence? Lol!

Well, I am not expecting anything big out of the retelling of the mythic tale itself but I am so willing to see it just to get a glimpse of how things are comming along in the CG department.

And Angelina Jolie as Grendle... Well... That should be interesting LOL!

ok, I will admit, maybe I was overly excited because I have never been to a 3D movies before.

But I think the story as a teaching tool is not bad at all.maybe not for the wise in here but it can make some people think about the consequences of their actions

Crispin Glover plays Grendel. Angelina Jolie plays Grendel's mother. One of my best friends is Angelina-central and he is *so* disappointed that she used a body double in this.

I'm tempted to see it because Neil Gaiman cowrote the script, which veers pretty far from the original story. They need to do a movie version of John Gardner's Grendel!

I just saw the movie (35mm) and loved it.
The turn offs that AG posted is true but then u get adjusted to the animation.

I feel very connected to scandinavian culture a lot. One of my family like friend in this life is a swede
For a reason perhaps.

Millions of college freshmen are rejoicing that there is now a movie.

Having an oddly animated Angelina Jolie is just icing on the cake.
