Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Cool dvd Comment: Ok - I will admit that Angelina Jolie was a big draw, but I would have seen this movie any ways. The graphics/cgi in this movie are great. real cool. I think these are the most realistic CGI people I've ever seen. I vaguely remembered reading the original Beowulf way back when. From the extras they say this is a little different take on the original. This is a real good story, there is a lot of skill that went into bringing the characters and story to life. The battle/fight scenes are excellent, and it's got good drama and an interesting story that kept my attention all the way through. I really enjoyed this. Totally entertaining. Customer Rating: Summary: Beowulf Dvd Review Comment: Special effects are decent, any resemblance to the actual story is purely coincidental! Too bad, as most students SHOULD read originals before watching "re-makes." Customer Rating: Summary: what they can do with computers.. Comment: If you look at this movie closley you'll see that it is animated. when i saw the previews i didn't know it was animated. they did a pretty good job making the actors look real. this was a very good movie. good action and animation. Customer Rating: Summary: Great action with a mid-evil theme! Comment: This movie ranks with the movie 300! Great CGI, with a feel of 3-D at times. A must for your movie files. A second or third watch brings out all of the "little things" you'll miss at first. Customer Rating: Summary: I am beowolf!!! Comment: This movie has to be my all time favorite movie. I love animation. Until i saw this movie I thought the japanese were the leaders of animation. boy was I wrong. I also thought from commercials I had seen that this was live action. I mean, thats how good the cgi was. The story is phenomenal and according to myth possibly true to some extent. The way he always screams his own name as he is kicking some a** is awesome too. watch it on hd dvd though. extra scenes and such. My only complaint, Not in 3D like I saw at the movies. Now THAT would be great! More Reviews
