    Sick beyond belief

    This film should definately not be a 12!

    It was way too gory and violent. From the very first scene it was just disgusting. I hated every moment of it and only stayed to watch it because we had paid to watch it at the cinema.

    Good, Enjoyable Viewing

    I was hesitant to watch this, an animation, but it was beutifully done, the King voiced by Hannible Lectar AKA Hopikins, was so realistic i thought it was the man himself. And you will get more than an eye full of Angelina Jolie, who in the animated version seemed, incrediably, more sexy than in the flesh. all the characters played out well, the action was out of this world, the story lets the movie down a bit, but not bad. Ray as bewoulf was totaly believable. You will enjoy this if you can let your imaganition go for the 120 mins.
