Akira from Birmingham [Highly rated reviewer] , 18/03/2008

While i felt the film itself was rather good the cgi spoilt it for me. The characters lack emotion and it all feels extremley fake. I know people are praising the film for its graphics but i'm sure they have not seen Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within another cgi film which featured much more realistic graphics and is a film from 2001. Prehaps i am being a little harsh though if you can look past the graphics there is enjoyment to be found here. Beowulf is an epic tale of heroes and monsters and anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre will enjoy this fillm. I do feel the film would have benifited more from giving the wonderful Angelina Jolie a bit more screen time as her character is fascinating but this is not her tale, but still who dosen't want to see Jolie?
