passionpopi dont know what all the hype about beowulf is
i went and saw it last night at innaloo
firstly a warning, innaloo now has seated tix, so your seat is chosen when you buy the tix. i wonder how long that will last.... q17 was my seat, i think i got it.... did you know how hard it is to find your seat number in a half empty blackened cinema... this is part of the reason why allocating seat numbers at purchase is rather stupid. they need to hire 2 more 16 year olds per cinema (and innaloo has what, 16...) to enforce it. it is going to get messy, particularly over school holidays
yes allocating seating at purchase seems more civilised, like going to the theatre, but with the crap that is churned out of Hollywood, 'civilised' is a bit to much to be expected
ok now it is back to the movie
completely cg animated... and a bunch of geeks had their wet dream animating it, i mean just doing angelina joli. then there was the cleavage shot of the wench in the town. the monitors of said geeks would have needed a fair bit of spray and wipe afterwards
and the female geeks had a ball too, animating the naked body of beowulf. there is clever positioning of candles and other things for that
in parts and after a while, because the story was well told, i kinda forgot it was animated, but then there would be some rather average animation and i would remember but it didnt detract from the story all, infact many of the scenes in the movie were best done animated, but they were also scenes that reminded me of the animation
what i didnt like though was the non-ending. there was no resolution. ok. beowulf dies, his friend becomes king they morn beowulf and the demon that caused the mess kisses beowulf goodbye, but that doesnt mean the demon wont 'curse' someone else.
maybe i am too picky, but i like the story to be resolved, that is the point isnt it. a story needs conflict and resolution and to me, the conflict was caused by the demon and she has not been resolved. i understand that the conflict was within beowulf and the king before him, and for beowulf was resolved in his own death, but then when beowulf took the curse that had plagued his predecessor, wouldnt the story have also been over then?
why go on and show a older beowulf, and his wife accepting he existence ofhis concubine, if the second half of the story is just retelling the first half of the first kings story
over it. we should have seen gabriel, atleast that would have been amusing to hang shit on
