I just went and saw "Beowulf". I thought it was really good! I would rate it 4.5/5!
I really appreciated the history in "Beowulf", like I would any other movie about the past. It had a lot of good fights, too. Did I mention Angelina Jolie was in it? (Just kidding!) The concept and motif behind it was spectacular!
What I didn't like was that it was animated. I was very depressed to see Angelina that way, but really, that cut down on the fighting a lot. It was just kinda wierd to see it that way. I haven't read the actual tale, just summaries, so I don't know how closely it follows the actual epic. I can't dis it on then. The ending was a little disappointing at first, but when you think about it, it really leaves a good impression.
I definitely plan to read a translation of Beowulf in the near future. I looked it up on Borders' website, and it's $13.95. I can hack that down to $10.47 before tax with my 25% off coupon! Yay! =)
One reason I love going to theatres is the commercials. Usually they are looked at as annoying, but I find them useful! "National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets", "Wanted" (with Angelina Jolie, not to mention the plot looks great), and "Kungfu Panda" (which I will only see because Angelina Jolie is one of the voices (it's animated unfortunately)) are all movies I plan on seeing.

That movie sounds cool. I LOVE the commercials before the movies, too! I TOTTALLY want to see that Kung Fu Panda movie too! That National Treasure is a must on my "to-see" list for the holidays...
The commercials are the best! Kungfu Panda looks so stupid, I have to see. Did I mention Angelina Jolie is one of the voices? (lol) I usually don't like animated movies that well, but what the heck! =)
