DVD Review - Beowulf Director's Cut

As I said above, there was something which bothered me about the movie, but to be honest it's a small thing.  I found that when the characters were very expressive, their faces didn't convey the full emotion the actors were trying to get across.  Of course this is a small thing, and I'd imagine as the motion capture technology improves, so too will "emotion capture."

I can only imagine what the high def version of this movie would look like on a big screen - it must be amazing, because even on my old 32" TV it impressed the hell out of me.

Not only were the effects amazing, but the acting was incredible as well.  I think my favorite acting in the whole movie was Crispin Glover playing Grendel.  When I first saw the movie I thought there was something familiar about the character, but it wasn't until I saw the bonus material that I realized that is was Glover.

Of course the character played by Angelina Jolie is probably the one who gets the most "positive" reviews from the male audience, but to me it was Grendel.

I know there were reviews which are less than impressive when the movie came out, but I have to say if you are looking for a fun movie to watch, that will blow your mind with some truly astounding special effects then Beowulf is it.
