Beowulf Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Ultimately, Beowulf feels a lot like a video game blown up large: noise, action and funny walking intact.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
The film strives for mythological depth and epic breadth, but it's hard to get below the flat, shallow gloss over every surface.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Those who remember the 3000 line epic from 8th grade English will be pleasantly surprised to learn they've scrapped the original plot altogether.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It's imaginative, and it has the barreling forward motion and lurching thrills of a Dark Ages theme park, even when it's exercising battle-worn clichés.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's the Beowulf saga once again, and the movie becomes tiresome and trivial -- well done within the narrow limits of its aspiration but not worth the inflated effort.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Beowulf is many things, but boring isn't one of them.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Beowulf is as dazzling a feast for the eyes as the hungriest eyes can take.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf is so rousingly entertaining that you'll feel guilty for not reading the epic poem all the way through when you were in ninth grade.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
An excellent showcase for the advantages of computer-generated animation.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I had a hell of a good time at this movie.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Their story arc brings some legitimate dramatic interest to Beowulf's climactic battle with the dragon.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
You want to read Beowulf? Get the book, I'm not stopping you. You want bloody adventure with a brain, see the movie.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Zemeckis has been seduced by the siren call of motion capture... Memo to Zemeckis: come back to earth!
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's more dazzle than disaster, but the technical ambitions of Beowulf work too sporadically to be completely effective, while the screenplay adaptation of the classic story suffers from serious bouts of corn poison.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Comic-Con geeks and cinephiles alike will gape at the resplendent imagery (but don ye specs, and see it in 3-D).
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
I can't speak for the standard-issue version, but the souped-up extravaganza is one of those experiences that remind you of the magic that movies are capable of conjuring.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
A bloody, silly-sexy action spectacle that shamelessly attempts to justify its excess by basing its violent bombast on the epic poem.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Not all of it works -- and not all of it works the way the target audience of jacked-up young males might want it to -- but the movie is hugely provocative fun, and I'm pretty sure that's on purpose.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It is a staggering, if still somewhat frustratingly underwhelming, experience, and walking out I found I had far more to ponder than I'd previously anticipated.
