Beowulf has phenomenal special effects, especially in RealD 3D. It is animated, but it is very well done. It does not look like the animation of the past, the characters actually look life or video game like. It does not look like a colorful Disney movie either.
Unfortunately, not all theaters have it in 3D. The theater must have DLP (digital lens projection) or IMAX in order to have it the 3D. Other theaters have it in just regular 2D. It is well worth extra money to see it in 3D though.
This animation is not exactly for kids either. There are some risky things in it. Angelina Jolie's character is almost nude, as well as the backside of Beowulf in one scene. There are also lots of blood and fighting.
Rottentomatoes.com says that, "69 percent of people liked the movie. Groundbreaking animation, stunning visuals, and a talented cast."
If you see it in 3D, there is drool that will drip on you from Grendel's mouth. Sure, it is not real drool, but it will gross you out unless you like that stuff.
It is however, only loosely based on the epic poem. The movie is much different from the book.
Beowulf is a warrior, and he defeats the monster Grendel, who is terrorizing towns. After defeating Grendel, her mother starts killing out of revenge. Beowulf must then face Grendel's mother.
There is a lot of good warrior fighting and fun to watch.
