Honestly, this just goes to further my theory that Robert Zemeckis is living in an alternate reality in which he thinks people truly love his performance capture zombies. His three mo-cap films -- The Polar Express, Beowulf and now A Christmas Carol --...
Here's the thing about Bob Zemeckis and all his newfangled motion-capture outings. When put to more mythic use in Beowulf, I was more drawn in by the adventure and less distracted by the characters. However, between The Polar Express and A Christmas...

this movie really stink the only good part is with Anglina Jolie the movie was so bad it put me to sleep i had to skipp some parts of the movie so i can stay awake the guy who made must been drunk or ... on drugs Full Review
Previous reviewers are correct in comparing this to a video game. That is about its speed. The graphics were cheaply done, the story line was non-existant and the characters were poorly realized. O... verall, a rip-off. I was bored after the first ten minutes. Full Review
Despite the opinions of learned AP high school kids and rabid fans of the groundbreaking Shrek trilogy, get to IMAX as soon as you're able. This movie will not win an Oscar or even a Golden Globe. And... even though it has a PG-13 rating, you might have to leave the preacher at church and the infant at home. It is a beautifully violent experience, more akin to a thrill ride than a movie. True, the film is not accurate as per the original manuscript, but why should you care, as both versions represent two disparate mediums. The movie is more of an homage to the original story than a retelling of it. The plot is not the tightest, but honestly neither was the plot of the written version. Both tellings make their bones with action and Beowulf's unchecked badassery. So, if you're too pretentious or too stupid to enjoy Beowulf (the 3D version) maybe you internet dorks can hope to find a more accurate production, with Olde English verbage and a linear story, somewhere on YouTube; produced by, directed by, written by, and starring some 15-year-old blogger/filmmaker/retard.
