better than expected

Before I watched it, the reputation of this film was terrible, or basically, the reviews I saw were terrible.

I just saw the high-definition version on VC, and I downloaded it. After watching it, I felt that if it was released on the big screen in China, I would watch it. This kind of film can only show his momentum on the big screen.

The plot is like this, and the heroic epic can't find any new tricks. But the director still made a little surprise. Beowulf is a bragging and arrogant human being. Well, he is not a perfect person. When he was young, he was full of energy and destroyed the devil, but he was tempted by a more powerful existence. . With the growth of age, Xiao Bei has become an old Bei, thinking more about life, society and the like. Know your responsibilities and become a hero in the end. Standard American drama.

Technically it is both exaggerated and flat, and the characters are well done, including demons, sea monsters, and dragons. However, the scene processing is not good. It is obvious that the 3D modeling fails. I don't know if it is because of insufficient money. I wonder if it would be better to shoot with live action.

The music needs to be praised, blood is boiling, and it matches the plot quite well, and the final ending song is very good.

All in all, it's technically great, the characters aren't bad, the plot is average, and the music is great. Worth a look if you're a tech nerd.

Beowulf quotes

  • Unferth: Good night, Beowulf. Watch out for sea monsters. I'm sure your imagination must be teeming with them.

  • Yrsa: They say he ripped the monster's limb off with his bare hands.

    Gitte: [giggles] I wonder if Beowulf's strength is only in his arms, or in his legs as well... all three of them

    [both giggle]

    Wealthow: Well, after the feast tonight I'm sure you can find out, Gitte.

    Gitte: Me? It's not me he wants, my queen.
