Default Beowulf

Don't see it cause it's grade-A terrible... Well, I guess that isn't 100% fair, cause there were a few damn cool scenes, but EVERYTHING that wasn't an action sequence was laughably terrible.

Quote of the movie: Beowulf- "I have heard rumors far and wide about the King's delicious meat. I would just like a taste of the King's delicious meat"

And, for some reason, the first time Beowulf fights in the movie he feels the need to strip naked beforehand, thus leading to a while fight sequence punctuated by Austin Powers-like penis coverups.

Jolie nekkid was the best part of the movie, but you can find those pics on the internet, so save yourself the $11 to not see this movie.

And yeah, it was as terrible as the trailers looked. I was willing to give it a try after a 71% critic rating on rottentomatoes.com though.

The best part about the movie were the trailers. They had a couple good ones, including a trailer that made the Golden Compass look good, plus a Cloverfield (!!!) trailer :bowdown:

I thought it was ok. I would rather have rented it, but oh well.

BTW, it's 'mead'(as in beer)...not 'meat'. h:
