Movie Review
I just watched Beowulf, and I have to wonder: why does Robert Zemeckis love this animation style so much? As my roommate describes it, Beowulf is like watching a serious version of Shrek.

November 29, 2007I went to see Beowulf last week and the CGI was brilliant I especially liked the way the characters were manipulated to mirror the stars who voiced them; well apart from Ray Winston that is. Beowulf wouldn't have been the same if they sculptured the character on his image;bless him. Nice to see muscularity put to its use; even if it is only CGI.The music score accompanied the visuals brilliantly too.
