貝武夫：北海的詛咒 (2007)

Beowulf is a solemnly gorgeous, at times borderline stolid piece of Tolkien-with-a-joystick mythology.

It’s not a reinvention of the wheel, but in 3D this is an astonishing experience that borders on ‘must-see’, and raises the bar for what James Cameron is planning with Avatar. And you’ll be glad to know that the creepy dead eyes thing has been fixed.

Highly entertaining - but far from classic.

We are not looking at flesh-and-blood actors but special effects that look uncannily convincing, even though I am reasonably certain that Angelina Jolie does not have spike-heeled feet. That's right: feet, not shoes.

Regardless of the medium, this is an effectively brutal story of swords, sorcery, demons, and heroes, with an Oedipal hint or two thrown in for flavor.

Zemeckis springs so many pow 3-D surprises you'll think Beowulf is your own private fun house.

For the record, it's truly puzzling that this film has been rated PG-13; it's much stronger than that. The monsters of "Beowulf" have haunted human imagination for more than a millennium; the ones in this film will easily provoke a few nightmares.

It's got power and depth, and two kings whose greatness is diluted by hubris, and a thrilling dragon fight, and the demon Grendel as a tortured outcast, and a naked monster who looks a lot like Angelina Jolie.

Beowulf couldn't be less faithful to the original epic poem, and that's actually a good thing for moviegoers. It's a lot more fun than the mythic adventure most of us read in school.

He intercuts documentary sequences from a French news crew and also includes Arab website footage of insurgents and YouTube confessions from soldiers who witnessed a barbarous act, which we also see, involving the platoon and a young Iraqi girl. The concept is audacious but the actors are too theatrical.

以此纪念2012.11.21在北京电影学院听胡陸忠老师的“特效”讲座~~~

真人搭台，CG唱戏，雄性荷尔蒙爆棚。

意淫许久的英国诗史

这片子并不像评论的那么烂，但就是感觉差，看的时候也觉得不错，有点深意。总结下来，影片的气质被导演影响了。

绝对顶尖的电脑技术 + 平庸无聊的东欧神话寓言 = 极度无聊...

该片阵容太强大了

就知道看惯卡通风格的人接受不了这部片子， 内容也不是面向动画fans的，也不想想现在几乎没有真实人设的动画片，就知道做起来不那么容易了，真是吃力不讨好啊，但是你做的确实足够好了，至少比某些高分动画要好看的多

这货绝对比斯巴达300勇士来得给力和深刻

我完全是为了Ubi才看的这部电影

我很喜欢这部电影，大半夜3点看时，居然没有睡着，喜欢里面Angelina Jolie，但是她儿子好恶心啊

其实还行啊

动画效果不错 可惜是剧本一般般

电脑特效用得太多，效果又不够好——这对于奇幻片而言是致命的..或许实拍结合后期制作会更好些

画面音效蛮不错

除了最近念古英语来的兴趣，这部电影还是Neil Gaiman编的剧哈，阐释得很有意思。虽然恶评如潮。

比想象中要好看

一个讲述轮回的故事。人都应该为年轻时候犯下的错误而付出代价，特别是男人。
