    Yeah, I saw that. Too bad I'm routinely disappointed in video game adaptations of movies. Maybe this one'll be good, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Meaning what, exactly? The movie as a whole? Its CGI-photo-realism or whatever its called? (Actually, what is that called??)

    Hell, with this director and cast, I'd be interested in seeing it if it was filmed with stop-motion pop-sickle stick-figures.

    There's another Beowulf movie from 2005 called "Beowulf & Grendal with Gereard Butler from 300 as Beowulf:

    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TGlSAtb-SDw"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TGlSAtb-SDw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    I misread and thought you were saying the title was "Beowulf & Grendal with Gereard Butler from 300 as Beowulf" :D sounded more like a spoof that way.

    The new Beowulf movie is supposedly using the CGI technology that was in Polar Express (which was amazing) - and they've beefed it up a bunch.

    One of the biggest complaints about polar express was that the characters' eyes were doll-like and made the show creepy. Supposedly, they've put a LOT of work into that and the eyes are a million times better.

    There's a possibility that we'll be blown away by the CGI in Beowulf.
