Beowulf

This time its the 2007 version with the CG and all.

Beowulf needs to put on some damn pants. Apparently he likes to fight in the nude. Although the movie's doing a good job of keeping his jibblies off screen, being blocked by the random objects on screen.

Some weird perspective issues, but I guess that's the nature of the beast with a pure CG movie.

And some of the fight scenes, especially the one with the dragon, were very God of War esque, what the the chains and stuff...

And I thought it was very interesting how they showed the dragon roaring with an open mouth, and they showed something vibrating in the back of its throat, so it actually was sort of credible that it was making the sort of noise that it was.

Oh, and dragons apparently have terrifically small hearts. About the size of your fist. Even if the dragon is ginormously huge. I'm intrigued to know how well such a circulatory system would work... probably not all that well.

Viking funerals seem very inefficient. If multiple people from one ship died, did each get their own ship to be burned? Or did they have to build more ships just to burn them?

And Angelina Jolie's CG boobs apparently defy gravity.

And honestly, is there any better way I could end this review that with that last statement?

Angelina Jolie's boobs can do anything they want. CG or not. They're amazing. Just like her lower lip.
