I went to see Beowulf last night, in my latest effort to avoid doing any study in the evenings. It was awful shite altogether (though I'll admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it). The animation was unconvincing, the dialogue was cheesy, Ray Winstone was made to look like a buff Seán Bean. For some reason I had it in my head going in that the film had gotten an 18 certificate, so I was disappointed at the not-very-graphic nature of the violence and positively angry that they kept hiding Beowulf's willy behind candlesticks and such when he was fighting naked with Grendel.
Because there's just not enough violence and willy in films these days.
