You certainly don't hear that statement very often.

Well, Simone de Beauvoir was the ugliest philosopher to ever live...

I just saw it today. I was disappointed. It was really shallow and cheesy, but I expected that, and went into it thinking that this one would just all be about visual flair, so I was looking forward to that. I saw it in 3D, so that was pretty cool. But they spent to long trying to make it a good deep movie! There was so much that was so cheesy about it. Not even fun action movie cheesy, just embarassing. I already knew that it would turn the classic story into a big messy action movie with lots of visual effects, so I wish that they had accepted that fate and put their all into making it as visually exciting as they could. The moments that WERE like that were really cool, but there were too many scenes that made me bored and annoyed. If you're going to ruin a good story, ruin it with something that's at least exciting. I'd rather watch a bad action movie than a cheesy soap opera-ish movie.
Cool part though was how at some points, Grendel was speaking middle English.

Was he? That's wierd, because Beowulf isn't in Middle English.

Old English!
Is the correct one. I'm pretty sure.
Did I make another mistake?
