The New Beowulf movie.
Dimmukane:
Gaiman wasn't the only screenwriter, and it kinda shows. I wouldn't mind it's negligence to the original story (which I believe was Gaiman's intention), if it weren't for all the crap that was thrown in there quite clearly by the other guy. Gaiman wouldn't write in a ten-minute running gag about Beowulf being naked and conveniently 'covered' by candles, swords, food, furniture, people, etc.
TheFuriousWombat:
That scene kinda makes you wonder how many times the writers watched The Simpson's Movie.
Thrillho:
Honestly I thought this film's 'unique' production style was utterly pointless. 'We motion captured these actors performing these entire scenes and then computer animated them.'
...WHY?
Quite apart from which, I don't actually think the animation looks very good. It's not human enough to look realistic, and it's not computery enough to just look computery.
TheFuriousWombat:
Wait wait wait, guys I cleared up the whole "how is Beowulf the dragon's father?" thing. Really it's quite simple. So, you see, instead of killing Grendel's mother, Beowulf just has lots and lots of sex with her. She makes him, you see. Plus she can shape shift. Obviously the kid of a He-man-esque Norse warrior and a really horny shape shifting monster/woman thing would be a dragon. I'm glad it makes sense after all.
Orbert:
I just figured that since the mom is a demon, most demons can shape-shift anyway, and we were specifically shown that she can shape-shift, that it would follow that her offspring could shape-shift as well. We don't exactly know that Beowulf's child was a dragon; what we know is that the creature was in the form of a dragon. If you're planning on doing some serious damage, you take the form of something huge that can fly and breathe fire, right?
