Beowulf

Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 4

Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Skip It

Story Line: A warrior fights a monster and then faces the monster's mother, who is Angelina Jolie.

What's good: Angelina Jolie makes the movie watchable. The dragon fighting scene towards the end was good.

What's bad: I almost wanted to turn the movie off within 5 minutes. It is very much cartoon like. The movie is made through a few actors wearing computer nodes all over their face and body and acting on a blank set, then computer graphics does the rest of the work. The actual people look cartoonish in the movie.

Bottom line: Don't think you are going to see something similar to Lord of Rings. If you are into watching cartoons, this is good. It took me a long while trying to get used to this cartoonish movie watching.
