Beowulf

Over the weekend I watched the movie 'Beowulf: Director's Cut', and I didn't really like it.
I give the dvd three stars out of five stars.
The movie and the extras were entertaining enough for me to actually sit there and watch all the way through but afterwards I didn't feel inspired by it.
I don't know for sure but I think there have been plays and other movies about the poem Beowulf but I hope they were better than this one.
If your not sure what the movie is about then you would be better off reading a translation of the poem.
I would imagine that you could find a free copy of it somewhere online since you can find almost anything else online.
The movie is all animated!
Why did they do that it all in animation?
Granted, its all animated to look very real but you can stil tell its animated.
Its animated but its not a children's movie for sure.
Also, the extras weren't that bad but Angelina Jolie does not appear in any of the extras of the film.
Why is that?
Anthony Hopkins and Forrest Gump appear in the extras but Angelina Jolie is too famous apparently.
