..... looks ..... well ..... a lot like this, I guess? I don't know, just not quite what I was expecting - and what was I expecting? I don't know that either, just that it wasn't this!

What, I'm supposed to make sense now?

I saw that - perhaps the story will be good then even if the visuals leave me a bit blaaaaaah?

I couldn't see this trailer very well - it kept stopping and starting and skipping - but I have seen a couple in theatres recently. I don't understand why this one is even being made, considering there was a Beowulf movie out within the past two years, which seemed to have more to do with the story than this one. It was also beautifully shot and the characters were not 'good' or 'evil' but a combination.

Another Beowulf movie - that's why I was confused because I didn't think Beowulf was going to be CGI (animated, whatever it's called) and yet this one is. Thank you for clearing up the mystery for me.

In my cynical opinion, this one looks as if it's just an excuse to have Angelina Jolie without clothes!

That thought did cross my mind!

It looks crappy and it pisses me off. Beowulf is one of my favorite stories of all time and they're screwing it up.

Is there another one coming out soon? I'm sure I read about a live action version (which is one of the reasons the trailer confused me) but imdb only gives me Beowulf: Prince of the Geats (http://imdb.com/title/tt0455348/) as upcoming and that doesn't sound like it either. I'm confused again (still)!

Oh and Petrelli for the Lodge in 2007 (that's the Australian version of "Petrelli for the White House", btw)!
