Hmm, obviously a mistake but still sort of amusing: on the IMDB page for Beowulf, Ray Winstone is listed as “Drunken Thane,” not the title character. Apparently nobody was Beowulf.

As to the movie itself…eh, it was okay. I saw it in IMAX, which is unusual for me, and I don’t know if that’s part of why I feel oddly disconnected from what I saw. I didn’t dislike the movie, but I can’t help thinking that maybe Tasha Robinson is right that the animation, the decision to make this an animated movie, is the heart of what’s wrong with it.
