Beowulf Movie Review

In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements In side of meat MOVIE REVIEW Of BEOWULF Merry Anjela M. MendozaSeptember 16, 2011 Ms. m be Dolores Fiao-ag Introduction Beowulf is an epic from England. It is a story of a live on man who killed many monsters and died defending from a dragon. It is also a outstanding story of adventure. From an old English rime, it became a 3D word picture with the faces of concrete actors and actresses. Although there has a difference from the original poem, it quiet down showed great and it attracted wide audiences. end-to-end the characterisation review, I gave my own opinions about the motion-picture show especially in the set up, how the characters played their map, and how they captured the eye of the audiences. delineation Review The Movie Beowulf is a three dimensional movie directed by Robert Zemeckis. It was inspired by an Ancient English poem and known as the epic of England. Unlike the other 3D movies, the characters here are found from the faces of documentary artists. The settings played on Denmark, A. D. 507. The movie was released on November 16, 2007.My Opinion For me, the use of real faces of the artists is nice and the railroad sidings matched the role of the characters especially for the role of Grendel who has a per createance capture suit which represents a sad creature. His face and organic structure was altered to fit his role. I also like the look of Grendels mother which was Angelina Jolie with her golden fitted outfit but I dont understand why does she is wearing a high heels which was non yet popular during that times. The Expected AudiencesBeowulf was rated as PG-13 which means that all people are allowed to watch the movie but children below thirteen years old must be disposed(p) a agnate guidance due to many violences including disturbing depictions and sexual interruptions.

D. , and it is the oldest surviving flip-flop of Englishliterature. The general events of the poem were adapted into an lightaction-adventure moviein2007. But there are many changes in this movie from the real epic which is not unsloped for me because they must show the real essence of this epic tale. For the scene transitions, for me nothing is wrong and everything was just made right. The Cinematography At the source time I saw the movie, I thought that the characters here are real but it was genuinely an animated movie.The light and special effects are great especially when Grendel attacked the hall which brought a circuit of intense. I also like how they covered Beowulfs manhood in many scenes in this movie. Also, for me, the fight between Beowulf and the Dragon was a great scene especially when they fight in the mid air and the Dragon was shot by hundreds of arrows. The look of the past can be seen with the images but it lacks the essence of the vision, the antediluvian stones, and the sacral light which are essential recrudesce for a tragic tale.But besides that, it still looks great and every scene was taken carefully that keeps their audiences attached to the movie. The Music Background For me, the soundtrack was not that entire but the sound effects throughout the movie are really nice. I cant even remember the soundtrack or the music played in this movie. So it is really a great factor that every director must consider so that the audiences will be keeping in touch with the movie. Conclusion I therefore conclude that Beowulf movie, as a whole, is a great animated epic tale with just some revisions from the original one is still a great movie and very fun to watch.Mr. Robert Zemeckis and the other producers and casts had job surface through with(p). They were able to show the audiences the story of a brave man who fought and died in killing monsters. Vocabularies 1. Mead- a fermented beverage made of water and honey, malt, and yeast 2.

Movie Review The Movie Clash of the Titans is a 2010 fantasy film which is a remake of the 1981 film of the same name. It is about the Greek story of Perseus, a demi god and it was directed by Louis Leterrier. The film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010. It was later announced that the film would be converted to 3-D and expected release on April 2, 2010 My Opinion For me, the story was really great but actors did not portray their roles well. They can deliver the lines well but they lack of emotions.Just like Beowulf, Clash of the Titans remake had also differences from the original and for me it is not a big deal unlike the other comments that I had red that they always compare it to the original one and they say that it had no famed delivery. The Expected Audiences Clash of the Titans was rated as PG-13 w hich means that all people are allowed to watch the movie but children below thirteen years old must be given a parental guidance due to fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief sensuality.

It was actually a 2D movie but it was later converted in 3D. Inmy research, Leterrier approached the studio archean on about a 3D conversion but it was expensive and very new technology. afterAvatar, the studio put pressure on Leterrier to convert the film. He was worried because of his previous concerns but was positive(p) after seeing the Vie w-D conversion process. The transitions of scenes are good but sometimes it is boring to watch because some lacks emotion.The Cinematography The cinematography by Peter Menzies Jr is nicely done, adding some gorgeous scenery to the mythological clean opera. Louis Leterrier handles the directing task equally well, proving up to the job of helming a big production. The one major rate with Perseus riding Pegasus through Argos chasing down the flying henchbeasts is simply beautiful. But some scenes look very brainsick to me and lacks of suspense and intense. Despite its general failure, some scenes fromClash of the Titansremain memorable. Chief among them is the duel with Medusa, a scene that ripples with tension.Sadly, the battle with the Kraken lacks a similar sense of danger. The Music Background The music background and the sound effects are good making it exciting, and adding atmosphere to the Greek mythological aspect of the film. The soundtracks are well suited to the scenes but Im finding more suspense in some scenes especially in battles. Conclusion As a summary, Clash of the Titans movie contain a really great story, and has good visual and sound effects. I really like the action scenes which are really great. But the acting is mercurial, some are good, and some are bad.The director brought nothing really new that will make us amaze, but aside from these, everything was perfect. Vocabularies 1.
