Not Coming to a Theater Near You
There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.

Possibly the most dialectically confused film ever made- Ray Winstone’s hero is solid East End, while Crispin Glover’s awesomely pitiable Grendel appears to be speaking Old English. In between you’ve got Anthony Hopkins’ Yank- inflected Welsh, Angelina Jolie’s Polish-Australian-American-General Witch, Robin Wright Penn’s I’m-American-but-trying-not-to-be, and good old John Malkovich, whose accent barely registers because his mouth is too full up with scenery. But it looks sort of pretty, and moves at a lick, so there’s not a great deal to complain about, besides the general weirdness of the whole motion capture thing. Either the technology improves, or this is going to get old pretty fast.

As I was sitting in the theater, 3D glasses firmly affixed to my head, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just paid ten dollars to watch a video game.
