Boston Globe ...the movie is hugely provocative fun, and I'm pretty sure that's on purpose. Ty Burr

Chicago Sun-Times ...there were eruptions of snickers here and there, but for the most part, the audience sat and watched the movie, not cheering, booing, hooting, recoiling, erupting or doing anything else unmannerly. Roger Ebert

Chicago Tribune An animated action epic you can feel in your loins. Matt Pais

filmcritic.com ...it runs about 45 minutes too long as a film... Jason Morgan

Reelviews Beowulf is designed first and foremost as a visual spectacle of the first degree. Judged in those terms, it is a resounding success. James Berardinelli

San Francisco Chronicle ...it's all about the visuals, which means that as soon as the novelty of 3-D wears off, the experience has been had. Mick LaSalle

Seattle Post-Intelligencer ...a thrilling visit to an alien time and place, devoid of a single dull moment... William Arnold

USA Today It's a lot more fun than the mythic adventure most of us read in school. Claudia Puig
