WARNING!

Do NOT, under any circumstances, no matter how much they bribe you or make you drink beforehand, go see Beowulf.

That was the worst piece of cinema I we've seen in years.... worse than Wing Commander, and possibly worse than The Chronicles of Riddick. Certainly worse than Van Helsing..!

This has been a Public Service Announcement from E3 & celtic_elk.

Amama ua noa. The prayer has flown.

Seriously. No matter how much you drink beforehand?

I was amazed to see RottenTomatoes has given it 71% approval, but I'm still taking your advice. There were decent reviews of Polar Express when it came out; a couple years later everyone agrees it was execrable. Zemeckis can ruin anything. Even, it seems, Neil Gaiman.

TMI section:
(although i kinda liked Van Helsing...)

Yeah; featherynscale enjoyed the hell out of Van Helsing, but even she thought this was definitely worse.

We had to go home and drink (and warn the Internets) immediately; I think if you could arrange a situation where no one actually had to pay for the copy, and there was plenty of booze on hand, it might make a decent Bad Movie Night film. Our entire theater was howling...
