AWESOME

Dr. Hannibal Lector is da ****!

This is what you call an all star cast, superb. Can't wait to play this one.

I'll pass on this one.

Anthony hopkins was born a few streets from where i live here in wales

Maybe it is just me, but it seems from the TV commercials that most of the men in this movie have faces that look like women. What is up with that?

What is this crap!!!

Angelina is stupid hot, even animated.

yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

No Angelina Jolie? =(

Anthony Hopkins is great in any movie, but I'll have to wait for the reviews on this one.

Gotta love Anthony hopkins. Few can match his talents.

The original material was not a novel. Even if that were true, it by no means is the first.
Folks commenting should, at the very least, google the subject first.

Brendan Gleeson rules.

I like Lord of the Rings, but I am not interested in this movie in the least.

ok ....umm.....is this good or bad?

Oh yeah, I can't wait to defend the old mead hall. *rolleyes*

Anthony Hopkins adds a touch of class to any project he's involved in. This game just got more promising.

Except for Alexander. I threw up a little while watching that movie. Angelina looked hot though.

Hopkins=Amazing movie. Thats the truth too.

Isn't he 108, now?

Looks OK, but with Anthony Hopkins it just got better...

Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ray Winstone! Wow, it's surprising to see games getting such great actors in for voice acting!

Beowulf is a fantastic poem, but I can't see the film or the game living upto it.

Could rank up there with Spider Man 2, Return of the King and Riddick.

oh wow ubi is behind this too, surprise, surprise. that also means it should be well designed and follow the story very closely. if its anything like how they worked out King Kong, we should all expect nothing short of a brilliantly well designed game.

Least EA isn't making the video game..it might have a chance on being a good game or at least decent one.

Considering the book is very graphic, and that its meant for an older audience (even though they make High School kids read it because it was one of the first ever novels) and to see them bump the movie down to PG-13 I will not see it. They showed promise in early showings, with the actual nude goddess figure, pieces of creature flying and what not. Now not so much. The monster Grendel was an ogre like twisted freak, and they DISMEMBERED him with bloody satisfaction, as he continued to fight with his limbs being hacked off. Shame on them for trying to squeeze a few extra bucks outta this film, this truly could have been the next 300, but they dumbed down the material.

Personally, I love the technology used for the Beowulf movie and game, but I'm not a fan of the style of either one. Maybe I haven't delved deep into older fantasies, but it just doesn't pull me in as much as something like Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, or even Pan's Labyrinth. Hopefully, it's ambitious scope can at least make up for Grendel's mediocre character design (or have we not seen him yet?).

ill rent it or something.

The movie doesn't make me jump for joy, and the game isn't doing much to sway my opinion...Hopefully though, the voice talents won't be put to waste and this game will turn out decent.

yeah, i hope he's as good as sean bean was in oblivion! : )

Slowly but surely, amazing talent is seeping it's way into our, at one time, small world of gaming. I know that this game is attached to a movie and Hopkins was probably only introduced to the game after agreeing to be in the film but this still is only good news. Talented writing, acting, and just general story telling is really noticed in a game when it's done well. Also, when the storyline and characters are represented and played so well it make's a games lifespan much longer. I love next-gen graphics and gameplay but what I'm really excited about now is the quality of the fiction I'm going to experience. It seems that by now developers should able to pull off the gameplay unless their publisher pushs out the game too quickly but the story will always be the hardest thing to give life to.

Well, at least it'll sound good. Being a movie game means it's doomed.

haha nice.

yeah, GUN had a highly touted voice cast too..

Has potential.

Sir Annnttttthhhhony Hopkins! (if anyone gets the Mark Kermode reference)

They have all these great actors doing voices in games, which is great, now they need to have the guys who animate charcters take some acting classes. Models often ruin the link between voice and action because are out of sync and/or lacking emotion and life.

It's always nice to get good voice acting in a game. So many now days lack that. Of course if the script is bad, it's not going to reflect well on the actors. I have to disagree with lukey####, the movie and game are being codeveloped, and even if it was based soley on the movie, that fact alone does not a suckee game make.

this could be an awesome sword/medievil game but because its based on a movie it will suck

hmm.
