Are Grendel and Grendel's mother not monsters?
I would probably know if I watched the ads, but the animation annoys me so I FF.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Grendel looks like a human. Or at least she can when she chooses to.
A hot female human. With high heels.

I think Jennifer Aniston would say that they are.

the animation annoys me too, -t. it's like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make a movie or a video game. it's one i'll definitely be skipping.

I thought they were going for movie-type realism. Is it uncanny-valley-ish?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The TV spots aren't fully rendered versions -- according to the people I know who've seen it on the big screen, the animation looks phenomenal in theatres.
[eta: A big part of it is that it's animated primarily for Imax 3-d, which of course you can't see on TV.]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have free passes to it! Which is good, because I wouldn't see it otherwise.
Neil Gaiman has been very complimentary about the movie, but he kinda has to.

I still remember Neil Gaiman apologizing profusely for Neverwhere, where it was shot in video and then they never went back and doctored the footage like they said they would, which explained how crappy it looked because they had lit it and set it for a certain post-production effect.
He's involved in Beowulf? Oh.
