Almost as many cheesy 3D effects as the Muppets in 3D show at DisneyMGM!<BR/><BR/>But definitely worth going to see.<BR/><BR/>PS to the folks who have monocular vision: I came VERY close to joining you; took a spear to the faceplate at an SCA event, which shattered my glasses lens (who knew that "safety" glass could shatter?). Thanks to a VERY talented surgeon at Pittsburg EYe and Ear, however, my sight was saved... and I now wear nothing but polycarbonate glasses and am VERY paranoid about my sight. So I do sympathize with you as I came very close to joining you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-82785834297277632962007-12-06T16:32:00.000-06:002007-12-06T16:32:00.000-06:00I know exactly what you mean.

You wouldn't know I was a cyclops by looking at me. It can be annoying at times but since I've never known anything different I cope quite easily. I can't see like everyone else through binoculars for instance. My depth perception must be different than everyone else but I wouldn't know. I can still hit and catch a ball but I use time and different visual cues other than depth.<BR/><BR/>I'm shut out of the 3D movie world though which bugs me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-40480476129301377282007-12-05T18:29:00.000-06:002007-12-05T18:29:00.000-06:00I saw the flat screen version and was also favorab...I saw the flat screen version and was also favorably impressed. <BR/><BR/>Although I thought Hrothgar missed an opportunity to boast that he ate Fafnir's liver with some lentils and a nice horn of mead.<BR/><BR/>I also appreciated how Beowulf suffered from the same issues that Bill Clinton had when discussing his golf score.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, though, Princess Buttercup should never have dumped Wesley for a Dane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-54353096178045831542007-12-05T15:10:00.000-06:002007-12-05T15:10:00.000-06:00Probably as close to the original as was "Tin Man"...Probably as close to the original as was "Tin Man" [on the Sci-Fi channel] to the "Wizard of Oz".<BR/>Of course, once upon a very long time ago I was an English teacher, and had "Beowulf" as a grad course.<BR/>Olde ForceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-90898452064892835732007-12-05T15:04:00.000-06:002007-12-05T15:04:00.000-06:00I didn't actually see it, but from what I saw on t...I didn't actually see it, but from what I saw on the movie board at the mall, the was a non-3D version as well....and when it comes out on DVD, I doubt that it will be 3D, they usually aren't.
