Beowulf

Someone needs to stop Robert Zemeckis. He managed to take one of the greatest epics the world has ever known – and a fairly OK script, once you get past the idea that it’s not really the Beowulf that you had to read in high school English – and transformed it into a terrible attempt at motion-capture animation. This was back in 2007, when motion-capture was still in its infancy, but Beowulf is a particularly bad example of the technology. The lifeless eyes of the characters are exceeded only by their lifeless speeches and not even Angelina Jolie walking around in gold stilettos could save what was an absolute train wreck.
