Robert Zumeckis sure knows how to make a movie. Not a good movie, not a bad movie, but simply a movie. If there was ever another movie like Beowulf that was the complete epitome of average, well, I don’t know, I’ve probably seen it and completely forgotten about it by now. That being said, I’m fairly confident that Beowulf is not a movie that will be remembered in half a year, nine months tops. If you want to know my it’s so mediocre, then be my guest and read on. Otherwise, you can overlook the rest of this review just as much as you can overlook this movie.

So when I had heard that Tony Jaa had another movie out, I had to give it a looking at.
