"I am Beowulf!!"
"This is Sparta!!"
For starters, I've been told by my history major and english minor fiance that the "I am Beowulf" line is straight out of the original poem, so everyone can quit with the ripping off 300 crap. The trailer may make it seem that way, but I doubt a poem that's hundreds of years old was ripping off a movie released this year.

Anyway, a friend of mine who's opinion on movies I trust implicitly saw it last weekend and told me it was absolutely amazing. Therefore, I will be seeing this this weekend, and will likely enjoy it a great deal.

Also, wierdness factor of a CG Anjelina Jolie aside, I don't think they could have done it with real actors. Real actors with CG monsters has a tendency to look a little cheesie 90% of the time, even when very well done. The best movies mix live actors and CG monsters fairly sparingly, and from what I've heard, it just wouldn't have suited what they did in this movie.
