The movie drags at some parts but I wouldn't say there are only two minutes of action. Let's see, there are one on one fights and larger scale battles, and I would say at least half an hour is devoted to them in total. Yes, there are conversations that set up the story. The action is over the top, but Beowulf is supposed to be an epic hero, so it looks and feels great. I saw the 3-D version but I know I would have enjoyed the normal as well. The animation seems less and less like a gimmick the more you watch it, but still left me feeling like I might have enjoyed it more if it were real actors.

Overall, the story was overhauled to bring everything together, which seemed to work pretty well.

I liked the movie and I recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy or action.
