Beowulf: Could it be an all time low?

Well, I had my first glimpse at a full scene from the movie Beowulf today. It was painful.
All I'm going to say for now is, from what I saw, the movie is going to fall into the 'suffocate yourself for 20 minutes before going to watch it, so that you will be able to swallow the movie's complete abandonment of common sense' category, but will also fall into the 'you will want to suffocate yourself until you die after you see it' sub-category. At least it's consistent.
I dunno. Maybe the people in charge of making it were being suffocated when they were writing it. If not, they should have been.
