Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your hero? In my opinion the Beowulf movie was a thumbs up‚ due to Angelina Jolie’s use of seduction and female wiles.

Both the movie and book of Into the Wild explore the adventure that Chris McCandless takes‚ while the book focuses on comparing Chris to other people and the relationships he had‚ the movie focuses specifically on the life story and adventure of Chris McCandless‚ therefore the movie is better than the book.

It’s amazing how Sean Baker can create a movie with such a low budget
