hyped garbage

Fresh and Exciting

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Some of the scenery is nice. There are some scenes with lots of extras which look as if they've come from another film. There is a generic sword and sorcery plot. The great Sarah Douglas (Ursa in the Superman movies) is in it. Larry Drake plays another in a series of hammy villains. There is a bloke in it called LaPaglia who looks a bit like Anthony LaPaglia but who isn't Anthony LaPaglia (I'm guessing it's his brother or son or something). Amber Benson, who was something or other in Buffy, and who seems to appeal to some people, is in it.And the Gryphon is the worst bit of CGI I've ever seen - and, believe me, I have seen some bad CGI. It doesn't look even vaguely real, and it doesn't look even slightly integrated into the background plates.Vast numbers of people whose names end in -escu were involved in this film.

I don't remember seeing a worse movie than Gryphon. This movie had it all : uninteresting summary, characters that didn't even bother to act decent in this so-called sci-fiction production, weak effects. I wasted 2 hours from my life watching this piece of crap. This movie finds his place at the bottom of the worst movies ever. Watching this film, I wanted to laugh because of its poor quality, but the movie couldn't even bring a smile on my desolated face. I can't stop wondering who can give this movie more than 1 star????? If you thing this garbage is worth more than 1 star, i recommend you to watch it again and you will certainly change your vote. I urge you not to watch this movie. 1/10.

Duh... I think I'm as good as Jackson!I have this nifty software called M$ Paint.. a friend has a hacked copy of Adobe something or other on his apple IIc.. and we have a tiny budget we managed to con some sucker out of investing so I can make an epic masterpiece too!Now reality sets in that this movie is epic for sure.. in the sheer level of horrifying bad quality.. the only saving grace is the locations used for filming (and they were used due to lower cost for filming).The CGI is so pathetic it makes Southpark look like it's cutting edge "realism".. Honestly I'd be beyond ashamed to be associated with this POS in any form.. If any of you remember bad special effects from 70's flicks etc then this will remind you of such.. but it's far far worse. And at least the films back then had the excuse of lacking the methods we have now.. there is no excuse for this now though.I actually watched this due to Amber Benson being cast in it... and she can act as has been previously proved... However given the drivel of this script (and script should be taken with a box of salt!) and the inane crap from the director she had no chance.In the end I have three pieces of advice:1) Amber Benson... FIRE YOUR AGENT ASAP & then call Joss up and ask for a real part!2) Anyone thinking of watching this movie please hit your head off the nearest hard object until the thought of such goes away... trust me it'll hurt less.3) For the Director, Writers and others responsible for this film... please remove yourselves from the gene pool immediately... we already have enough stupidity in this world without your trying to spread yours around as well...Ultimately this film is one everyone should run away from.. as far and as fast as they possibly can! Maybe I should bill the director/writers for my therapy needed after this experience?

OK. So I rented this one for an evening's mind pablum fully realizing it was going to be sub-par. But, seriously folks, This barely makes sub-par. Nobody seemed to be having a good time int he film except for the rather comical villain who looked about as sinister as the Pillsbury Doughboy. Even the chic witches that were his consorts and nefarious accomplices in evil were hard to take seriously. In fact, the only believable guys who brought anything at all to their roles were the two side-kicks to the Prince and Princess. Well, I knew it was going to be far less than epic fare but it would have been nice to have a bit more effort by the writers in the story-line, some more acting lessons for the cast and some better CGIs for the monster Gryphon.
