Attack of the Gryphon (2007)

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.

Well, it has been a while ago, since i've seen a movie put together so awful. This is beyond any way to produce a movie. I don't like to bash movies, but this is a sad happening.For instance, the Gryphon flies with its wing through buildings. People fall dead before even being touched. I guess the budget has been around the $1000,- to produce this movie.Its hard to continue looking, but the very first 10 minutes are funny. When seeing the Gryphon enter the screen, i hoped it was only for the intro. But nothing was more real. The surrealistic Gryphon remained as "less-realistic" as in the openings shot of the movie.Concluding : This is a waste of time and money.

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?

I am surprised that I haven't heard about any lawsuit yet against the filmmakers, I mean they even stole the Path of the Death from Lord of the Rings! I am sure this one ends up in my top 250 of worst movies, maybe even at number one. O gosh, I hardly have words to explain how bad this is.Bad acting, bad script : I have seen bad movies, for sure, but this one is so bad that beside my laughs about stupidities and terrible visual effects I felt eternal regret for even buying the movie on DVD.... result, I dumped it in the garbage can, glad to have never ever watch this again.I really won't recommend it to anyone at all. I would feel guilty forever, afraid of loosing my best movie pals.
