Reign of the Gargoyles (2007 TV Movie)
1/10
What an awful movie.
25 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This movie has an amateurish script with similar acting from most of the characters, both of which are enhanced by lousy directing. Only a lousy director would allow such crap to make it to the screen. For example, the protagonists (I refuse to use the word "hero") win a fire-fight against a group of Germans, killing them on sight, however, when the German leader shoots the respect US leader and holds a gun at a distance on the dying leader, they don't shoot him immediately, they wait until the German can call them a bunch of "flyboys". Elsewhere, three US soldiers recon a building, one of them doesn't have gun, so he picks up a rock, and the three have a noisy discussion about it.

The movie is riddled with horrible attempts to rally the audience. The special affects of the gargoyles are pretty good, but that is attributable to modern CG. Oddly, the young gargoyles are made of "flesh" (how?), but still explode with shot with any kind of ammo.

The story is riddled with stupid stories, the AF gunner that wants to be a pilot, the a-hole that becomes a leader and, most "impressively", can identify top-secret document within 1 second of seeing it.

Even for a bad movie, this is really bad. 88 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
