michelvega Not the worst in the genre and not the best. The acting is better and I personally like Eric Balfour. The story is silly but reasonably well written. The visual effects are OK for the few there are. A little bit long at times, somewhat dull toward the end. No surprises. Still, I could stick with it to the end without too much will power. Usually, with this kind of movies, if I do watch them, I can be heavy on the fast forward control on the remote. Those evil glowing eggs are far from subtle. The movie could have worked as well without the glowing. The church looks derelict enough. (Here, I shall refrain from making a comparison with the real organization.) Once you've seen this flick, that's it. No more ever. Not that good.

Jan Strydom Delving back into the Sci-fi Channel's man eater series I found RISE OF THE GARGOYLES, an okay monster movie featuring above average acting and a reasonable storyline, my standards were considerably low because this film was directed by Bill Corcoran who also directed another man eater film called VIPERS and believe me if you've seen VIPERS, I won't blame you if you're hesitant about seeing this film.Fortunatly, this film is a whole lot better than VIPERS, its also not something I would tell the world about but at least its nowhere near as bad as VIPERS, the acting in this film is actually pretty good considering the material and the storyline is done well enough for the film to be entertaining.The CG effects are tough to judge because during the film the monster is barely seen and when it is seen, you never get a close up look at the monster its always shown from a distance, the one thing you can tell when you eventually see it, is that it is done with CGI.Overall, RISE OF THE GARGOYLES isn't something I would go out of my way to recommend but if there's nothing else to watch, then I recommend it

Koko Ko It quite an entertaining show and the story move on nicely and neatly. Basically, its about an ancient site under a church being accidentally uncovered and release those gargoyles that threatened to breed and to overrun the world. Violent murders took place and somehow a professor become a suspect. Finally, it is up to this professor that teamed up with a reporter and her crew and a priest to stop them. Sure, the special effects (on the gargoyles and the weird flickering eggs) might be a bit of let-down but other than that, i felt the overall package more or less deliver. There are quite a number of different scenes in the show too and ensures that it wont be so monotonous or get boring. Finally there was also your usual hero saving the day stuff and i like the somehow "boring" and "predictable" ending. I would rate it 7 out of 10. Cheers~

dbborroughs Workmen digging in Paris find a hidden passageway that leads to the burial place of a Gargoyle, a great winged monster that turns to stone in daylight. Its up to a professor and a few other people who know the truth to hunt the beast down before it reproduces.Better than most similar films works thanks to a better script, good effects, a good cast which doesn't seem to be working just for a buck and a director and crew who tried to turn out something other than a TV movie. I really liked this a great deal. I'm a monster nut, I love a good monster movie and will gladly sit down and watch anything with a monster. As a result I've sat through a good number of real turkey's many that premiered on the SyFy network. Most of the films seem to have been cobbled together just to make a buck. here there is none of that. We get real characters, some actors who give good performances and a sense that if the crew cares they may get to make another film. The love shows and you enjoy the movie.Certainly the plot and all that happens are ultimately rubbish, but at the same time its done well enough that you its 90 odd minutes you suspend your disbelief long enough that you end up hearing a good story.Worth a look.
