Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: Gargoyles descend demons to hell throughout the movie, in which the demons erupt in streams of fire
Slashing and slicing throughout and the demons try to possess animated corpses like Frankenstein who supposedly are soulless although Frankenstein actually has a soul
Fantasy violence though no blood and the demons aren't very well done or scary
Violence & Gore: Reanimated of a rat, fight scene where people burst in to flames & light, character sowing up a wound.
Profanity: One word of "dam"
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Demons may be scary, considering they're demonic members of an army led by the demon prince who tries to possess re-animated corpses with the descended spirits to take over the world as we know it
Story: Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans demon that what to destroy mankind & the gargoyles that have an oath to protect all life from evil, it become an all out war Adam (Eckhart) must choice a side.
Likes : I can see why critics have rip this film apart, because there was a couple of scene that were flawed but that was down to bad editing in the film but this was one three scene but its still not enough to get the negative review's this film got in america because this is a still a very good film.
its a film that you have to listen to the begin as the story is being told, if you miss this first part of the film you wont get the whole film its self because the begin is a very important part to get the story behind the film.
The story-line is a very powerful concept where angel's cant protect earth so the arch angel Michael created the very powerful gargoyles to protect mankind from evil, it this concept i think worked for the film because the whole angel thing has been done so many time, its refreshing to see a film that doesn't involve angels for a change.
I love the special effect special the transition from gargoyle to human form brilliant done as well as the demon's transformation although the demon didn't really look menacing the gargoyles looked better, Miranda Otto performance was powerful in this film as she play's the gargoyle queen Leonore who i think is a cross between gargoyle & arch angel just by her presence & posture she gives off, Jai Courtney was brilliant as well he really fitted the role of a gargoyle warrior Gideon, it's his posture & on screen presence that made him a brilliant fit as of what i could tell he was playing leonre right hand royal general/guard to the army, Yvonne Strahovski done a pretty good job with her role, although there was one scene i through was a little dumb with one line, but her performance was good, Bill Nighy you cant get a more finer actor than Bill Nighy, he plays these type of role with perfection special playing Naberius prince of hell, he on screen presence you can see he play someone that wont haste to take you out if you do something wrong or do something without orders, but the fight scene i think could of been a little better.
Now Aaron Eckhart not alot of people think he's a good actor or he plays role that don't suit him, but they are so far from being right, Aaron bring a brilliant performance as a frank castle's punisher concept to Frankenstein monster which make it better because not only do you see a monster but you see a man struggling to come to term with what he is but also has a attitude that he's life is he's own & no one control him, its a very believable performance.
The fight scene were awesome with the special effect i will say the gargoyle are a force to be reckon with like they have the strength of arch angel in them, it a clever way to tell a story of a war between heaven & hell.
But like i said this film doesn't deserve the negative reviews this film has received of the past few week from the critic & people, because the film as a whole is still a great film to watch.
Dislikes : two scene just after the begin there was a bit of bad editing the scene were cut to short between each other as they were jump to one scene then back to other scene then back again it didn't show a fluid motion in the film, the end fight scene i think could of been better.
Overall : Not a brilliant film but still a great film, good special effects & brilliant performance
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.3 out of 10 from story-line & special effect.
