Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

ithinkmyemailaddressis How do I describe this movie, that so many have so eloquently and poignantly done so, preceding me, using several syllable words, that I think only deserves singles? Like "Barf.Plot is thinner than steam-on-a-window and the CGI is just bloody awful. (Anyone remember Alien where you didn't really get to see the monster? How'd it ever sell? Try the original Cat People for a real thrill...) How did this crap get made? It's right up there with other lame one in the Iraqi desert with the Chicotay begging for scraps after his gig was over in outer space, which I believe ran the night before on Space.Oh, yeah, probably my Canadian tax dollars, hard at work!

arbspam62 I love "B" movies.. and i don't care for many of the sci-fi channel "Made for TV" ones..But this one was o.k.The humor (intentional) added a light-hearted aspect that kept it entertaining.The special effects were typical "Sci-Fi" channel cgi..The acting was better than some.. but not Oscar nomination material.The story was decent.....Rate it 6 out of 10.. not a bad way to kill some time.My wife thinks i'm insane for watching movies like this... but hey... we all find entertainment in different forms.. I remember one of my fondest memories growing up was watching Saturday Afternoon "B" sci-fi movies with my father on the local independent channel (WUAB out of Cleveland.).. this brought back some fond memories.

em89072002 The Plot: While going about ordinary outdoor/sports-related activities, a young man/the lead character encounters a monster that kills people, and he must defeat it to survive. To achieve this task, he convinces the local town's people to help him. A young woman also helps him and they develop a sweet little romance in the course of vanquishing the monster.This plot description for ROCK MONSTER also applies to several other Sci-Fi 'original' movies such as OGRE, BEYOND LOCH NESS, and ICE SPIDERS. In other words, none of these movies produced for the Sci-Fi channel are that original; they're formulaic.These are G or at most PG type movies. There is not much if any blood/gore, a very innocent romance (no skin/not even kissing), and a monster that looks like some cheap plastic creature you'd find in a happy meal from a fast food restaurant.Although there isn't much substance to these movies, they also aren't the worst movies out there --- that's not an endorsement, just a statement of fact. Here, the visual and audio departments are competent; you can both see and hear these movies. And, for the most part the acting is fair enough. Finally, the movie does have a story line even though it goes in a predictable linear direction.Some Sci-Fi 'original' movies like KAW or BATS: HUMAN HARVEST are slightly better (4 on a scale of 10) because the monster/threat is more believable. But, again, the plots tend to be borrowed, predictable and the hero always seems to defeat the monster, albeit with that final gimmick that leaves the question: is it really over?

SVU14_1 That's a very good question...Basically, this movie is about a group of American (and one British) college kids hiking in an Eastern European forest. They find an old sword embedded in a boulder, the hero (Jason) pulls it out. Upon arriving at a local village, the villagers are immediately frightened and angry at the kid who was the sword. Then we learn the sword unleashed the spirit of an evil wizard from the Middle Ages who comes back in the form of a walking pile of rocks. Then there's this really creepy guy with a stereotypical Eastern European name (Dimetri or something) who's incredible nice to the kids and then he turns out to be a madman who wants the evil wizard's powers! Oh and did I mention that the American kid who pulled out the sword is the descendant of the knight in shining armor who killed the wizard in the Middle Ages? Now the kids together with a militia of the village people must join forces to save the village from the Rock Monster! AH! It was beyond predictable and I can't even call it low budget because of the heavy use of special effects (which is by far the only thing that allows me to give this movie 3 stars). The lines are cheesy, the back story is also very vague and the flashback to it: incredibly bad. The actors were okay (except for the modern-day bad guy who honestly over acted) but the movie itself was poorly written. The ending, which I will not give away was also pretty lame and believe it or not it does leave room for a sequel (which I don't know why anyone would want to do).All in all, it is a Sci-Fi movie (but you'd think they' make some entertaining ones). Watch if you want (attempt to at least). It's better than Hybrid but not that good.
