SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

D M Contrary to the impression from the ratings, this is an enjoyable film to settle down to. It's not top notch at all, but it's not bad either. If you don't mind the premise of a vast monster living in a mountain, give it a try.

Paul Magne Haakonsen The DVD cover for this movie does look quite nice, and it does reflect the movie, in a sense. By that, I mean the monster is there, yes, the people are there, yes, but that level of danger and life-threatening situation never was present in the entire movie.The story in "Behemoth" is about a small town that is located in the mountains, where they always have experiences small trembles in the ground. However, recently these tremblings have grown in intensity and frequency, and fissures of carbon monoxide is starting to appear throughout the mountains. Something has awoken beneath the mountains, and people are about to find out.Storywise, then this is a standard monster movie by the run-of-the-mill given this is a SyFy Channel movie. So, if you are familiar with their movies, then you know exactly what you will get here.The creature itself actually looked good and was nicely animated; good CGI effects and it came off as believable - well aside from its sheer size.There were some really bad plot holes in this movie. First of all, where would a creature of this size have been lurking underneath the ground? It just doesn't make any sense for it to never have been detected before. And also, given the size of its body, just what would it have been eating and sustaining itself by? It just doesn't add up anywhere. Furthermore, the military had no idea what they were dealing here, but still they had managed to build a weapon to destroy it and knew that it was the ONLY thing that could destroy it. So the military works by psychics now? And finally, why would the Behemoth, with its massive size, be concerned about eliminating a few pesky humans on the mountain? Surely it wouldn't even notice them, much less bother with them as humans would be insignificant gnats in comparison to its bulk and size.And throughout the entire movie, there weren't really any moments where you felt that anyone was at risk or in danger in any kind of way. The was no proper atmosphere to the movie, or at least the director failed to establish such a feeling.As for the people on the cast list, well they were doing good enough jobs, however, there were times where the acting came off as wooden and simply not believable. Especially when confronted with the revealing of the Behemoth - there weren't just any sense of dread or hopelessness. It was just like they were 'ah so what, this happens every day in USA' and just shrugged it off. I am pretty sure that a mountain-sized tentacled monster would install a paralyzing fear in most people, or at least send them fleeing for their very lives."Behemoth" is good enough entertainment for what it is, a simplistic monster movie that is predictable and follows the 'how to make a gargantuan monster movie' page-by-page.I am rating the movie a 4 out of 10 stars simply because of the creature effects - it was the one that carried the bulk of the movie, in more than one way, pardon the pun.

Theo Robertson I thought this was going to be a remake of the 1950s British B movie THE GIANT BEHEMOTH and certainly the info button stated that the premise involved a giant monster terrorising London which as it turned out was misleading mendacity . The opening scene mirrors the opening of that film with the action transferred from the Coprnish coast of England to the forests of Canada but that's the only connection to that B movie which was at least entertaining . The problem with this movie is that it's extremely boringAfter a geologist is killed nothing of any note takes place for half the running time . Nothing . All that happens is that we're introduced to one supporting character after another after another . They are of course the type of characters you'd expect to see in a daytime soap opera or in a TVM with no nuance or idiosyncratic traits . The characters are so inoffensive they're almost painful and it's hard for any audience to feel any emotion towards them one way or another which sums up this film perfectly

Zapi Sisma First of all people gotta know that behemoth here doesn't look anything like behemoth in Heroes of Might and Magic III. One would think that is the definitive and cannon imagining of him. Here, he's a huge monster living under the whole Earth core, and he looks krakeny, only with a head of a fugly prehistoric bird. Like some other SyFy movies, the theme is ecological. Last year it was Wyvern being freed from the polar ice because of the global warming, this year behemoth is here to destroy the civilization cause people are bad to the planet. Ecology plus 2012. Actuality! We are being warned about this by the father of our hero, who is according to everyone crazy, but we don't really see it, and who is played by the cigarette smoking man from X Files. Our hero has a sister too old as his daughter might be, stubborn and half doable. His old love is here too being a geologist and wearing her shirt unbuttoned letting us see her lace underwear, and of course being sent to investigate weird seismological happenings. Atmosphere is OK, north north American half Northern Exposure, and they are constantly outdoors, which is generally great in SyFy movies, they're not constantly in boring headquarters and labs. It's a fun movie, but the production is better than usual with decant effects. But still when the behemoth shuts his mouth, the sound is that of hood being shut. Our hero is to phlegmatic and static. There was a scene of a proposal, and my eyes teared. Cool movie, big tentacles, earthquakes, monsters, random half black pussy Jessica Parker Kennedy.
