Manticore (2005 TV Movie)
3/10
Not the worst, but pretty bad.
9 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The gear of the U.S soldiers kind of bothered me how they were not wearing somewhat not correct gear. I also didn't like how the creature killed its victims in one slash in about 1 sec a person is killed, i mean couldn't there be a few seconds of screaming or at least some struggling? The special effects were pretty bad, every time the Manticore appeared it like a video game. The Blackhawk sent to evac the squad and civilians was quite bad too it also looked like a video game element. Also i don't understand why the soldiers had so little ammo, i mean first the M249 SAW gunner started shooting and then 1 second later at the next camera, he ran out of ammo. i mean what kind of gunner runs out of ammo, and all he has to do is take out another box, change it and then put the ammo belt in taking less than a minute for a trained soldier.

I also didn't like how the creature killed off nearly the entire cast, including the civilians save for the kid. I mean even kill off the camera crew. I also didn't like how the creature was invulnerable TO EVERYTHING. i mean sure creature has to be strong but thats TOO DAMN STRONG how can it survive a bomb that decimated an entire village, as well as how bax survived the explosion.
