Review – Reign of the Gargoyles

When I was a kid I used to absolutely love Weird War comics. That mix of combat and horror suited my tastes to a T. Even this far into my adulthood I’m still more than a little bit of a sap for this kind of thing. As a result, I probably liked this tale of gargoyles unleashed by the Nazis a bit more than I should have. To be sure, it has some weak points. The story sometimes digresses into the kind of character-development backwaters common in two-fisted tales of manly deeds. As usual, that’s completely unwelcome in a production that is for the most part content to thrive on war and horror movie clichés. And the special effects are strictly Xbox. However, the premise is bush-league clever and the telling of the tale is not without charms. As long as one doesn’t come in expecting too much, it’s possible to emerge entertained. Mildly amusing
