Cyclops (DVD)











You gotta love the old one-eyed beast.

Cyclops is one of the more fascinating mythological creatures. I remember being amazed at the beast whenever we read about him in mythology and always wanted to see him in his own film. Sure enough I got the chance recently on DVD! Now, when the most popular actor in a film is Eric Roberts, I don’t find myself getting excited. And when the most popular actor in the film (Roberts) acts with such blandness, it doesn’t make the film fare too well. In fact, most of the other actors in the film didn’t do too much better, except for Cyclops! Well he’s really a product of CGI, but still a main character! When the film started heading down the slope of extreme cheesiness, Cyclops came in and did some damage to make it a little interesting! I’d have to say he was the only interesting character in the film. In fact, they could have done without the cast, and just taped the entire movie with Cyclops wreaking havoc. If you have ever wanted to see the one-eyed beast in his own film, now is your chance. But like I was saying earlier, he’s the best actor of the entire cast. So if you're ok with watching a film where the best character is a CGI creation, then Cyclops should be just fine.
