Well, having just watched it, since I had to work last night and set the DVR to record it, I have to say I'm all with the Gryphon-y goodness!. This was a fine and noble variation upon the themes of my favorite film genre i.e, the 1980's sword/sorcery fantasy adventure film. You don't need all manner of digital jiggery-pokery to tell an old-fashioned tale of knights, princesses, winged beasties, and villainous power-mad sorcerors who have agendas all their own. A more elegant tale for a more civilised age, perhaps, "Gryphon" has all the hallmarks of good wholesome family entertainment; the kind of fairytale that has been passed down through the generations of numerous cultures since man climbed down from the trees, ventured out of the caves, and crawled out of the sea for the first time. Amber really had a marvelous time playing the role of a princess who was also a well-seasoned warrior as well. Amelia was the sort of character whom young females could look up to and aspire to be like as a role model as she possesses any number of positive character traits. Loyalty, bravery, independence, nobility, passion, devotion, the ability to use her feminine wiles. Amber was in a rich and splendorous environment and got to ride a horse, fight duels with swords, wear a suit of armor, and engage in other classic elements of the Norse and Celtic legends. The tent scene deserves to have a moment of reverent silence paid to it so betides that scene. The legends always involve a prophecy which tells of a child of royal blood who will unite the kingdoms and rule them in peace and harmony. This child is the trump card that the sorceror cannot beat as his chosen queen has already given herself to one she loves. Amber stood proud and fiery gold she glories with her smudges of dirt and her sexy milky white shoulders on display. I'm going to start working on the script for "Gryphon II:The Tears of the Basilisk"
