Lamest minotaur ever?


Whats with the four legs? It looks like a giant deformed bull.
Shouldnt it be half-man half-bull as its half-man half-bull bred?
Would be cooler too.

agree , mother was human , father was bull , missing mothers genes lol

yeah it should be half man half bull! This movie is totally weird.

I thought it was way cool. different than most miotaurs, repulsive and digusting. Special effects and robotics on it were great.

i agree i actually liked how it looked even though i was i little disappointed it was on 4 legs it still looked good and the whole movie was good

It was a great zombie-bull, might even give good old Ox the Hellbull (http://www.lordi.fi/main.site?action=siteupdate/view&id=18) a run for that job, but technically, it was no minotaur. Stick that head on Pumpkinhead's (http://imdb.com/title/tt0095925/) body and you would have an awesome minotaur-zombie-demon.

I agree...this is not a zombie film to put a bull...running like a ghost.
Should be half man...half bull
End of story.

Or else change de film title to GHOST BULL

I've seen worse monsters, it didn't look bad at all, but ok it wasn't a real minotaur like in the myth.
But nobody complains about the Greek people who didn't look Greek at all, they looked more like some African tribe instead of Greeks

The minotaur in this movie was okay, but not at all like the ones featured in Narnia(The Lion,The Witch, and the Wardrobe(2005) ). There are,however far worse looking ones such as in the 1960's Italian feature "Minotaur" ( a.k.a. Theseus vs.The Mintotaur) in which the Minotaur just looked like a man in an ape costume with some horns on it's head. This one ( in the 2006 version) at least is a Bull, but I'd rather see it more anthropomorphic and humanoid.

I had human hair and human skin.

Don't know what you lot are complaining about. First off the movie was watchable, not a masterpiece, but ok. About the minotaur not being 'the minotaur', it made perfect sense, as much as it can be said that a woman gives birth to a human-bull hybrid can be said to make sense. I like you expected an anthropomorphic bull-man but was taken aback with the creature when it made an appearance. Personally I don't think it would have been nearly half as frightening and bizzare looking if it were on two legs, none of the minotaurs looked as freakish and terrifying as this one I'd rather think of The Last Unicorn's red bull (which I was immediately reminded of here) than say a more hideous version of Pan from Pan's Labyrinth. In and of itself the story made good viewing, if you can stop yourslf from deploring it for it's inaccuracies and failure to meet conventional minotaur tale stereotypes, which I initially did, but in the end I accepted it on it's own merit. Not great, not even good but a long way from bad is my view

When I read the description to the movie, it said they were terrorized by a half-man, half-bull minotaur, but that made me think "what is so scary about that? It's just a man with a bull's head, basically (or the other way around)"

It is kind of weird that it is mostly bull, and something else along with it.

The idea of a creature that is half man and half bull is (to me) horrifying. Have you ever seen a bull? I saw them in stockyards and they looked unbreakable. They are massive, living, breathing tanks of muscle. A man's head, compared to a bull's, is puny. I knew a guy who got hit by a bull. He flew four feet into the frickin' air! Now, combine this (along with their temperment) with that of a man. Humans are capable of the worst things that you could possibly imagine.


The sets and costumes looked nice. I kept wondering why Theseus was changed into Theo and the Minotaur into a weird zombie bull. The filmmakers obviously knew nothing of ancient Greek civilization.
