Diagonaldi Very well executed

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Rainey Dawn Good old traveler's tale about Paul Bunyan... but Paul is angry over his best friend's death, his ox Babe. When one of the kids stumble over Babe's grave-site, they had no idea that the horn they took belonged to Babe... now Paul is extremely mad.The old stories of Bunyan are fun to begin with - this films at times is like listening to ghost stories of Paul Bunyan around a campfire, especially when Joe Estevez starts telling the tale.All in fun fantasy horror movie. Great music by Midnight Syndicate. I'd love a copy of this one... I had a blast watching it! 9/10

theshadow1963 Let's get this out of the way first thing: Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan is a bad movie. Badly acted, badly directed, bad CGI effects (but, of course, you knew that as soon as you saw this listed on the SyFy Channel). And yet, it's entertaining in ways that its creators probably never intended. A group of teenage hoodlum wannabes are punished for their crimes...by being sent to camp. Their punishment comes in the form of drill-sergeant survivalist cop who clearly should not allowed within 100 feet of minors and a psychiatrist who wants them to get in touch with their feelings. For a teenager, I can't imagine which of them would be worse company for a weekend. As befits a horror movie that needs a body count, you will hate nearly all of these people and want them to die within 15 minutes. Don't worry, you'll get your wish. Pretty soon, the campers are getting pruned by a 15-foot-tall freak who appears to be developmentally disabled, until you realize that, somehow, he was smart enough to make or buy an double-headed ax with a 10-foot handle (C'mon, those things can't be easy to come by!) that's just big enough for a guy his size to use without looking like he's playing with a toy. He's given a back story familiar to anyone who's a fan of "maniac-in-the-back-woods" horror films. The movie plays out exactly as you expect it to. It "stars" (and I'm using the word in its loosest possible interpretation) Dan Haggerty and Joe Estevez. It's a hallmark of how low this movie sinks that its best-known performers are a TV actor whose last significant role was in 1978 and Martin Sheen's cheaper, less talented brother. Haggerty's role is little more than a cameo (and the scariest thing about this movie is, that apart from his hair and magnificently-sculpted beard going from blond to gray, he doesn't appear to have aged a day in the last 40 years). And Estevez spends the entire movie acting as if Gary Busey and Nicholas Cage are inside him, battling for possession of his immortal soul. There's nothing even remotely original about this movie: from turning a folkloric character into a generic psycho killer to the contrived excuses for why nobody's cell phone and car seem to work when they really need them, to the cookie-cutter characters whose odds of survival are inversely proportional to how annoying they are. Even Estevez's third-act freak-out seems oddly derivative. But if you approach this movie with appropriately low expectations, the cheese factor is good for a few laughs.

Cary Stacy You know most ppl have too high of opinion of themselves to accurately rate anything outside their closed off little paradigm.Axe Giant, upon watching it, has heart. That is the first thing I noticed about the movie. The second was that Kurtzman as in the K in (formerly of) KNB effects company oversaw the sfx.The biggest flaw with the movie is that it's not the fact that the violence is cg, it's that the lighting in the mating of studio work and the natural backgrounds. Paul Bunyan was much too brightly lit for some of the daytime outdoor scenes he was in. I think utilizing more nighttime attacks could of ramped up some of the tension/scares a bit with the added benefit of making PB look more realistic.Again ppl need to realize that not ALL movies pushed out today having the backing of that 2-dimensionally thinking Hollywood producing elite.Again a Axe Giant is a movie with heart, good enough sfx to convey the plot, a lil subpar nudity but a lil more blending between live-action subjects and the studio-recorded Paul Bunyan.Would definitely recommend if you like those old timey monster movies.

bledrules I watched this because Dan Haggerty is in it,I remember very well growing up and watching Grizzly Adams on TV He doesn't have much of a role in this (lucky for him)but the acting is pretty bad and the cgi is also very bad I wont say anything stupid like I want that 90 minutes of my life back (that expression is so annoying) The blue ox was just terribly done Acting was bad cgi even worse Just not a good movie I also thought it might be one of those horror movies that was so bad it was funny no such luck At the end of the credits it says Paul Bunyan will return I certainly hope not.I searched and searched for something positive about the movie,it took a while but finally it hit me.The scenery is very nice,I don't know where it was made but the mountains and deep woods were very nice
