Summary: Horrifying !
Review: Nothing that hasnt been said about this hasnt been written already. I just watched it today and boy, first 5 seconds and I knew this was goona be a horrible movie. What a waste of my time! Philip Cook has the nerve to flash his name above the movie title like in the styles genre of steven spielberg or m night..well now at least I know..avoid the movie when you see Philip Cook!

Summary: Bizarre
Review: There are some interesting ideas in Despiser, certainly, but it's hard to deny that the film is a mess. Tacky CG aside, the acting is sub-par and the plot is full of holes and never seems totally cohesive. You'll find yourself asking, "Why are there malls or car dealerships in purgatory?" or "How long have they been driving down that bridge?" Character development isn't great, either, with an older, wise, black man doing what older, wise black men do in these films and a Japanese character who looks more Latino than anything else.It's the kind of film you and your buddies might rent for laughs (you get to see the main character fight one of those tiny, plastic, pink-haired trolls on more than one occasion), but I can virtually guarantee that it's not worth paying $25 or more for.

Summary: THIS MOVIE ROCKS!
Review: This is the most fun I've had in a long time! Phil Cook's film just kicks off and rolls non stop till the finale. The visuals are very cool, and the whole film has another worldly look and feel. It's a great story, awesome action and terrific filmmaking. In a sea of boring blockbuster action films, this little gem rates 5 stars.

Summary: dearest mother-of-God!
Review: This is the worst movie I have seen in my entire life, without exaggeration. The effects are horrible, and while I know that CG alone doesn't make a movie (just see the new Dune), I don't want to feel as though I'm watching an old video game instead of a film. The actors...wait a minute, what actors? Half the time they're needlessly replaced by plasticky computer figures, and the rest of the time their expressions are so wooden, they might as well not be real. The idea behind the story is vaguely interesting, but the director doesn't deliver on the promise, and the entire work just falls flat on its face.
There are some movies that are so horrible, they become entertaining simply because it's funny to see how low we can go. This movie doesn't even give that to us.
It's only redeeming feature was that it cost a dollar, and that it was my friend's dollar. And if you were for some reason planning to shell out the $25 Amazon asks from you--think about all the good things you could do with that money. Like buy $25 worth of eggs and throw them off skyscrapers. Or maybe make your own movie on a home video camera. It's guaranteed to be better than this.

Summary: Small-Budget, Big Results
Review: Wow. Can you believe that someone has mixed the real life realm with the CG realm? Sure, its done all the time... but what makes this film special is that it didn't have the hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it... With a small budget, Cook brought the Despiser to life... I think what's wrong with audiences today is that they refuse to accept things that aren't done like everything else... Imagination is a beautiful thing... personally, I really dug how the CG and video were welded together... It's something I hadn't seen before and I admired it... The story was awesome and the characters were really likeable... All in all, great job! Good work!
