I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A Brilliant Conflict

The first must-see film of the year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Unfortunately, the good people at Syfy seem to have thought it does.While "Pegasus Vs. Chimera" is not the absolute worst of the Syfy library, it still fares extremely bad on pretty much all areas. The writing is bad and the acting is either over the top or emotionless (mostly the latter), so be prepared for a lot of cringe-worthy lines. The story is nothing special; there's a couple of bad guys who basically want to conquer the world. It's up to a blacksmith and a princess to stop them, and eventually there are a Chimera and a Pegasus fighting on both respective sides.At a lot of points a badly executed shaky cam technique is used. On top of that there are numerous, and may I add pointless, establishing shots that might give you motion sickness. Also, be prepared for a lot, and I mean a lot of unnecessary and abrupt cuts. Some of the scenery looks okay, however the bad guys do seem to like to visit the same beach a couple of times, which is also the same beach where the father of the hero was murdered years before. What a coincidence, huh?As might be expected of a Syfy movie, it contains a lot of bad CGI and special effects. The Chimera isn't well animated itself, but any scene in which someone fights him looks simply horrendous - that is as far as you can even see any of it, since there are so many cuts, even during the most important scenes. The way they tried to make an ordinary horse look like a Pegasus is possibly the worst aspect of this movie. As the title of this review says, footage of the horse is fast-forwarded to make it look like it has "extraordinary powers".One thing I did like about this movie, is that in one scene near the end of the movie, everyone is involved in a battle, while the horse quietly stands behind them, grazing. Hilarious.

A couple of men in togas encounter a dinosaur-type beast. The incident ends tragically for the beast and one of the men. Many years later, we are apparently in medieval times, give or take a few thousand years. Our hero turns out to be the younger man, who survived the opening attacks. He is blacksmith Sebastian Roche (as Belleros). The villains are magical Carlo Rota (as King Orthos) and henchman James Kidnie (as General Actae). They both have shaved heads. One drinks the other's blood and throws-up "Chimera"... On the less dark side, Mr. Roche gets royal help from pretty Nazneen Contractor (as Princess Philony) and motherly Mimi Kuzyk (as Queen Caria). They are assisted by the occasionally winged horse "Pegasus". The monster "Chimera" is patterned after a feline. It looks most realistic when jumping a few feet up, in one scene. You'll have to wait until the last moment of this "Syfy" TV movie to see "Pegasus" in all his glory. It's too bad "Mr. Ed" was no longer available to play with the role. There is a molecule of wit contributed by director John Bradshaw and Mr. Rota, but there's no denying "Pegasus vs. Chimera" is a wasted effort. The shaky camera is not a special effect.** Pegasus vs. Chimera (9/15/12) John Bradshaw ~ Sebastian Roche, Nazneen Contractor, Carlo Rota, Mimi Kuzyk

This movie was perfect! 2 minutes after putting in the DVD me and my date were deep into a make out session. It's the perfect reason play tonsil hockey for an extended period of time. If you need to come up for air, watch the last 15 minutes, it's really compelling. A horse with wings! Also a fun game to play is to put the movie on mute and add your own dialogue! This movie can't be taken seriously. It moves very slowly and will bore you to tears. Make sure you have a partner present who is ready to lock lips because that's the only thing to make this movie enjoyable. Pour some wine and get ready for some hot action, not on the screen but in your pants.

I originally only watched the last hour of this movie and glad that was all. This film lacked many necessary features in order to make it any type of real monster conflict movie. There were also numerous details that were missing or conflicted. A Pegasus is supposed to have wings and this only showed a white horse - boo hiss. A Chimera, although various depictions exist, is mainly a multi-headed beast which this was not. Towards the end where the Chimera and the Pegasus were battling, the movie showed a wound to the left side of the Pegasus and then shortly afterwards, the wound was on the right. Get serious, what kind of amateur would allow that! Also the camera man was so shaky at numerous points, I almost got seasick. Overall this was a lackluster attempt at a mythological conflict and wasn't worth the time to even view it.
