One day I recalled the TUROK SON OF STONE comix from when I was a kid. I hadn't remembered them in years and got to poking around on the Web, to find out that an animated movie on the TUROK theme had been put together recently. I was curious enough to pick it up and give it a watching.
In the TUROK movie, we meet Turok, a young Indian warrior who was ostracized by his tribe for excessive violence. When another tribe, armed with newfangled flintlock mustkets, attacks, Turok jumps into the battle, to end up chasing the chief of the enemy tribe into an underground cavern.

Rating: - My review: Turok Son Of Stone
Any fan of the old Gold Key Turok comics will love seeing this animated film. I liked the fact that it is intended for mature audiences. Yay gratuitous violence!
Rating: - An animated gem
Imagine if you crossed "The Last of the Mohicans" with "The Lost World." That's pretty much what you get in this direct-to-DVD animated feature: native Americans, wall-to-wall dinosaurs, and non-stop action.
If you grew up watching Saturday morning action/adventure cartoons (and let's face it, who didn't?), this is a great way of revisiting them but in a more adult context. More blood flows here than in "Saving Private Ryan", but it's very stylized, so it's unlikely to traumatize anyone over the age of about 13. (Let me put it this way, if this had been around back in the '80s when I ... Read More

I liked "Turok, Son of Stone." I'm old enough that I read the original Dell comics when they were released and I thought this movie was true to the original characters and setting while bringing in plenty of amped up action which, I'm told (in the nicely done extra "Total Turok"), was typical of the Valiant/Acclaim run of the series. As others have mentioned, some of the production team also worked on the animated Batman, Superman and Justice League series. It's probably not quite as good as the best of those but it is well done. If you can, buy it so that it has good sales and they will make ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Turok
I was introduced to Turok back in the 70s when I was a dinosaur obsessed 2nd or 3rd grader. It made quite an impression on me as the two lost Indians made their way into the Lost World with its "honkers", which was how they referred to the dinosaurs.
Over the years I have read many of the more updated comics, and was glad to see this DVD take the story back to its roots, and yet ratchet up the violence and savagery of the entire scenario.
I would probably have never been aware of this direct-to-DVD release had it not been for Harry Knowles glowing review over at [...]. He ... Read More
