     Druan bach, mae ganddo bopeth o'i blaid; ieuenctid, cyhyrau a phâr hyfryd o lygaid gleision - ond dim owns o garisma, sy'n golygu nad oes gan y cymeriad "Sam Flynn" obaith mwnci canfod lle yn oriel yr anfarwolion gwyddonias gyda Neo, Deckard a Luke Skywalker yn gwmni iddo.

     Poor dear, he has everything going for him; youth, muscles and a lovely pair of blue eyes - but not an ounce of charisma, which means the character "Sam Flynn" hasn't a monkey's chance of finding his place in the gallery of the science fiction immortals with Neo, Deckard and Luke Skywalker for company.
