Micransix Crappy film
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
lindainaz I might have given this movie a higher rating but whole scenes were taken from The Man From Snowy River and dropped into this movie. Just replace the wild brumby stallion with a dragon. I just couldn't help comparing the two movies as I watched and this movie just didn't have the edge-of-the-seat drama or thrills or acting chops of TMFSR.
Dark_Lord_Mark I think the movie is one of the better ones for its genre. The genre being Dragons in Medieval Times and maiden or something to that effect.The movie had a small cast but most did what they must. The hero was likable, the female lead was likable and the villain was just that; a villain.The movie probably had a low budget but was paced nicely and the actors tried and I think did an acceptable job.I would recommend this movie and give it an 8 out of 10. As long as you know what you are getting into and understand it isn't Shakespeare, you'll be enjoying a well done movie.
firefairy723 I know it's possible to make a good movie with a low budget--take "American Graffiti" for instance...which is why this movie is so disappointing. Forget the really poor SFX (which are really distracting). Where this film failed was in story and character development. I had a very hard time connecting with the main character, despite his tragic back story. If this movie had spent as much screen time developing the characters as it did on traveling and landscape shots, it would have done a lot better. I can live with low budgets and poor SFX--what I can't live with is shoddily-developed characters and dry, predictable plots. This movie's only saving grace is that it didn't resort to deus ex machina and that the main character earned the climax. Otherwise it would have not even been worth 1/10 stars.
jengiscan2000 My first review of this 'film' was deleted because someone complained about it! Having read it back again and finding nothing other than my scathing viewpoint of the film on show I can only think it was one of the reviewers who praised it so highly. Written by someone connected with the production maybe? So here with some editing is the review..........................This is a stinker from beginning to end. An extremely badly written script.The two leads were good actors but the rest must have trained at the ham school of dramatic arts, one character, I couldn't understand a word he said throughout the entire film. Most reviewers have mentioned the scenery as if it was a master stroke of production design, you point a camera at hills, mountains and the sea, it usually looks amazing! What's Will doing now?.....Oh he is walking through the country side and now? Oh he is still walking and some more walking and finally he is upgraded to a horse and he is riding now, yes riding some more and a little bit more riding. This all takes place in a land with a population of 10 or maybe 12, 2 die early on.The villain I am sure I saw him in tights in a pantomime somewhere this Christmas...you know what I just can not be bothered to expend any more time and energy on this. I am going to go and play SKYRIM instead......Do not say I didn't warn you.
