Wordiezett So much average
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
P.S. Paaskynen OK, this film was pretty bad in every aspect. However (You knew there was going to be a but), it is consistently bad, no aspect of bad outdoes the other, which makes for a relatively balanced bad film.Forty years ago, this might actually have made it to the big screen as a passable fantasy action flick. Too bad it was made in 2009.One must hope that the crew who worked on this poor product will have learnt from this experience and will do better next time. Otherwise this whole exercise in silliness would have been a waste.Therefore, a well-earned 2 out of 10.
scott-halter Very good lower-budget Adventure/Sci-Fi film. The special effects were above-average and the acting was as well. Isaac Singleton Jr. plays a fun character with his excellent facial expressions. Shots of scenes with the dragon are actually very well done on such a low budget. Makes me wonder what they could have done with a larger budget. All in all an enjoyable film that will keep you entertained. Much better than some of the box office adventure films out lately that spent 50-100 mill and the film turned out not to be enjoyable and entertaining. The people who enjoy adventure films or "dragon" films will want to see this one. This is the type of film people want to have an opportunity to see so hopefully this will be available to most.
darkandor Lets take a look at the summary..Orphaned as a baby when his parents were killed in a vicious orc attack, Kendrick of Elwood was raised by his elder brother, Darius. Though only nine at the time, Darius devoted his life to Kendrick's care and to purging orcs from their land. As Darius grew into a great warrior, he sheltered Kendrick from all possible harm. Now, after years of absence, a new danger emerges, more lethal than the threat of orcs or men. Reports of dragon attacks spread like wildfire through the panicked land. In memory of his mother's prophesies of a mighty Dragon Hunter in their bloodline, Darius leads Kendrick on a perilous journey to the castle of Ocard - the Dragon Hunter training grounds. As they battle through evil men and orc-infested lands, they align with a band of rogue warriors who swear their allegiance in this hazardous quest. The Brothers of Elwood, joined by Raya, an elven princess, Olick, a mute Berserker, and five human mercenaries must escape orc ambushes and dragon attacks to reach the fortress at Ocard. Will dragons completely decimate the countryside? Only the Dragon Hunter will decide! The summary itself is wrong, at no point in the movie is the word "princess" even mentioned. The "mute" berserker speaks thus hardly making him "mute".I had no hopes for this movie because I actually enjoy low budget fantasy movies. This movie however can only be summed up by one word "terribad". It isn't the plot, it isn't the acting, it isn't the fact the characters have no depth, its the horrible camera work that makes this unwatchable. You can not see any fighting as the camera starts being shaken every time there is a battle, not slightly but to the point where you can not see anything. The ended was...well...wow...that bad. I have nothing else to say.
aridale I went into this movie not expecting anything. I knew nothing about it aside from the link here and decided to give it a blind watch. It started out kinda shaky but it turned out to be quite good. Don't get me wrong this is no blockbuster. I don't know what the budget was or how long it took to make and it seemed like they probably had to have some really good friends to pull of the cgi that it had as the dragon was quite well done. The interactions WITH said dragon were a lil iffy but on the whole the effects team did quite well. Friends or talented upstarts lookin to get their names on somethin, I dunno but they did a very competent job.Im not sure if I got used to it or they stopped somewhere around the halfway mark but the overly shaky "fight cam" effect was no where near as bad later in the movie as it was during the initial fight scene with the orcs. It wasn't "gritty camera man chasin the action" style either it was "omg the camera guys got the palsy and is shaking uncontrollably" But it seemed to be only that initial scene... either that or I got used to it for the remainder.The acting was overall good. There were no moments when I really was taken out of the scene by bad lines or bad acting. The overly dramatic "NOOOOOOO!" scene was over the top and should be easy to spot if you watch the movie and a lot of it wasn't overly believable I mean I know it was a training montage but it came across more like "trained for a week and is now a badass" type thing.Anyway no MAJOR gripes. Only thing I could really complain about is its too short so it lacked any real depth that coulda made it all the better. I can see this expanded some remade with a good budget and with more character development and itd be fantastic.All in a good lil movie and very surprising. And Kelly Stables doesn't hurt either... very easy on the eyes =D
