AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
ryhill2012 This movie has way too many shots of the same thing that makes the action sequences feel like a turtle running a 5k marathon. So many scenes should have been cut out entirely. Imagine watching the dragons fighting(doing somersaults around each other, then cut back to princess looking on, see dragons flying not really attacking each other, cut back to more looks of worry from princess, back and forth of this pointless dragon fights and worry looks for what seemed like way too long until finally i caved and just had to skip fwd a bit more until it was over. Bad directing is the key to why this movie sucked. The acting was alright i guess, some actors better then others. On the jacket it states "A Visually Spectacular(imo outright lie...unless they meant spectacularly awful), Fantasy Adventure(yeah its that) from the director of Catwoman(uh -oh catwoman sucked too)." That is supposed to be some thing good? (That made me laugh.) I mean the CGI is from 2008, it should be better then stingray like dragons that clearly don't blend into the background and looks real. Jurassic Park had better CGI then this and that was made back in 1993(so visually spectacular???? yeeeeah-right.) Costumes were meh.... I see they tried but it looks like a low budget webisode project and i've seen better webisode shows with much better wardrobe.My thinking is why did they even bother making this? Yeah, i only stuck around because Amy Acker(Angel) was a main lead.If your looking for a drinking game maybe watch this with friends and drink every time they say "dragons" or "princess", and you will be drunk real quick.
OldAFSarge A lot of my fellow reviewers like to tackle the technical side of every movie. Me, well I watch movies if they have someone I like in a major role or of a certain genre. In this case I watched this because it had Amy Acker in it and I have been missing her since "Angel" died. Also, it had John Rhys-Davies, whom I have liked since I saw him in "Sho-gun." John seems to have been making a living doing these types of films since the close of "Lord Of The Rings." This is not a new story-line, nor is it worth adding to your collection, but it is worth a view the next time it hits SyFy. The main plot is can a young man kill a dragon and save a King's kingdom. His father was, after-all, a dragon slayer of some note. Then there is the member of the King's court who is trying to throw a wrench in the works. The King, by the way, is played by Arnold Vosloo, who you might just remember from the The Mummy movies. This is just another of those quickly thrown together movies that have a few stars who gather in Romania for a few weeks of shooting.
siderite Imagine a standard story about the evil terror of the land, the good king, the bad king, the corrupted king adviser, the good princess and the valiant knight. Any number of scripts and movies could have provided inspiration for this. But no, they wanted to do it the MediaPro way. That is, BTW, a Romanian production company.The result is some nicely drawn dragons, although completely disconnected. If they weren't "the terror", I would have guessed they came from another movie altogether. Then the script is completely boring and there are some absolutely horrible action scenes and acting.Arnold Vosloo plays well, I think he is one of the good actors around, too bad he is not cast in decent roles. Why did he accept this role? Did he need money so badly? Or are people in casting just oblivious to acting talent and he plays what he can get?Same goes for John Rhys-Davies. He plays his usual "Professor" type and has the decency to die when the part got just too ridiculous. His acting wasn't good either, although I have to admit, any actor would have been hard pressed to feel motivated in a movie such as this.The Romanian actors were decent enough, except Cabral Ibacka and Loredana Groza, who are Romanian TV celebs, not actors, and it painfully shows. I liked the evil king, too, not because the part was interesting or the acting great, but because I remember the actor living in my neighbourhood :)Bottom line: avoid this. But do look for the extended 5 minute or more trailer. It looks great and has more production and direction values than 10 Fire&Ice movies. Maybe they will extend it to a complete feature film some day :)
sakeb Since I can remember that I'm a huge dragon "afficionado" and I love everything that relates to dragons. I've watched countless dragon movies and I loved every one of them (Please, take under consideration that D-War is not, in my eyes, considered even a take on movie... it was awful). Unfortunately Fire and Ice does not fall very behind the D-War scene... Dragons look almost like giant flying stingray and are covered in their element (fire or ice) giving them a look as "undragonish" as I even dare to imagine if I tries to undermine a dragon's look. I was aware that this is a Sci-Fi movie, but the channel's movies are quite entertaining. This has the HUGEST plot holes and STUPIDITIES I've ever seen. Really a NEVER watch. Also, note that this is my first review ever in IMDb and this is really to warn anyone that considers to watch this, mostly if you are a dragon fan. May your fangs never dry!
