The greatest movie ever!

one of my absolute favorites!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Am I Missing Something?

First of all, this is my first IMDb-review-upload. If my review- points clash with any of yours or others', i am truly sorry for that, and know that it makes neither or none of us wrong; it just means we have different opinions/tastes, and i believe that it is not only NOT a bad thing, but it is very very good thing also.(1) This is not an original plot, but we can't really expect it to be. dragon-movies have only 3 basic plots :- (1. dragons are good (2. are bad (3. mix of 1 & 2.dragon-slaying movies tend to have the 2nd one. so does this one. in such movies, either for personal and/or heroic missions, the protagonist usually slays the 'dragon'ist (get it? ha!) (sorry; please play along). so, even though the story is completely predictable & has no originality, i think the only thing we should look for here is personal-contributions of the movie-makers (freshness-to-the-script and convincing-ability). in that manner, this movie has brought not too much, but enough of both to make it entertaining & worth watching.(2) the plot is underdeveloped in some places. For eg. the necromancy/witchcraft/conjuring part wasn't focused-on enough, but i didn't notice it that much, & now i even think it was for the best. first-of-all, i am a very very hardcore fan of the fantasy-genre (be it books or movies) (or games) (Believe me!). (but i am absolutely convinced that many of you are even more of it than me). having said that, the dragon-slayer/the-dragon/dragon-born/chosen-one, & his/her allies/foes having special super-human capabilities, are done to death, & if some story-maker tries it again, i think it should be done Absolutely Absolutely Absolutely (& very very Extensively) RIGHT! (STORY-MAKER'S LICENCE NOT APPLICABLE IN THIS CASE!). other-wise, do what these film-makers did, & concentrate on more important plot- points (like emotional-connections).(3) acting-performances were really great overall (assuming this is how people of that time-period behave); but the male actors, even though was excellent for most of the time, made some very noticeable acting-mistakes sometimes.(4) but most importantly, the semantics was absolutely great (most of the time). the movie was surprisingly sensible for an indie movie and strikes real emotional-chords (unlike some greater, 'serious'er movies) and its probably because medieval people are more 'raw' than us, & they have been brought absolutely alive here (i.e., if they had been facing a dragon, of course). we know that the movie- makers can't over- indulge in the 'dragon-slaying'-part due to the budget, but they focused on something equally important : the everyday-life of such people, the SIMPLICITY of it & what such situations mean to such people. the female-lead was really beautiful; so i am a bit biased, but chemistries b/w characters were great, & the beautiful landscapes & settings felt absolutely like medieval Ireland & added even more to these emotions.(5) BUT, both semantically & syntactically, this movie made the rookie mistake that 90% of the killer- monster-hunting movies make: the killer-monster hesitating when facing the hero. it just stood there, NOT using its maximum potential in the ultimate fight. no matter how low budget a movie is, if you set out to make a 'dragon-slaying'- movie, DO IT RIGHT. dragons are very very vicious, really fast, & very powerful (be them being good or bad), by usual portrayals. so why do they become DUMB, when they see the protagonist? actual dragon- slaying encounters would be MUCH MORE FAST & DANGEROUS.(6) also syntactically, the dragon's design was excellent. but the lighting was bad and the additional effects were....less-than-legendary........much-less. the animated-motions were.....okay, i guess.other syntactical-holes are not very serious.(7) movie felt TOO simple for this decade, but, is INDIE movie, so..........so, overall, the movie felt kinda nice (especially compared to many other 'medieval-killer-monster- hunting'-movies) to ME, & if you see my point, it will for you too (otherwise, just ignore).

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen.Acting: worse then elementary school drama. How do these people get actually hired as actors. The lead role guy Richard McWilliams had same expression for everything: sadness, excitement, fear, anger, confusion SAME FACE and body language, I mean wow...Action: Sword fights were a complete joke. Soccer players fake hurt and fall more realistically then these "actors"Scenes: Among many bad scenes.. the girl training this guy to become paladin by holding the horse by a rope and he was slowly riding around her in circles.. seriously..I want my 101min back..

What better way to enjoy Fathers day than sit with the family and watch a movie......... how disappointing that I can't get back the two hours I wasted watching this when a girlie film,which I generally see too many of and fancied an action movie instead, would have been so much better. at one point I went to get some snacks so I could miss some of the action (I use that term loosely) when my daughter jokingly said you don't get out of it that easy I'll pause it till you get back.They also thought the chicken was the best bit. The script was very poor and predictable and honestly i think it was kept simple so as not to confuse the filming. I have seen some great movies with very few characters but the plot and script are usually enough to carry it in this case neither could.I grew up in the 70's and 80's therefore recognise dated graphic technology but to be honest not the worst part of the film. The fight scenes had poor choreography and lacked energy I honestly could do better. I nearly laughed my socks off when I saw the dragon poo and there is definitely something wrong in someones filming judgement to include let alone think about using this. Now the good bits ..... there is some very nice scenery/ location shots... Two actors stood out Nicola Posener she is beautiful and did well with what script she had and Philip Brodie he has the attributes to make a good baddie( if you can say that) I understand this is a B movie not sure we saw that written on the DVD when we spent our hard earned cash on it so being a B movie the budget for it would have been small .... curious how much was spent? If I was serious about making a movie (please don't say anyone did this for a course or degree) I would attempt something I could achieve and not market it as anything other than what it is i.e. something my mum might be proud of. I at the end of all this I might even keep the DVD as a trophy to terrible movies that others like to write good reviews about I hear that there's another on the way it could become a cult movie ..... if so only because it was so bad or if Nicola appears in more or appears in less!!

This must be the worst movie of the year. There are only a handful of people "acting" in this movie. The main actor (Richard McWilliams) can't talk and can't act properly.... (in fact, he can't run either). The ending was just HORRIBLE.Less said about the dragon, the better.The only saving grace is Nicola Posener. She is very beautiful and for that I gave it a 1..... if she wasn't in it, then it would have got... well, IMDb does not allow rates less than 1. So I would have definitely been in a fix. Thanks to Nicola Posener, I did not have a hard time rating this piece of crap.AVOID like the plague!!!
