This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreDragon Hunter is one of those movies you either love or you hate. It really is rather on par with some of the SciFi...excuse me, SyFy channel monster movies. The "special" effects are almost as good as Power Rangers but not quite as good as the old Xena: Warrior Princess show.There are some holes in the timing, editing, and dialog that are amateurish and again, low budget. I suspect that the first take was the only one for most scenes.With all that going against it, how could I consider it "good"? For starters, the language was clean and the "shaky camera effect" added to what would likely be bland fight scenes, adding a frantic element without resulting to gore and blood. You could watch this with your grandmother or young (8 and older) kids without worrying or feeling embarrassed.I found the characters to be more than just cookie-cutter cut outs. We aren't given a lot of character development and none for minor characters but I enjoyed the two brothers and especially Erik Denton playing the older.So willingly suspend your disbelief, ignore the obvious faults, and just go with it.
... View MoreAn upper age limit of 15 should be given for this turkey which should only be screened on Sataday morning TV. Low budget and appalling casting and direction puts this in the same class as 'Krull' and .....um....I cant think of anything else as bad. Its as if a porn director has decided to make a fairy tale movie using his usual cast and camera men but without all the babes, he he. Big idea wasted by a second rate production team with insufficient financial backing. I have to find three more lines to conform to the minimum requirements for leaving a comment so, there is an Elf chick in the plot that is worth a second look but I would not part with any cash for the privilege of seeing her in this flick.
... View MoreVery 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.
... View MoreYou know when you make it over an hour through a movie and you only have like twenty minutes left, and even though it's awful, you've come this far and just have to finish it? Well, this is not that movie. I was literally five minutes away from the end and couldn't care less. The acting was downright pitiful with characters lacking any depth to pull any emotion from anyway. Blame the writing, it was some of the worst you'll see. The plot sounded interesting enough in the ultra-nerdy sort of fashion, but rest assured, it falls short here, too. Awful plot. Awful writing. Pitiful direction. The continuity was thrown out the window. There are scenes in which a character's beard appears to have gotten a magical trim over the course of a few seconds, until...BAM! It's back!The effects are just goofy. The dragon, well, I won't give it away, but it's laughable to say the least. Although I gave this only one star, and would probably consider it one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, it isn't without it's charms. It's charms being that it is so terrible, you'll find yourself chuckling every few moments. The chuckles eventually wear off and you stop caring, at which point you should just turn the movie off.All in all, the director/writer/producer in Shimek should be shunned from the fantasy community, hanged for his abomination, and mocked for eternity in his pathetic attempt at a film. This guy is pathetic. Literally something that you would not believe until you see. Yes, it's THAT bad. See it for a laugh with buddies over some beers, but I'm sure you won't want to watch more than forty five minutes or so. If you plan on watching it for any other reason than mockery, just don't.
