The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Digiview Entertainment. What won't these fellows do for a buck? In recent years, their name has very nearly become almost sort of synonymous with the preservation of such unparalleled cinematic treasures as "King of Kong Island", "Hercules Against the Moon Men" and "The Guy with Secret Kung Fu". So obviously they're good for a laugh, and a cheap laugh at that. They actually leave you enough money to buy a halfway decent brand of beer to go with the movie.Having said that, I am obliged to admit that I was a little disappointed with this offering. Judging from previous reviews, I am not alone in this opinion. Others have already commented on the lackluster gaggle of characters (and their utter lack of chemistry), the relative paucity of action, and the infuriatingly protracted dialogue, some of which rivals anything Bulwer-Lytton might have scribbled down in his cups, even on the darkest and stormiest of nights. Under the circumstances, a bit more of the bad guys would have been a welcome escape from the good guys, but we actually see very little of the bad guys in this movie. The CG dragon only appears in a couple of all-too-brief sequences, and the dark elves alluded to on the cover seem to be little more than an afterthought. If you're going to subject someone to the indignity (not to mention the expense) of dressing up in a ridiculous outfit and having his face painted, the least you can do is leave him in front of the camera long enough for the audience to get a good look at him. This film desperately needed something, and a bit more of the dark elves might very well have done the trick. In addition to more screen presence, they should have been given a few simple lines. Even a pair of dark elves exchanging orcish pleasantries such as "Stop your squealing, you dunghill rat!" could have contributed an actual dimension to this insipid opus, with very little effect on the overall production costs. Oh, well. Maybe they'll have a better feel for the thing if they ever get around to doing Part 2. Better yet, maybe they'll never get around to doing Part 2.

So my friends see this DVD, right, in our local shop. They see the title: "Dragon". The blurb at the top reads: "The Action of 'Reign Of Fire'. The Adventure of 'Lord OF The Rings'." They seem suitably impressed by it, so bring it round to the larger gathering of us. We sit down and start to watch. I'm not sure if I'm glad that we did or wish that we hadn't.Putting it very bluntly, this is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD film. It starts off okay - you get suitably epic scenery shots of great mountains, an ominous female narrator talking of a great battle, setting the scene. And then comes the first shot of CGI and you just know that from then on in the film is just going to get worse and worse.The acting is almost abysmal. Almost, because it is semi-saved by an actually okay performance from Eliza Swenson, with big scary eyes as the witch who created the mythical title beast. Trouble is, my opinion of her is brought down heavily by the fact that she wrote the story. The script is very bad indeed, with very bad dialogue been spouted from mouths with accents that take more dips than a roller-coaster.The action scenes, the few that there are, are either badly choreographed or full of the worst CGI this side of "Tron". Even the earliest forms of CGI in films is better than the effects in this. The dragon itself is never really fully seen, so there's no sense of menace or...actually, I don't think there's any sense of anything! Some may argue that it's SUPPOSED to be this bad, that it's SUPPOSED to look amateurish. But the major problem with this argument is that the film, at the end of the day, is just incredibly boring. The dialogue scenes are long and slow, and you just feel your eyes drooping, even if you're not tired. If it WAS meant to all be a laugh, it would be less boring, it would be more apparent.So basically, I hated this film. It's a film that makes you laugh for just sooooo many reasons. It's a very bad film and please, please, PLEASE, unless you like personal torture, please do not subject yourself to its pure awfulness.1/10

OK, first let me say that I love terrible movies. Attack of the Griffin was a recent favorite. It was so chock full of terrible acting, hilarious special effects and just all around poor quality that I loved it. My friends and I were laughing and cracking jokes the whole way through.I rented Dragon hoping for a similar experience. I was actually pretty excited. "How can they go wrong?", I thought. "It's a low-budget fantasy film and it's made by Asylum, it's got to be hilarious." Boy was I wrong. There was absolutely nothing funny about this train wreck of a film. We were actually reverting to making jokes about Attack of the Griffin while watching it, because this one gave us no material whatsoever. The acting wasn't funny, it was just bad. The actors made me want to cry rather than laugh. I felt embarrassed for them. Oh, and the direction... Leigh Scott needs to understand that things happen in movies. One of my friends jokingly suggested that a fifth grader could direct a better film. It's a funny suggestion, but unfortunately it's true. I would rather watch a screen adaptation of a ten year old's diary than sit through this rubbish.I can safely say I have never seen a more poorly conceived film. There is literally no plot. They never do anything in this movie. They stand around and talk. About what, I couldn't tell you, but they do it for hours on end, in between sparse and uneventful "action" scenes. I am seriously disgusted. No B movie has ever left me feeling like this. Leigh Scott should drop the camera and walk away. Right now.

And a bad one for that matter. The level of acting is so bad that it over power the poor visual effects. The scenery and the make-up complete this miserable attempt at film making. I did not expected to watch a masterpiece or academic show award classic, but come on, there should be a limit to what studios are distributing as a movie, But at least, I thought to myself, there is Amelia Jackson-Gray. A lovely lady by all means. (You can see some of her pictures here on this web page)., I thought, it worth to watch the film just for her sake. But even that minor expectation was robbed of me. But somehow in the process of making this disaster, they have managed to ruin this as well. (You will not recognize her in the film by the pictures that are on the web site).Casting unknown actors does not mean that they will have to over act, and law budget films does not mean that putting some black color on an actor face, makes him look like a dark elf. The audience is stupid and expect a little more.
