Absolutely Fantastic

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I'm giving it a 2 out of 10 all because they cast Marc Singer one of my favorite Genre Actors he was a hottie back in the day and made some great sci-fi fantasy films like V, and Beastmaster. Beyond that this movie is awful and I can watch a lot of SyFy originals even some of the really bad ones can be fun to pass a late night when nothing is on mindless plots and bad special visual FX don't bother me as much as extremely terrible dialog and lackluster directing and this movie has both plus not so great CGI. Someone else who reviewed said he thought Uwe Boli directed this, I dare say Uwe might have done better....did I really just say that. I cannot believe this is on Blu-Ray don't even buy it in the discount bin...yikes.

The film deserves a negative rating... it is terrible! Seriously i don't know why it was even made all copies should be destroyed!typical orphaned farm boy chosen to save the world story(stolen from eragon)he has to complete these obvious and very very easy tasks to earn "virtue" stones to fill some pendant thing. so the plot is old and repeated. the budget must have cut back on Katya's (farm boy's acquaintance/sidekick) clothing as she hardly wears anything!hardly know much about most characters they just pop in and out!the effects are dire the dragon was on fire half the time and at the end some ice dragon came and fought it. even though throughout the whole film there were no mention of the ice dragon. all in all DO NOT WATCH IT, EVER!! IT IS CRAPER THAN CRAP! although if you want to laugh for a while the effects are soooo terrible they will put you in to fits i don't think this was intentional!!

I watched this movie immediately after the Merlin Dragon Wars movie and I wanted to hang myself. The worst part is the story, very cliché: farm boy is destined to be a dragon slaying hero. Some of the main characters don't even have names, the boys grandfather is called grandfather by everyone, the guy with the white beard is the worst actor in the film, I wanted to kill him myself, and was stoked when the shifty looking dragon roasted him. They also cast some stripper who is super tough I guess, and apparently everyone in the world knows "grandfather" as if he is the only one in the world. A complete stranger asks the main character "who sent you?" and all he says is "Gandfather.". WTF? The cast and their acting is HORRIBLE. The first battle was like something you would see in a 40's or 50's film The CG is the worst. The dragons look like plastic models superimposed in the film and they couldn't even generate decent looking fire. There s one scene in particular where the boy is running away from his burning village and the flames aren't real and the attempt at CG fire is BAD. I really wanted to choke whoever made this film DO NOT WATCH. This is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can't believe those shorty actors and directors get paid for that crap. Would give negative stars if possible.Other movies/stories this one stole fromLOTR, Sword of Truth and countless others

Just want to say, if you're pondering whether or not you want to see this movie, do not... Just, do not see this film.I will sum it up for you here: Badly directed acting, terrible cgi animations, the fight scenes seem like they're made by someone who has no clue what he was doing, laughably easy challenges with obvious, plain stupid or silly solutions, no character development. I feel bad for the actors who appeared in this nightmare and I hope that this, bad though it is, gives them the break to do something better later on.I wanted to like this movie, since it's been a while since the last descent fantasy movie, but I couldn't.
