one of my absolute favorites!
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreI usually like SCIFI movies & I like Dolph Lundgren movies like this & to me even at the end of the movie Dolph Lundgren character Harker was the good guy. Travis kept saying Harker just wanted all the glory but this creature was killing humans & he was hired to kill it to stop it from killing humans. The creature was extremely destructive & was taking human lives so it is obviously life threatening. Travis the idiot who must think humans dying as a result from this creature is worth those human deaths & wants to capture it alive no matter how many people get hurt. To me it's obvious Travis wanted all the glory without a doubt. Travis was the glory hound in this movie & not Dolph Lundgren character.
... View MoreReally cheesy, bad CGI-supported, good guy/bad guy flick. Basically SyFy channel type schlock. Don't waste your time or electricity on this silly thing. The creature doesn't even eat meat, she' just defending her nest from evil capitalists who want to develop her habitat. What a wimpy excuse for a creature flick! The fast swipe creature scenes keep the actual appearance of the CGI monster from being completely laughable until late in the film, but it still looks like an over-grown gecko. Lundgren portrays the cut-out drunken egoist who just wants to shoot everything that moves for booze money. BTW: The years have been none too kind to old Dolph Lundgren, who has become a scrawny shadow of his former self. Combine this with his lack of acting ability and the amateur level of the rest of the cast, and you have one big no-fly zone!
... View MoreScott Adkins and Dolph Lundgren star as rival bad-ass hunters who look to go up against some type of kimono dragon. Legendary is the type of B. movie that boggles your mind. After enjoying Adkins work with Van Damme (and Lundgren, as I both enjoyed Expendables 2 and Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning)I admit being somewhat optimistic about seeing these two charismatic kung fu guys in a monster movie. The problem though is that Adkins and Lundgren are completely wasted in what feels like a busted made for TV pilot for a TV show that never should air. The problem is that Adkins and Lundgren are not cut out for Indiana Jones antics and as a monster movie the film is completely unexciting. Overall this movie will even bore the most ardent fans of the two stars. Therefore this misfire is best forgotten, so if you want to see the combined talents of the two stars used effectively, re-rent Universal Soldier:Day Of Reckoning, because this painfully boring dud will be remembered solely as a low point in the careers of both stars. * out of 4-(Bad)
... View More"Legendary: Tomb of the Dragon" was actually anything but legendary. But I will say that the story did initially have potential, but it wasn't utilized in any way. Especially because there were so many flaws in the movie.First of all, wouldn't someone notice that lizards bigger than cars were roaming the Chinese countryside? Especially because creatures of that size would have to eat a substantial amount of food in order to stay alive, especially when there is more than one of them around.Secondly, why would the Chinese government bring in American researchers, soldiers and freelancers? It just doesn't add up. Especially when one of the groups were running around armed to the teeth.Story-wise, then "Legendary: Tomb of the Dragon" was stale and predictable. It wasn't impressive in any way, and as such, it was a less than mediocre experience.But of course, with a movie like this you pretty much know what you are going to get.I will say the movie was nicely shot, and had some really beautiful scenery to work with. And the lizards themselves, well, they were actually rendered nicely enough.As for the cast of the movie, well, I will just say that you know what you are getting with these people, and they deliver. Just about so, nothing more, nothing less.This movie wasn't particularly memorable, and it didn't stand out in a genre of over-sized creatures. If you enjoy this particular genre of movies, there are far better choices available for your entertainment.
