I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

MYTHICA: THE DARKSPORE is the second film in the indie fantasy series that was funded independently via a Kickstarter campaign. You do wonder why they bothered when all the filmmakers seem interested in doing is making yet another LORD OF THE RINGS clone that heavily copies the Tolkien classic. This one is very close to THE TWO TOWERS in its depiction of a band of raiding orcs riding around the plains and slaying victims. The film as a whole looks quite nice and the effects are okay, but the story is A-Z basic and it lacks the professional touch to make it decent.

A number of questions are answered, you have some character development (not too much, but a bit) and the story progresses a bit. The main problem is that Marek is so obsessed by Qole's body and her desire to hump him that she makes bad decision after bad decision. In the end the warnings from the only smart person in the team (that Marek uses like a battery for her powers) , Dagen prove to be correct and Qole to be actually working for the bad dude (did no one except me saw that coming? I mean it was pretty obvious) and betray everyone. I was full of glee as he was killed. But Marek cried for the bastard. Meanwhile the one that saved her at least 3 times so far (Dagen) does not get even a kiss because she thinks of him like her personal slave. Not even a thank you when he comes to save her. She thanks Thane but not Dagen. Is not like Dagen did everything to free her from providing the cash, finding the new owner, making the plan to force him to sign her release... oh wait, he did! At least a thank you kiss would have been in order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rejMgYXSn8I

This is wholly a spoiler, because as far as this kind of movie goes, the acting and dialogue was fine. I give the 2 stars for that. And what has been said about the sets, effects and fights has already been said. So here is my gripe, and the spoiler:The tag line is: "Marek and her company must go on a journey and prevent Szorlok from obtaining all the shards of the Darkspore, or all will be lost."So what happened? The 'heroes' give the Darkspore to Szorlock, and therefore, surely, all is lost?But no - they head off on another adventure.Wait - you haven't finished this one yet! Come back! The evil wizard has the most powerful artefact in the world and doom will befall all, and you've already forgotten what an utter balls-up you've made of everything...Actually, on second thoughts - don't come back.

I've watched many movies in the same category, and to be honest this one blew me away. If you're a real fan of fantasy games, series or movies this is a great squeal to watch! Every review I've read has always been incredibly harsh and it's apparent that they've all been expecting a Hollywood standard film with 10/10 special effects. The acting in this movie was better than its prequel, as well as the graphics being up to a much better standard. The scripts will make you giggle at times but those parts are all tongue in cheek. The story- line leads on from it's prequel quite well and leaves it open at the end for another sequel(it's obvious to tell that the timeline is long even from the first movie) and I'd personally love to see it.If you take this movie for what it is(a fantasy movie obviously made by a lot of passionate fantasy fans) you'll be more than happy by the end of it. It's also really nice to come across a female protagonist who has a great back story and isn't half naked.All in all, graphics aren't great but you shouldn't be expecting much with their budget. Actors are alright but the fantasy detail is very precise. 9/10 - I want more!
