Highly Overrated But Still Good

Best movie of this year hands down!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Fantasy/adventure is not my favorite type of film, but my children love it and so I watch it quite a bit. This being said, Pendragon does not deserve the reviews it has received on this site. This is a shame because I use IMDb as a guide to weed out poor-quality movies. After reading the reviews stating that the acting was inferior, the effects lame and the whole thing mismanaged, we almost did not watch the movie. Pendragon was great for its genre. The acting well-played, the scenes convincing, the effects stunning (sword fights well-done). The only reasons why someone might give this film a poor review are: religious objections to a movie that shows a society of faith, not atheism; artistic objections because the movie had no CGI- that is, the actors had to "act", do their own stunts, etc,... Or perhaps the poor reviewers simply prefer to be fed the drivel seeping out of Hollywood, instead of watching a real movie, with actors acting realistically to circumstances, and a real family making it happen. Excellent film. Please make more!

Terrible. Bad acting with God and Jesus mentioned in every other sentence. This is a Christian appreciation fest and there are no redeeming features that make this worth the struggle past the pulpit speeches. Gave up watching half way through. Save your money. Promised special effects are poor and the film is not enhanced by the woeful narration throughout. I should think even the most ardent Christian would find this film an insult. It is no more than a vain attempt to preach to an unsuspecting audience and should at least be honest and inform the purchaser that the film is a promotion video for God.This film promised so much and delivered so little.I don't even feel as though I could give it away to anyone without being embarrassed.

I gave this movie a 2 just because I'm a generous guy. This movie is definitely not worth watching. Why? Where do I begin: The actors were terrible, the effects were horrible, and the costumes weren't good either. The Saxon soldiers looked like clowns gone mad. Seriously. Me and my amigo tried to watch the entire movie but we just couldn't. It's unbearable. I'm gonna give a piece of advice to the makers of the movie - Next time you guys decide to make a quality film, make sure your budged is higher than $215. - Anyway, people, I would strongly advice against watching this movie. I mean, the idea of the movie is good. In theory, looking at the plot, it's a good movie, but in reality it's a disaster.

This is my first review in the IMDb, and I'm doing this just because I saw a terrible wasted film. In the beginning I really tried to see the best part of it. You think, "Oh, come on is a "C" movie, let's give a chance to this awful actor, or, the direction is not good but, let me just see it from another angle...." but is impossible. The main actor is simply worse then you can handle, you never see the face of the actors in front, the action take always more time then needed (is a problem with the cut), and it simply goes on ...The movie lacks continuity, it doesn't make you want to keep watching it, is sad, could be just a great film.I saw in the end, that was a family project, (that explain the non-convincing extras and other actors) but any way, a good director/ editor consulting would just be great. The idea is good, but is impossible to do a great film without a good protagonist (that was maybe the biggest mistake) and a good director.The soundtrack could be done with a really low budget, it would make the film flow better...
