Fantastic!
Admirable film.
Absolutely brilliant
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Others are correct when they say they took great effort to make this film look good - and it does, very beautiful! NO misuse of CGI here - well done! I personally love these types of films - it's not 100% all action... instead it is story driven. This story appealed to me... It is of a young man named Will Shepherd - who will avenge his father and slay the dragon! I love Knights/Paladins, Dragons and Medieval Themes - so this movie is right up my alleyway! I'd love to own a copy of this one for frequent viewings - I've enjoyed it that much!!9.5/10
As a fantasy movie that I had only ever heard of on Netflix I didn't expect this to be great. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the cinematography and the acting. Unfortunately it put me to sleep. There was some action at the beginning and the end but overall it just wasn't very exciting.I'm not sure where this was filmed but the scenery was absolutely amazing, mountains, waterfalls, rolling hills. The strange thing is that there are probably only 9 or 10 people in the entire movie. No village scenes or big armies clashing, or other scenes that are common to fantasy movies.
I watched this on Netflix the other day, surprisingly the rate was 3/5, as D&D player i recognized this immediately, This is the tale of a Paladin, the tale of an epic quest to vanquish its first and foremost foe.If you watch this having played D&D campaigns you will see a dungeon master behind this history if not the very core of the old Manuals buried on this history.If you do not know D&D or any forgotten realms campaign settings you will find this movie either amusing or very "fairy" like at most a good time with a knight & sorcerer tale.For me Story 10/10.Effects on this movie are certainly astonishing for a B class movie not to mention the scenery is beautiful, filmed in Ireland this movie has the Camelot feel in it.Scenery and Effects: 8/10.Acting, here takes the down side, obviously because they are all raising actors, the two lead actors are young and certainly charismatic (specially the girl) but lack in acting skills (specially the main character). Notably maybe its the acting of Ian Cullen and Maggie Daniels, seasoned veterans were up to the stage. However what i found worst it was that its noticeably they had no "sword choreographer" the fights are a little bit dull and if it wasn't for the special effects the fight would look plain awful.Acting 5/10.Music on this movie is quite well set, not too inspiring but not bad either. For me when it comes to fire dragons, you've got to put something elaborated or astonishing at least, its obviously not a Howard Shore or Basil Poledouris, but it fends of himself with a couple of nice tunes and the good peace of the themes along the movie, my favorite so far was the Riding and the preparations of battle.Music: 8/10.The director did a marvelous work with what he had, I personally did not know his name, but after a bit of a search now i understand, the guy has a thing for dragons and knights, having directed only fantasy movies he certainly has improved a lot. If he continues to improve like this with a good budget I am certainly he would come up with an amazing movie someday, i personally loved the last battle where he had, by will or not, imitated "The flight of the dragons" when Sir Orrin defeat the dragon expending his own life in the process.Directing 9/10.Overall this movie is a fantastic fantasy movie if you watch it on the right approach obviously tho, you can't expect everyone to understand the movie nor research a bit before watching it. Either way, i recommend it if you like fantasy movies.I will give it a 9 to pump it up, as i do not like to see such a creative and hard work wasted.
It felt as if Tommy Wiseau (The Room) gave these guys classes about how to act. I was a pain to sit through. The landscapes matches the acting perfectly. When you see quad trails in a «medieval» movie you know you fail big times.Don't even download it! Not worth using your computer for that!At least we don't feel that a beautiful text is wasted by a horrible lack of acting talent. We hear and feel through the movie that there's no effort put in the writing of this «story». It's dull, boring and the CGI is as credible as if they drew on the ribbon with a crayon.If you see a copy of that movie I have one thing to tell you:«KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
