Reviews
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Jasper Coolen The story is not very original. The whole movie looks like a short version of LOTR and the Hobbits. A group of people has to travel around the world defeat the biggest evil the world has ever known. Just like the LOTR, there is a dead army after a big war between elfs and humans. There are orks in the form of beast even something that looks like a Cave troll. Again, there is a wizards with staffs, magic maps and an arrogant king. Hawks are replaced with flying shops Another dragon with a small weak spot who is kllled by a special arrow A massive army that attacks the great gates of the orks, even uses the same tactic as the Rohirim at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. The dragons gem corrupts the mind and spirit, just like the ring and offcourse a pure soul is not affected.The only thing I missed were dwarfs.The only reason i gave this movie 3 stars, was because the drawings are very nice. The actors talk with a total of 0% compassion or believe. They just read the lines.
J-Leidungr (no specific spoilers mentioned but if you want to go in completely without any comments about the storytelling then don't read, though you should definitely watch the movie if you are unsure, you wont regret it unless you have no interest at all in magic and fantasy world sword fights, at the very least it is a decent story)apparently inspired by a game called dragons nest that I know nothing about.for someone that doesn't know the lore this movie was a great watch, though the ensemble of 'heroes' was a little off 'strictly story wise, though that is understandable by it being based on the lore of a game, essentially character classes that are different from one another having prejudices about each other yet work together to achieve a common goal for the greater good.while the story might not be the most original, if you have any interest in sword fights and combat magic, great animation and a movie with possibly perfect pacing/highs and lows this is certainly worth a watch.compelling story telling for someone that is unfamiliar with the lore, only thing it suffers from is the introduction of too many (main?) characters right away, that might be because there is already an established lore for them I don't know but thankfully the narrative doesn't focus to much on previous events just that "they know of each other".as mentioned a lot of talent went into the animation, they really deserve praise for it.
Abhi Teja Such a mind-blowing movie... actually originated from the game I am addicted to and believe me, I've just seen the movie (tomorrow is my semester exam) and I am seeing it again!!! Direction and technical aspects are simply amazing. The director has skyjacked the anxiety and excitement of the plot to the skies... A MUST WATCH MOVIE for all animation movie lovers out there.. I bet you can't rupture its warmth feel after a single watch. Love this movie sooo much... not just bragging about it but there are few aspects that emotionally hunts you deep down your heart.... mainly the...*spoiler alert* Will be waiting for its sequel... if at all it comes (I soooo want one).
barry-930-633294 This is the best Chinese animation movie I've seen. I watch what is coming out of the mainland and in animation it has been bad. Same with live action, but sometimes we get movies like Kung Fu Hustle which was amazing. Where are all the great HK movies? Why don't the mainland movie makers watch more international films and understand that good plot is essential to a good movie. But Dragon Nest might be the movie that proves the mainland can make movies now. This movie feels like it came from a game, but Song Yuefeng, the director, took his skills to add feelings and fun to the action. This is a director to watch out of China. I now want to see the sequel.
