Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

mikemdp This "Lord of the rings" rip-off by mockbuster master The Asylum is a lot better than it deserves to be.Daniel Bonjour, obviously cast because he looks a lot like Frodo, plays Arkadi, a youthful adventurer who must collect a number of jewels which, when placed into an amulet that looks like it was bought at Claire's Boutique for $10.95, will for unexplained reasons give him the power to save the world from the evil of a wizard named Kirill, played by Not Ron Perlman.He's aided in his quest by two warriors: Katya, whose porn star makeup and lip gloss perfectly match her porn star acting talents, and Maxim, played by ungracefully aging Marc "Beastmaster" Singer, whom the director unwisely required to act like the child of an unholy union between Yoda and Popeye.Between the opening scenes of Not Frodo peeping at a hottie villager taking her clothes off for no good reason (Note: you don't even get a peek; don't even bother pausing or backtracking the DVD like I did) and the anticlimactic final battle between Not Frodo and Not Ron Perlman, there's in fact a charming little fantasy story going on, with some pretty location shooting and nice b-roll over mountain vistas and lush forests.The dragons are actually pretty neat looking, even though all they really do is fly around and shake their heads back and forth.All in all, "Dragonquest" comes off as a bunch of renfaire friends who got together and made their own fantasy movie, with some bargain basement CGI spliced in. On that level, it's a pleasant enough bit of fun.Don't pay full price for it; that would just be foolish. But I've seen it on Amazon for about three bucks new, paired on the same DVD with the equally workmanlike Asylum effort "Merlin: War of the Dragons." That's how to buy your bad movies, folks. Get 'em cheap, watch 'em once, sell 'em for a profit at your next garage sale."Dragonquest" isn't worth anything more than that, and doesn't aspire to be.

rwalk-2 I watched this movie immediately after the Merlin Dragon Wars movie and I wanted to hang myself. The worst part is the story, very cliché: farm boy is destined to be a dragon slaying hero. Some of the main characters don't even have names, the boys grandfather is called grandfather by everyone, the guy with the white beard is the worst actor in the film, I wanted to kill him myself, and was stoked when the shifty looking dragon roasted him. They also cast some stripper who is super tough I guess, and apparently everyone in the world knows "grandfather" as if he is the only one in the world. A complete stranger asks the main character "who sent you?" and all he says is "Gandfather.". WTF? The cast and their acting is HORRIBLE. The first battle was like something you would see in a 40's or 50's film The CG is the worst. The dragons look like plastic models superimposed in the film and they couldn't even generate decent looking fire. There s one scene in particular where the boy is running away from his burning village and the flames aren't real and the attempt at CG fire is BAD. I really wanted to choke whoever made this film DO NOT WATCH. This is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can't believe those shorty actors and directors get paid for that crap. Would give negative stars if possible.Other movies/stories this one stole fromLOTR, Sword of Truth and countless others

shepses This truly godless-awful exploitation crap should be sued by the Tolkien estate and Peter Jackson's entire production team. From lines about "the shadow in the east" and saving the west to the about half the production design, this garbage, which boasts some of the worst writing and even worse acting I have ever witnessed. When "Grandfather" dies at the film's start I was actually glad, I so could not stand one more of...his...disjointed...line...readings.... The dragon is a complete rip-off of the Balrog. There are thugs with white Uruk-Hai hand-prints on their faces. There is a cave with a giant spider. I could go on, but what would be the point? And the cast? It is nauseating to see Marc Singer, and actor who made his name in Shakespeare, for chrissake, reduced to growling his way through this mess. And Brian Thompson actually can act when he's allowed to, as he proved in the two Epoch movies, so why reduce him to a hooded cloak and deep voice? The rest of the cast deserves anonymity. I know in my heart that a special place in Cinema Hell awaits the writers and director of this offal.

Mary Johnson That was the funniest movie I have ever seen and it wasn't even meant to be funny. I could not take Maxim(or whatever his name is) seriously. His face looked so silly, even when he was trying to be totally serious. They tried much too hard to be dramatic, especially during Maxim's death. And the movie was very random. The guy walks into a cave, a spider comes up and does a little dance thing, and then it walks away, and the whole time the boy is just standing there looking at it. I mean, wouldn't the spider at least attack him? Or wouldn't he try to get away from it? And then he just finds one of the gems in a helmet on the floor without even doing anything to obtain it. Over all it was hard to take seriously, had bad graphics, failed horribly at the green screen, had bad actors, and a terribly predictable plot. If you are planning on getting it for a fantasy or adventure movie, don't. If you are looking for a comedy, this is the one to choose.
