demonite0429 I didn't think this movie was as horrible as many make it out to be. It is not exactly "good" or, for the most part, "bad"... What I WOULD like to see, is someone actually try it again and stick more to the actual story line. There could be a trilogy there if done right. Love the books and I would love to see it done right, or at least better.
nzswanny If you're going to see this film, expecting great special effects, just let me pause you for a second. This film has pretty bad special effects, I must say, and I don't think they will be very impressive to you, either.This film has every fantasy cliché in the book, which is the main flaw of this film basically. The whole plot line, the character's behaviour, the...DRAGON...it all makes up for a very cliché movie. I think the main reason some want to see it, though, is because the special effects may be good. They're not, so don't!This film is watchable, but it's still not really worth watching. If you had to watch it, you'd be able to, but I don't think you'd enjoy it. The music in this film wasn't very good either, and it was a bit cheesy. The pacing for the story goes by way too fast, and it's a bit hard to keep up with what's going on. I prefer steady pace in films, or a calming, patient pace, rather than a "QUICK, JUMP TO THE NEXT SCENE!" pace. This film is basically what you'd expect for a decent straight-to-DVD film. So, I recommend you don't watch this at the cinema (because the special effects are horrendous), and just watch it for free if you get a legal chance.Overall, I think that the film was watchable, but I won't be watching it again. 5.8/10.
mistoppi Everyone said not to watch this because it's bad, and guess what, they were right. And it's not as if the story itself is somehow really bad, it just feels empty and hollow. It info-dumps the lore on you in the beginning and then you're just going to have to remember and understand it. If you want to understand, you clearly need to read the book, but everyone who has read the book says the movie is so awful compared to that. It's hard to be invested in the characters or the story when you're not exactly sure what is going on, and at the end, what was even achieved?
Gwyll Gwyllin I really love this tale. I like the idea of dragons and riders, but the actor Ed Speleers was the worst choice. IMHO even Rowan Atkinson would better. He has charm in his smile but that's all good in him. He can't act and can't speak.Still ... Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, Robert Carlyle and John Malkovich made the movie better. Jeremy Irons' almost rude, but wise style is frenetic. Robert Carlyle has many faces that very useful to be the main evil.Finally ... that texts are a bit annoying. Be careful, you be careful, no, you be careful ...That "7" goes to everybody, except Ed. He deserves 3.
