paulclaassen The visuals are not superior but they certainly are pretty darn good, and much better than the first film. Some visuals were indeed really awesome. Once again, the film has a fantastic score and great locations. It is just a really great action adventure fantasy. I've been longing for a fantasy adventure like this for a while now, and this is it! Adam Johnson is a very likable actor (sort of a gentle giant if you will) and his role in this film becomes a bit more serious than the first one, as we also see a different side of him. Melanie Stone also has a much more demanding role here but she pulls it off with ease! Wonderfully entertaining!!

Leofwine_draca MYTHICA: THE DARKSPORE is the second film in the indie fantasy series that was funded independently via a Kickstarter campaign. You do wonder why they bothered when all the filmmakers seem interested in doing is making yet another LORD OF THE RINGS clone that heavily copies the Tolkien classic. This one is very close to THE TWO TOWERS in its depiction of a band of raiding orcs riding around the plains and slaying victims. The film as a whole looks quite nice and the effects are okay, but the story is A-Z basic and it lacks the professional touch to make it decent.

nightcrawlercyp-311-219346 A number of questions are answered, you have some character development (not too much, but a bit) and the story progresses a bit. The main problem is that Marek is so obsessed by Qole's body and her desire to hump him that she makes bad decision after bad decision. In the end the warnings from the only smart person in the team (that Marek uses like a battery for her powers) , Dagen prove to be correct and Qole to be actually working for the bad dude (did no one except me saw that coming? I mean it was pretty obvious) and betray everyone. I was full of glee as he was killed. But Marek cried for the bastard. Meanwhile the one that saved her at least 3 times so far (Dagen) does not get even a kiss because she thinks of him like her personal slave. Not even a thank you when he comes to save her. She thanks Thane but not Dagen. Is not like Dagen did everything to free her from providing the cash, finding the new owner, making the plan to force him to sign her release... oh wait, he did! At least a thank you kiss would have been in order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rejMgYXSn8I

siderite The party continues on their quest, this time helped by a dark elf with mysterious markings, while a warlock is trying to beat them to their goal. Unfortunately, it seemed like the makers made a lot less effort for this film, especially in the areas of character interaction and storyline. That's unfortunate, especially since I loved A Quest for Heroes.Some commentators focused on the quality of the special effects. I don't care about those, but this is an indicator that those people didn't feel the characters were important or the story inspiring, and that is on the script writer. If the story is great and the characterization well done, no one looks twice on the special effects. I think that, while I still enjoyed the film, more effort should be made to make the viewers feel with the characters in a story that one could believe in.Bottom line: fun film, really inconsistent characters, jumping from love to hate on a whim, and a disappointing and rushed ending that made little sense. I hope the next part will be more engaging.
