One of the most delightful train wrecks I've ever watched,
This review is from: Dragonquest (DVD)
'DragonQuest' is an absolute gem to people who, like me, love camp cinema. At no point in this film did I stop laughing, and I think I actually brushed against death when the song at the end credits started due to lack of sufficient oxygen. If you're looking for a "good" fantasy fiction film, you need to run for the hills. However, if you're looking for a painfully derivative, terribly written and unbelievably over-acted movie, this needs to be in your permanent collection. Marc Singer's "Popeye Meets Yoda" rendition of his character is worth the price of the film on its own, er, merits.You'll never be drawn into the wretched story, but the meta-experience is a complete blast!

This review is from: Dragonquest (DVD)
I'm so glad there are small budget non-grandiose fantasy adventure movies that don't have the best CGI or even so-called academy award winning acting in it. Their just fun (even interesting) movies that aren't reaching for the stars, nonetheless can be good in their own way. DragonQuest (2009) is one of these.The story here is of a fabled world and a reluctant young man (Arkadi/Daniel Bonjour) who is more interested in the ladies yet nevertheless goes on a journey, the path of discovering the seven virtues which is ultimately an inner journey of self-discovery for him. It is a journey which brings victory and his well-being/maturity. And which includes here i might add, a reliable, solid, true companion Katya/Jennifer Dorogi - a strong and well played female part. Kind of a yin/yang thing which also plays into the whole Dragon theme of the story - dragon of light/truth and one of darkness/fear - the real and the unreal. This is done in a non-heavy handed way with a playful wise teacher Maxim/Marc Singer. The only real setback for this though is his "death scene", which is truly ridiculous, and mainly because the scene is so heavy-handed with his last speech being so self-important. It just didn't go well with the rest of his character. But i just looked passed it. Now besides that, the guys who put this together really put some thought into this movie - well made - just don't expect another movie like Lord of the Rings or make any comparison to anything else - just take it for what it is (don't look for perfection) and you might find something interesting and enjoy it.

"YOU MAY CALL ME STRANGER.",
By
This review is from: Dragonquest (DVD)
The plot is an adaptation of "Star Wars" (Hans and Princess Leia combined into one character), for a middle earth movie complete with bad dragons, a quirky Yoda-like instructor, and a boy who must be taught, who isn't ready. The acting is bad. The dragon, fight scenes, and blood are all CG effects, and not very good ones at that. The movie certainly has some MST, it might be funny if stoned quality to it. But for the normal sober viewer this is a big time avoid.In the beginning our horn-dog hero is spying on a young topless girl, then later he won't get into a bath tub with a major league babe. The movie has some gem lines: "You may call me...Stranger." or "You must continue along this route until...you find shelter." No F-bombs, no sex, was that brief teaser nudity in the beginning?
