this is a story driven film, its almost all dialogue and very little special effects, i gave it three stars because for a dialogue based movie the audio volume was not constant for each character making it a little hard to hear what was being said. i would have given it four. i liked it, it is like listening to an audio book with some pictures. the story is good and i would say if you have and hour and a half to kill give it a watch.
The Asylum presents DRAGON…or…a long stroll through a forest...where the small cast stands around and talks-yaps-blathers, endlessly. Stroll. Stop. Yap. Stroll. Stop. Yap. You get the picture. Yes, there is a dragon, a cartoon creation that blows smoke and a bit of fire. People come, people go, there’s some swordplay, but mostly it’s just standing around yapping There are no sets. No change of scenery, just trees and a few repeated mountain shots. And small talk. And trees… Filmed entirely on location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I found the movie to be tedious and boring. I really don't think it deserves to be distributed as it is so lackluster.
There are magnificent scenery and beautiful fjords and mountains. Maybe watch it silently and enjoy the beautiful mountains and valleys. Great photography.

"Dragon" is a low-budget fantasy movie. It a mockbuster that capitalizes on the "Eragon" books and movie. Despite that fact, the movie is enjoyable.
Good: Overall the good outweighs the bad. * Most of the characters have personality, and each character has his own motives and dedication. * The male and female characters are equally strong and mature. * The movie usually makes sense. * The musical score is good.
Bad: Some of the bad points stick out and lower the enjoyment of this movie. * The movie is lightweight; the sense of scale and importance is limited. * The fey elf character is unnecessary, though she serves as a link between the Necromancer and the humans. * The dragon is low-budget CGI; ignore the dragon or just pretend that dragons look like low-budget CGI. * One of the actresses has a stuffed-nose or sinus blockage during one scene
Interesting: * The movie does not have nudity and does not have any cursing. * The amount of blood is low. * The voiceovers at the beginning and end of the movie bookend the movie nicely rather than serving as some last-minute filler.
Overall, "Dragon" is a fun movie. Sequels are welcome if they are at least as good as this movie.
Dragon by Asylum Studios is a combination of every fantasy movie out there, with the heaviest influences coming from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Eragon. There are the elves and dark elves, a hero with an unknown parent/destiny, dragons linked to their riders, and enough lines lifted directly from Star Wars and LOTR to make someone geeky enough to recognize the lines giggle (I count myself in that group since I did). Even though this is a direct mix of these movies, it somehow manages to become it's own appealing film.
Dragon is one of those movies that just grow on you, and before you know it you like it. In places the acting is wooden, and the lines are cheesy. The Dragon and special effects were obviously created at home on someone's computer. But this movie becomes a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. It comes a fun, compelling little fantasy movie that you want to finish watching.
This movie is supposed to be part of a trilogy (another Star Wars/LOTR lift) but I do hope they make the other two. I, for one, will add them to my collection.
If you're a serious fantasy fan and you think Tolkien is high literature and you can't stand the thought of someone spoofing LOTR this is NOT the movie for you. However, if you can stand a little camp and you're looking for a fun, enjoyable movie to fill 90 minutes of your life with brainless fantasy fun and smiles, this one is a GREAT bet.
Seriously I didn't think I would like this film since I got it in a dollar bin. But I did enjoy it its corny and short but I enjoyed it alot. I loved the Necromancer character she was awesome. It kinda reminded me of guildwars a little. The dragon was cool for what it was Its clear that it is a beginers try at computer graphics but hey I'm not complaining I can't even come up with a stick figure on my computer ;-) The movie is Truely enjoyable. the storyline isn't to bad if you can get passed the fact that everything seemed cramed a bit as if they didn't have the time to perfect it but still its worth watching. However my big disappointment lies in the fact that it doesn't seem to be complete. It was quickly summed up at the end quickly cutting loose ends here and there but the box said its a trilogy? My question to all you Fantasy fans out there is Where are the other two movies??? I mean you get me hooked and then you leave me dry?? whats up with that? Anyway I suggest if you truely love fantasy films and you don't mind the corny special effects to give it a go but be warned you may be disappointed because it doesn't continue.
For this to be a bargain-bin movie, it is actually the best one I've seen yet. Directed by Leigh Scott and starring Eliza Swenson, Amelia Jackson-Gray, Jon-Paul Gates and Jeff Denton; this 2006 film is about Princess Vanir who must traverse the haunted forest of Sidhe in a desperate attempt to save her kingdom from an advancing army of dark elves. With the help of Cador and Artemir, they encounter a mysterious sorceress, an army of elves and a dragon hellbent in standing in their way. Considering this is part of a trilogy, I'm looking forward to the sequels in everyway. This movie might not be liked by most who saw it but, for those of us who accept it for what it is, it isn't that bad a flick. You can tell the movie was made on a modest budget but I've seen worse movies made for more.
This film has everything I look for in an epic fantasy movie, especially trees. What I don't like about the LORD OF THE RINGS is that there are only bits that take place in trees, like with the ents when they are walking around, but there are long bits with no trees at all. It is the same with THE HOBBIT, not enough trees, except for some bits. I don't think there is any trees at all in LABYRINTH. But this film has lots of trees! In fact there is nothing except trees. All of the scenes are of heroes standing about in trees talking about things. That is why I like this film so much. The only thing I don't like is the DVD cover, which has no trees on it, this is misleading, in fact I almost didn't buy this because I didn't see any trees on the DVD cover, so it was a really nice surprise when I did buy it and lo and behold, it was 90 minutes of tree goodness!!!
Storia bellina comunque per chi ama il genere fantastico da vedere...Nel disperato tentativo di salvare il proprio regno dall’attacco della possente armata degli Elfi Oscuri, la principessa Vanir deve attraversare la pericolosa foresta di Sidhe, abitata da spiriti maligni. Con l’aiuto di due leali scudieri come Cador e Artemie, la Principessa fronteggerà l’esercito degli Elfi....
salve la pellicola è scarsa con attori ed effetti visivi piatti, non ci sono scene particolari o attori a cui affezionarsi, non rilascia assolutamente niente...passate oltre!!!
