Dragon Soldiers

Entertaining if you like some tongue in cheek naff movies but not in any way a good movie. Acting pretty bad, continuity poor and credibility non existent. Still I watched it till the end for comedy value. Not as bad as Ninja Shark.

As stated in the title and synopsis, this is a movie about a dragon on the loose in small town America and the mercenaries hired to kill it. One does not go into such a movie expecting Dr. Zhivago caliber acting or Avengers level effects. Which is good, because this had neither. But for a B movie, the acting, at least by the main characters, was solid and the dragon, while a little cheesy, looked better than any of the beasties in the old SyFy channel Saturday night movies. The dialogue and plot were decently written, rare things in this genre. Overall, I was well entertained for an hour and half. What more could I ask for?

Actually brilliant If you like terrible movies of the B kind This is for you

Given the movie's title and synopsis, I must admit that I wasn't having much of any high hopes for this 2020 movie titled "Dragon Soldiers" from writer Dan Sinclair and director Hank Braxtan. But since it was a movie that I hadn't already previously seen, and I was given the chance, of course I sat down to watch it.

Well, the concept idea of the movie was ludicrous. I will say that much. I mean, a dragon out somewhere in the mountains. Sure, why not? Just how did it manage to stay hidden? A dragon would consume a massive amount of food, much less be able to stay hidden whilst midflight. Nah, there just were too many plot holes here.

But the movie was actually entertaining enough for what it was - a campy movie that you shouldn't take too serious. It was actually fair enough for mindless entertainment.

The dragon was interesting in design. Sometimes the CGI were quite good, but at other times the CGI were questionable and dubious at best. It made for a strange viewing actually.

Now, a movie such as "Dragon Soldiers" wouldn't warrant any award-winning performances, and you are not in for anything out the of the extraordinary when you watch the actors and actresses perform in this movie.

If you don't mind wasting an hour and a half - give or take - and you enjoy campy movies that makes little sense, by all means go ahead and watch "Dragon Soldiers". However, if you want a movie that is a memorable experience, then this is not the right choice.

My rating of "Dragon Soldiers" lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars.

Had to turn it off. Horrible cast, acting and script. Just painful to endure, even for a few minutes. It will ruin your day.
