Empire Queen: The Golden Age of Magic

Don't know where to start with this.

I love a campy fantasy as much as the next man, but this is just a bit pants.

The acting. Wooden, but not wooden in an over played kind of way, it's just, well.. it's wooden.

Think a porn film, & you're close. Some of the actors & actresses look like any second they're going to "whip out my magic wand", if you get what I mean.

The sound is also, haha, wooden. As if recorded within a shed. There's a bit of an echo, bit of background noise. It's just not ever so clear. Some of the sound is also off, not matching up with the actions.

The backgrounds. Not gonna believe this, but it looks wooden. A mass of CGI for interior shots. Looks okay, but looks very flat.

Me & the missus managed about half a painful hour of this before giving up.

I'm giving it a FOUR as it's a good attempt.

I wanted to like it, I wanted it to be not too serious.

It's not for me...

Empire Queen was recommended to us by Prime Video analytics. -Thanks Amazon. Had honestly never heard of it before, but we were very surprised.

At a time when the world is getting so depressing, and turning on the TV NEWS should only be done at your own risk, it was refreshing to find a film that made us all feel good, laugh, and believe that miracles can happen.

I Read that the idea for the movie came from a music video. Have not seen that yet, but will have to look that up. I especially enjoyed the balance of humor, magic,and drama. The actors were all new to me, but that seems to happen more and more these days. All the leads were good and believable. Liked the masked villain, and the lead Actress... plus the music is fantastic

If you want an enjoyable distraction from our troubled times, I am happy to recommend this film. - It's well worth the watch.

Rocco and the guys at MEGA64 Podcast gave this film a great review on their YouTube show. So we thought we would check it out on Amazon Prime. I watched it with my girlfriend and we both had such a good time. We thought it was funny, exciting and just a good time movie. The locations are fantastic. It looks like an expensive indy film, and we totally celebrate that. Am getting kind of tired of the 200Mil studio flix and their overly done CGI,. This movie had a good balance of real world locations that made us feel like we took a vacation for 2+ hours. Thanks Mega64, you are right, this is a really fun film, that made for a terrific weekend watch.

I laughed out loud at this movie but from the wrong reasons. It was like watching a really bad porn movie with the porn erased, horrible acting and actors.

Think the story is about an evil queen, good witch, noble but stupid knight, a hustler and seafarer. All looking for a map that reveals a powerful treasure or something. Their path is sprinkled with totally pointless small storys about drpping rocks and such.

All girls wearing full make-up, fake eye lashes and push-up bras allover in all scenes even on the run in the forest for days.

Poor directing with non stop music throghout the whole movie, non stop.

Some okay effects for magic, dragons. And some really bad effects, spirit, shrinken troll etc. Even for beeing a low budget movie.

Costumes and weapons look a bit masquerade, to well polished, vibrant and plastic.

I knew this was an indie and wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised when I finally watched it. Empire Queen totally delivers! The comedy is adorably charming, with laugh-out-loud moments that are as cute as they are clever. The action is well thought out and enjoyable, balancing excitement with playful twists. Not to mention the stunning locations. I love the feeling of being exported to another world, adding a magical backdrop to this whimsical adventure. Empire Queen is a must-watch for anyone who loves a fun, feel-good film that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I would love to see a sequel!
