Les Maîtres des sortilèges: Les Terres du seigneur Dragon

I fondly remember watching 1997's "Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord" when I was in year seven, but didn't remember much aside from the vague storyline. Rewatching it nearly twenty years later was like watching it all over again. A great cast, lots of interesting storylines, some creepy parallel worlds and the return of the evil Spellbinder Ashka, in a joint Australian-Polish-Chinese production, the likes of which they don't make anymore. Yes, I know that makes me sound old.

Lauren Hewett and 'True Blood' alum Ryan Kwanten lead a strong cast. Heather Mitchell is great as Ashka. Cool to see Australian vet Peter O'Brien playing Crazy Carl.

They matched and bettered "Spellbinder" for mine, with plenty of nods to the original series. Just wish we had gotten a cameo from Paul, Riana or Correon.

I had seen this series when I was about 10 years old. I could not remember all the plots, but this is one of my favorite show. The boat-like device which was used to travel between dimension was just awesome. Did not seen the original one before this, so it looked more better. It may not deserve all 10 stars (deserve 8 stars), but as it was my favorite show in childhood, I gave it perfect score. Graphics and sounds may be questionable for today's viewers, but that time it was enough.

According to Buddhism, There are 16 No of parallel worlds for human, 09 for heaven, 06 for Hell. When I see this story, I always remember it.

Every Saturday morning I couldn't wait to wake up and watch Spellbinders 2. Spellbinders 2 screened on TV before the original and because it was the first one to show I thought it was more original than the first one and I enjoyed it more even though at times that spend too much time in one world/realm or another. I thought the story was original and kept me eagerly waiting for more. All I remember the story being about is a young Australian girl and her older brother who somehow travel to different worlds/realms and have adventures. Spellbinders are people who while wearing some suit have powers. Each episode was another amazing adventure some worlds they went to were Ancient China, An opposite world where everything was opposite eg:In the 'real world' there neighbour was a plumber and in the other he was a celebrity and a place where there were these spooky robots with no faces that looked like humans which use to scare me. If you are looking for a great children's show then watch this it is rare but they came out with the first one on DVD so them should be coming out with this one soon hopefully.

I absolutely loved season 1, but season 2 was far too long.

The first 10-12 episodes were good, albiet a little slow, but it starts to get a little convoluted and hard to follow. It would have worked much tighter as a 13 episode season rather than pad out 26 episodes with nonsensical stories and immature side plots. Meanwhile, other aspects that should be explained in more detail are simply overlooked.

It had such a promising cast including Heather Mitchell, Peter O'Brien, well-known child actor Lauren Hewitt and future superstar Ryan Kwanten, but this series is by no means the best work of any of them.
