Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord

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.

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.

The story and the cast are great .one of my favorite show when I was a kid .

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.

After so many years it is still highly watchable, adequately exciting. Almost all of the cast members show great talent, with Ashka being the most dazzling as expected. I don't know what it is about her, but when she screams out orders, you just want to obey after saying yes m'am, LOL.

I like the multiple universes being introduced this time, compared to the first season where only two parallel worlds were crossed. The one with the mechanicals is especially interesting. Be that as it may, I am a bit underwhelmed by the "Chinese" world they have created. Perhaps if they had chosen to use mandarin with subtitles, or translator, it would have felt more convincing.

Also, Ryan Kwanten is such an eye candy with that baby face. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks the entire time because he is that adorable.

I'm glad they chose to retain the soundtrack. It is rather iconic, evoking a sense of nostalgia, adventure, and tension.
