I was thrilled when I stumbled upon "Dragonquest" and saw that Marc Singer starred in a sword and sorcery fantasy movie. But my thrill was cut brutally short when I saw that it was a movie by The Asylum and that Brian Thompson was portraying the villain.
And true to the mockbuster legacy that The Asylum is known for, then "Dragonquest" is one another such countless titles spewed out by the intrepid machinery at The Asylum. "Dragonquest" is a blatant rip off of the Tolkien fantasy classic, just instead of a ring then it is a pendant.
As much as I wanted to like or enjoy this movie given my lifelong romance with fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons, then "Dragonquest" was a poor movie with very Little entertainment value.
The characters were one-dimensional and had the personalities of wet cardboard cutouts. And most laughable of all was the Maxim character; whom was a mutated hybrid between Yoda and Popeye, it was such a blemish on Marc Singer's usual performance.
As with just about every other movie spewed forth from The Asylum, then the special effects were laughable and looked like something straight out of an 1980's movie.
And the final confrontation between Arkadi (who looks awfully much like Frodo) and Kirill (the villain) was utterly anti-climatic and rushed.
If you enjoy fantasy movies, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one.
