I Was a 7th Grade Dragon Slayer

This movie is cute and charming. It seems younger kids will almost always like it. Adult reaction is obviously mixed. Our two younger kids, ages 6 & 9 loved it. Two others kids that saw it with us, ages 10 and 13 thought it was good but were not as excited about it as the younger ones. None of them were too scared during any of the more intense parts.

Keep in mind, this is a very low budget movie.

For instance, I know there are over 250 visual effects shots (many of which are invisible) They were all done very quickly within 3 months time by two guys for about the price of your average minivan.

What was Avatar's effects budget?

As a adult who grew up in the 80's I must say I found this movie to be a lot of fun. It is extremely hokey and retro to say the least. I was expecting this to be about "teenage" dragon slayers, maybe have an element of D&D or something a little bit more edgy than what I got. This movie is a throwback to the 80's but more in the direction of the goonies than the lost boy.s

This movie captures that innocent fun that we all used to have before hormones started kicking in and life seemed to get so darn serious. Anyone who enjoyed the goonies or other "live action cartoon" type film from your child hood you'll get a big kick out of this one. Im giving this a 10 out of 10 because it does a PERFECT job at being it was meant to be.

I am sorry, but this movie is the worst fantasy film ever made. The acting was horrible and the story was so poor that no wonder the dialog was pure torture. I was expecting to be at the least, entertained, and at the most, to be involved. I was neither. The characters were not believable, nor was the plot. Teens will find this laughable. Even young children will be bored. It is unfortunate that it seems that most of the money was spent on very poor special effects. A true disappointment.

The one highlight of the film is the music. At least it was entertaining.

I do not recommend this film to anyone. A total waste of time.

This movie is about elixir quest card game. The card game was brought to life in this magical movie! With magical potions and help from his friends, will Arthur be able to defeat the dragon? Find out in the movie. Now for the review: Story: Arthur and his friends realized elixir quest came to life. So they went to the sewers to deal with the evil dragon. But got caught by the principle. The principle found Arthur mom being irresponsible mother as she says that she works late or went dating. So something is suspicious about the principle. And you will find out why in the movie. The story is awesome!. But some parts of the script needs to be rewritten. Because some parts are unnecessary. I rate it 8/10. Dialogue: its OK. I rate it 6/10 Cast: pretty well matched with the characters. I rate it 8/10 Overall: its a great film to watch! May have some unnecessary parts in it. But its great! I rate it 8/10!

OK, so it ain't 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'... Heck, it isn't even 'How to Train Your Dragon' or 'Monster House'!...

What it is, however, despite the awful CGI and campy production (which may actually be a "plus")... This movie is just plain fun for children or any adult who ever played a "Trading Card" game in a previous life.

(I actually was not one of them) ...or any other adult who can suspend dis-believability for the sake of their geek-children.

'Kids, these days! :-)
