Dragon Kingdom

When you try to make the lord of the ring ...and you end with a bad fan fiction with heavy budget (for a fan fiction)

Seriously don't waste your time. The only good thing about this movie is a few of the bad guys have good makeup and the Princess is pretty. But still, big NOPE.

Let's start with the positives. There are some decent special effects. There has been some respectable fight choreography. Some of the top cast do their best with the execrable material, singling out Richard and George, and maybe Elizabeth for this. Even the King recovers some credit in the last scene.

But: the design, the ludicrous story, the feeble connects, the lowest of low budgets and some of the worst acting ever seen on the silver screen make this a near total waste of time. Prince Favian's character acts as if he is in a nativity play, but is conscious he's not the best thing in that nativity play. The story doesn't hang together for thirty seconds at a time. You can always forgive a low budget, but that is usually covered up by tight scripts and good acting. Not here. It's as if so much of the budget went on a couple of dragon scenes there wasn't any left for writers, designers, or actors.

Don't waste 90 minutes of your life on this.

This looks like a bunch of LARP (Live Action Role Playing) enthousiasts pooled some money, and made a film together. If you ask me, they should have kept it to themselves for private viewing only. If you are a fantasy fan, don't waste your time with this,it's not worth 85 minutes of anyones life. I'll give it a 2 for the effort since I don't hand out a score of 1 easily.

This movie is living proof of what you can achieve with £1000, a dozen Halloween costumes off of ebay and a camera. I genuinely believe they snook into a couple of heritage sites before any visitors came in and quickly shot some scenes. Really don't bother.
