Dragon (2006)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Please don't spend money on this.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

DRAGON is an example of The Asylum doing what they're best known for, which is ripping off a Hollywood blockbuster purely to fool people into picking this DVD off the shelf by mistake. This one's a rip-off of ERAGON but turns out to be the usual fantasy junk, full of LORDS OF THE RINGS cliches and very little else. A group of badly acting and mannered characters roam around in the woods in a bid to dispel some dark lord or other, and they tend to wear old cast-offs with bits of chain mail and the like. Some are made up to be elves. There are some limited special effects but the CGI is so bad that they're underused, which is all for the good. As Asylum movies go, this is one of the worst and least entertaining of them all.

If you're thinking of going into acting, watch this film. It will give you great confidence. Assuming the cast actually got paid for their performances (I use the word advisedly), there's hope for anyone who ever played Third Soldier in the school play. In fact, school plays were several cuts above the acting here. The cast wore a permanently bemused expression, as well they might given the awful "special effects" that looked like they were created on a Sinclair Spectrum. The fight scenes were laughable, where the heroes guarding the princess (I think she had a severe skin condition) swished away at thin air (you were supposed to think they were fighting the dragon). The dialogue was written by someone who has never conversed with human beings, and their epic journey about as dangerous as walking to the bus stop. Even if this was done by primary school kids with a camera phone (and it often looked like it), Dragon is tosh.

It's very easy to bash low-budget films, and most do not realise the time, effort and passion that goes into their creation. People only seem to comment on the 'bad' acting, the 'bad' SFX, and the 'bad' dialogue, forgetting - and lets be honest here - that's the whole reason we watch them.However, when a film comes along that spends it's entirety in an utterly featureless forest so that superfluous and forgettable characters can spout exposition of unseen events while trying to create a vague air of looming malevolence by waving swords at the ether, you really begin to wonder... "Dragon - why do you hate me?" There's much to enjoy here - endlessly quotable dialogue for the bad movie fans, and Eliza Swenson always commands attention - but entirely let down by a screenplay chock-full of Leigh Scott's brand of plot-less meanderings and the less-than-seminal notion that trees are now suddenly fun to watch. Well they're not. They're trees.

My family sat to watch this movie and were so terribly disappointed that we couldn't sit through the whole movie. Awful acting and even worse special effects. The cast of yet unknown actors and actresses will remain unknown after a performance like this one. We love the genre and sit and watch LOTR and others like it over and over again. I do not expect every movie caring this type of plot to be great but this was substandard even by the lowest of expectations. We recently watched Eragon and were pleasantly surprised. A cast of little known actors { save Jeremy Irons } was a good movie with proper special effects and decent acting.
