Mythica: The Godslayer

This movie doesn't get the credit it deserves. The fighting and action sequences kept getting better from the original, as did the special effects ... a bit surprising based on the low budget, although it did increase over time.

It was the longest of the movies and brought everything together with a satisfying ending. And the characters continued to develop all the way into the last movie ... in fact especially in the last movie.

Oh, apparently there's some kind of fad to call out Kevin Sorbo for bad acting. For those who don't know, Sorbo (HERCULES) was the big name to draw in fans to watch a shoe-string budget indie film ... and it worked. His role in each movie increased in general and not only was his acting fine, but his time on the screen was integral to the story. I found myself wanting to see him have a larger role, and I was not disappointed.

Over all, a very solid undertaking.

Mythica: The Godslayer continues where Mythica: The Iron Crown left off. The first half of the film is brilliant and I was completely immersed in the story.

I felt it lost its way though when they were trying to retrieve the Hammer of Tek. I just wish that part had made more sense and Tek's character had been given more to say and do. The story begins to make sense again once we leave Tek and the Underworld behind.

I didn't like the ending at first, it reminded me of another film with a similar ending, but I had another think about it and I realised that it was much smarter than I had first thought. Overall, Mythica: The Godslayer lived up to my expectations, 8/10.

It is difficult to believe the same director who turned Mythica 4 into a comedy made Mythica 5 the incredible film that it is. This is the fifth and final film in the series, and by far the most serious and interesting. We learn so much about the characters and where they come from, and why they are on this quest. The film was actually quite scary at times. It is a vast improvement on Mythica 4 and a fulfilling grand finale. Director John Lyden really treated this final film with respect. The visuals are once again very good. The ending was completely unexpected.

'Mythica' was indeed a fun and exciting series and I definitely would like to watch the entire series again. Well done!

This is not Lord of the Rings. It is not even big budget. What it is, is brilliant achievement given the budget. All the movies are watchable and entertaining, I watched them all on Amazon as soon as they came out.

It's not high art, but in my opinion this pentology is a worthy effort and well worth watching. It starts off slow with part 1 (A Quest for Heroes) featuring a slave girl (Melanie Stone) gradually coming into her power as a necromancer, or sorceress wielding dark magic.

Although the first movie has a satisfying ending, you may still thirst for more adventures in the Mythica universe. Fortunately, there are four more, queued up and ready to roll!

The movies gather steam, and darkness, culminating in The Godslayer, the high-stakes finale of the series. There is enough magic, and swords, and evil sorcerers, and good sorceresses, and even a couple of gods, to satisfy everyone.

Some people call it some kind of B-grade kickstarter movie, but in my opinion it's a captivating and charming series, B or C or whatever. The actors are sincere and skillful, the writing moves the story along, and the special effects (where they even exist) are minimalist but effective.

Now I wonder if there will ever be a sequel, but really, five movies is plenty, and in 2-3 years I will definitely be watching this one again!
