I never thought that House of the Dragon was boring. To have emotional investment in the characters, you got to have buildup, space for them to breathe.

I loved all of this, watching the battle had me at the edge of my seat. I don't really remember the time when I was invested emotionally in a cast of characters this much. Ignore reviewers who claim they are so much smarter than anyone in the show. Drama comes from the personalities, how they interact and what their core beliefs are. In this regard House of the Dragon is near perfection, I think it's very well written and it came shining through this episode.

The dance of the dragons has begun and I'm eager to see more of this beautiful series.

Hoped for a good, Hungarian war film. Well, that's not it. I was excited to see it since I first saw the trailer. I had high expectations I guess. I wasn't expecting to see battles or Hollywood level spectacle. I kind of knew this will be a slow burn and restrained production, but nothing prepared me for the utter boredom, that I have experienced. Though being boring isn't the biggest sin of this film. It's the very very bad acting. I don't know if people who don't speak Hungarian could perceive this aspect. As a native speaker I can tell you listening to the lines delivered here was torture to my brain. Like they filmed only one take of every scene and said, good enough. The only cast member who felt like a real human being and wasn't totally out of place, was the protagonist. He was believable. And that's the only positive I can say. I can't recommend it.
