Empire Queen: The Golden Age of Magic

These actors (especially the leads) should definitely uncheck English (British) Accents off all of their casting websites. Within five seconds I could tell they were not British. They were so bad it was hard to submerge myself into the story. It would have been better if they spoke without it.

The story was mid, boring, and all of the place. There were so many random scenes that added absolutely nothing to the overall plot. The narration explaining what was happening was not it for me and unnecessary. A good story doesn't need to tell the viewer what is happening.

I will never watch this again.

We were very pleasantly surprised by how fun and adventures this new fantasy film is. Plus, the cinematography, costumes and score are first class, and really lifted the experience for us.

We noticed that its not a studio film either, rather an independent, which makes it even more impressive. Our whole family really enjoyed it. Laughed out loud a few times too. (Fart Dart-Ha)

It's very good for kids. (our son is 10 and daughter 14) It has a Princess Bride flavor to it, and that is rare. We gave it 8 Stars, and would watch it again (especially my son)

Of note, the two female leads, Ciel Post, and Mary Elise Hayden, are terrific playing against each other.

At first we were concern by the longer running time, and worried the kids might get bored. Its not the case here, we were surprised how fast and well paced the movie is. - Hope they do a sequel!

Don't know where to start with this.

I love a campy fantasy as much as the next man, but this is just a bit pants.

The acting. Wooden, but not wooden in an over played kind of way, it's just, well.. it's wooden.

Think a porn film, & you're close. Some of the actors & actresses look like any second they're going to "whip out my magic wand", if you get what I mean.

The sound is also, haha, wooden. As if recorded within a shed. There's a bit of an echo, bit of background noise. It's just not ever so clear. Some of the sound is also off, not matching up with the actions.

The backgrounds. Not gonna believe this, but it looks wooden. A mass of CGI for interior shots. Looks okay, but looks very flat.

Me & the missus managed about half a painful hour of this before giving up.

I'm giving it a FOUR as it's a good attempt.

I wanted to like it, I wanted it to be not too serious.

It's not for me...

I laughed out loud at this movie but from the wrong reasons. It was like watching a really bad porn movie with the porn erased, horrible acting and actors.

Think the story is about an evil queen, good witch, noble but stupid knight, a hustler and seafarer. All looking for a map that reveals a powerful treasure or something. Their path is sprinkled with totally pointless small storys about drpping rocks and such.

All girls wearing full make-up, fake eye lashes and push-up bras allover in all scenes even on the run in the forest for days.

Poor directing with non stop music throghout the whole movie, non stop.

Some okay effects for magic, dragons. And some really bad effects, spirit, shrinken troll etc. Even for beeing a low budget movie.

Costumes and weapons look a bit masquerade, to well polished, vibrant and plastic.

Empire Queen was recommended to us by Prime Video analytics. -Thanks Amazon. Had honestly never heard of it before, but we were very surprised.

At a time when the world is getting so depressing, and turning on the TV NEWS should only be done at your own risk, it was refreshing to find a film that made us all feel good, laugh, and believe that miracles can happen.

I Read that the idea for the movie came from a music video. Have not seen that yet, but will have to look that up. I especially enjoyed the balance of humor, magic,and drama. The actors were all new to me, but that seems to happen more and more these days. All the leads were good and believable. Liked the masked villain, and the lead Actress... plus the music is fantastic

If you want an enjoyable distraction from our troubled times, I am happy to recommend this film. - It's well worth the watch.
