Les Maîtres des sortilèges: Les Terres du seigneur Dragon

I had seen this series when I was about 10 years old. I could not remember all the plots, but this is one of my favorite show. The boat-like device which was used to travel between dimension was just awesome. Did not seen the original one before this, so it looked more better. It may not deserve all 10 stars (deserve 8 stars), but as it was my favorite show in childhood, I gave it perfect score. Graphics and sounds may be questionable for today's viewers, but that time it was enough.

The story and the cast are great .one of my favorite show when I was a kid .

After so many years it is still highly watchable, adequately exciting. Almost all of the cast members show great talent, with Ashka being the most dazzling as expected. I don't know what it is about her, but when she screams out orders, you just want to obey after saying yes m'am, LOL.

I like the multiple universes being introduced this time, compared to the first season where only two parallel worlds were crossed. The one with the mechanicals is especially interesting. Be that as it may, I am a bit underwhelmed by the "Chinese" world they have created. Perhaps if they had chosen to use mandarin with subtitles, or translator, it would have felt more convincing.

Also, Ryan Kwanten is such an eye candy with that baby face. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks the entire time because he is that adorable.

I'm glad they chose to retain the soundtrack. It is rather iconic, evoking a sense of nostalgia, adventure, and tension.

I absolutely loved season 1, but season 2 was far too long.

The first 10-12 episodes were good, albiet a little slow, but it starts to get a little convoluted and hard to follow. It would have worked much tighter as a 13 episode season rather than pad out 26 episodes with nonsensical stories and immature side plots. Meanwhile, other aspects that should be explained in more detail are simply overlooked.

It had such a promising cast including Heather Mitchell, Peter O'Brien, well-known child actor Lauren Hewitt and future superstar Ryan Kwanten, but this series is by no means the best work of any of them.

I fondly remember watching 1997's "Spellbinder: Land of the Dragon Lord" when I was in year seven, but didn't remember much aside from the vague storyline. Rewatching it nearly twenty years later was like watching it all over again. A great cast, lots of interesting storylines, some creepy parallel worlds and the return of the evil Spellbinder Ashka, in a joint Australian-Polish-Chinese production, the likes of which they don't make anymore. Yes, I know that makes me sound old.

Lauren Hewett and 'True Blood' alum Ryan Kwanten lead a strong cast. Heather Mitchell is great as Ashka. Cool to see Australian vet Peter O'Brien playing Crazy Carl.

They matched and bettered "Spellbinder" for mine, with plenty of nods to the original series. Just wish we had gotten a cameo from Paul, Riana or Correon.
