Age of the Dragons

This movie is so full of clichés that it could actually be a spoof.

• Bad acting (especially the main characters with their permanent "WTF??" look on their faces)That's why Danny Glover seemed like he was overacting cause he was one of the only talented actors in the movie.

• From the beginning almost everything that will happen later is obvious

• The good-guy & the cool chick everyone has a crush on are the main characters (as always)

• Almost nothing that happens has a deeper meaning or reason

• Most of the characters are so flat that you will be disappointed if you want to know a lot about their background stories.

• Many things the characters do don't make any sense

If you have never seen a movie before or if you want to have a good laugh you might like the movie.

The movie was funnier than its Outtakes. Without wanting to be.

It started out fine, the Camera work, Animation and all the effort put into the visual aspect of the movie was GREAT, in fact at times seemed FANTASTIC !, but the Acting was a DOGs Breakfast, brought down the whole plot !. As i watched this visually pleasing movie, I only prayed the acting would get better and well it didn't, all i could think of was how they tried to implement "BOOK" dialog into a MOVIE, almost WORD FOR WORD, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ???, The funniest part is when some of them don't know how to express their emotions, I mean the whole plot was confusing to say the least, how did that thing even move for days...?, a 4x4 under the hood ?, no smoke or wind or horse driven, then how the hell does it move, show us something..., this thing is a JOKE !

I thought the basic idea to remake Moby Dick in a slightly steam-punk version with dragons was intriguing enough. Sure, this is probably not gonna be a film for the ages, but it could be entertaining for ninety minutes.

But it's just horrible. Oh so horrible. The acting is some of the worst I have ever seen, if I account for the fact that they did indeed use professional actors. Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones have never been praised for their craft when playing the shallow roles they've played before. Here now, they are cast in character roles and that is a disaster. Jones tries to summon some gravitas by constantly suckling on this wee pipe of his and it looked ridiculous. The other male actors are underwhelming at best. They seem to have been selected because they all resemble other (more talented) actors.

The female lead was clearly cast based on "Who was the hottest chick that showed up?" Her acting is the worst.

The screenplay is just clown shoes. But the real highlight of this thing is the "ship". It looks like a carrack without sails, but wheels instead. It moves forward by means of ... erm, nobody knows. At the very least, they should have lamp-shaded it. But no.

This thing is only a 2/10 because the dragon special effects are somewhat decent. Somewhat. Otherwise it would be a 1/10.

I don't understand all the hate and the 1/10 for this movie. Sure it won't be my movie of the year, or i can't say i was amaze by it, but i was sure entertained. The special effect are better than what i expected for a movie i came across randomly without any theatre release. The chicks is hot and i like her character just like Ishmael. People complain about the acting, maybe its cause i watched the movie in french(dubbed) but it was very correct, nothing to complain on this...

Basically i watched this at late night whitout expecting much and i was entertain and liked it. I saw way worse movie with bigger budget, and even winning Oscars...(ahem... hurtlocker...)

This adaption of Moby Dick was terrible! I love SciFi and watched the whole thing anyway. Basically, it's dragons in stead of whales and a white dragon in stead of a white whale. It features a crazy land-ship that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside; it sleeps eight people in separate quarters, kitchen/dining/storage and office in a vehicle the size of a bus. Propulsion of the ship left me scratching my head too - no sails, no horses pulling it, no steam engine, it just rolls on wooden wheels in an age of harpoons and cross bows - I didn't get it. The effects were reasonably good. I liked most of the actors. But the premise, story line and dialog were so bad that it took down the entire movie to a (1) "awful".
