O Último Dragão

This movie's a mix of good and horrible acting, directing and editing. Hard to stay interested tho it might be a good story because there doesn't seem to be any new ideas... kind of a copy of other dragon-sword fight movies but this is an action adventure movie, so imo the action should be much better and the adventure should be something different from what's been done already.

Great, another movie made by Live Action Role-Playing enthusiasts.

I stumbled upon the 2022 fantasy movie "Dragon Knight" by random luck, and having played fantasy role-playing games for just about 36 years, then of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer Sarah Daly and director Lawrie Brewster had to offer.

Turns out that they didn't have a whole lot to offer. This movie was low budget and amateurish at best. Everything just permeated a stench of LARP (Live Action Role-Playing) to high heavens. And that is just not something I want to watch on the screen. If I had an interest in LARPing, I would venture out to one of the local forests and have a gander at the geeks dressing up as goblins and wizards.

I am sure that the concept of the storyline in "Dragon Knight" was fair enough, however it should have been kept away from camera lenses in a dark, dense forest full of nerds and geeks playing dress-up.

For a fantasy movie then "Dragon Knight" was a heavy swing with a two-handed sword, but both the writer and the director apparently rolled a natural 1 on their skill check and fumbled most horribly. The movie was atrociously bad.

I managed to sit through 30 minutes, and the narrative was so slow and uneventful that I believed that I had sat through more than an hour. So I was rather shocked when only 30 minutes had passed. And the pacing of the story was one of the major reasons for why I opted to end the suffering after 30 minutes. This movie was just simply not worth the time of day.

The acting performances in "Dragon Knight" were amateurish. Again, I am going to draw the LARP card here, because the performances felt like that. And lead actor Ryan Livingstone (playing Braedyn) was just downright laughably bad to witness on the screen as he was growling forcefully through every single syllable of dialogue. Granted, I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list here, and that is usually something I do enjoy when watching movies. But "Dragon Knight" hardly qualified as a proper movie, so go figure.

As much as I enjoy the fantasy genre, then truth of the matter is that most of the movies out there are not really worth the effort. And "Dragon Knight" didn't turn out to be any different. If you enjoy fantasy movies, don't waste your time, money or effort on this movie from writer Sarah Daly and director Lawrie Brewster.

My rating of "Dragon Knight" lands on a glorious two out of ten stars.

There's 3 basic comparative tiers for medieval fantasy.. You have your Lord of the Rings/Game of thrones at the top, the Arrowstorm Entertainment products as the solid middle (Mythica, The Outpost), and then you have essentially LARP on film. This one falls a ways below Mythica, but it's better than some of the LARPs that look like a weekend project. I'll give it a generous 3 for effort, and for some small bits and pieces of decentness. But to be fair, even some of the low budget/campy D&D movies are much better than this.

This film is a mix of decent but not incredible acting... decent but not incredible cinematography, decent but not incredible vfx and a decent but not incredible story.

It's not as bad as most low budget fantasy movies, and it's clear that some love and effort has gone into this. This is why I would "Dragon Knight" a five out of 10? Would I watch more fantasy films from Lawrie Brewster?

I would give that a carefully considered yes.

The final battle scene was especially impressive given the modest budget, with hundreds of warriors and a fairly convincing 3d dragon.

For fans of Fantasy B-Movies, this is a solid 6 out of 10, for regular folks this is a 5. I'd ignore some of these childish edge lord reviews, and I'd challenge anyone to recommend any low budget fantasy movies made in the last 10 years that are comparable to this except for the Mythica series.

I'd recommend this for fans of independent film, Mythica... and perhaps even the old Dragonheart movies.

I love watching Dragon and Magic genre movies, but for this one I am glad I started drinking first. It's so low budget and comical acting that now I can't stop watching it. I think it might be a younger generation version to compete with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." If a killer rabbit comes on screen I am hooked. Only 281 characters left before I am allowed to submit this review. Dang, just realized spaces don't count as characters like text message apps do. 132 characters left. Wow, the hot villain chick already turned to the good side. Wow, the geek has already fell behind the knights.. enough characters so "Submit Review"
