    I thought this was made by Uwe Boll.

    Just want to say, if you're pondering whether or not you want to see this movie, do not... Just, do not see this film.

    I will sum it up for you here: Badly directed acting, terrible cgi animations, the fight scenes seem like they're made by someone who has no clue what he was doing, laughably easy challenges with obvious, plain stupid or silly solutions, no character development. I feel bad for the actors who appeared in this nightmare and I hope that this, bad though it is, gives them the break to do something better later on.

    I wanted to like this movie, since it's been a while since the last descent fantasy movie, but I couldn't.

    Marc Singer does Cheech Wizard...Verrry welllll !

    DRAGONQUEST Theasylum.cc

    "Remember Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS ? Finally someone got near Anne McCaffrey's Dragon series of books …"

    The character or pedigree of Dragonquest may be suspect,But this is a fun ride on a flame-engorged dragon or one of ice !

    The cast is pretty terrific, Marc Singer ( Who the script was probably written for as writers were kids back when 'Beastmaster' was the 'shite),Is great as a character wizard and reminded me of 'Vaughn Bode' imp from CHEECH WIZARD.

    Brian Thompson,As the evil wizard and lord over Flaming Dragon( Don't Go There !) Is truly menacing and my wife thought very 'Darth Sidious aka Palpatine'from Star Wars films.

    Jason Connery, Was hardly on screen and seemed not committed to his role of down-trodden king.

    The Dragon CGI is impressive and very character-driven, Obviously a plus to goings of of the traveling trio.

    Better than it deserves to be

    This "Lord of the rings" rip-off by mockbuster master The Asylum is a lot better than it deserves to be.

    Daniel Bonjour, obviously cast because he looks a lot like Frodo, plays Arkadi, a youthful adventurer who must collect a number of jewels which, when placed into an amulet that looks like it was bought at Claire's Boutique for $10.95, will for unexplained reasons give him the power to save the world from the evil of a wizard named Kirill, played by Not Ron Perlman.

    He's aided in his quest by two warriors: Katya, whose porn star makeup and lip gloss perfectly match her porn star acting talents, and Maxim, played by ungracefully aging Marc "Beastmaster" Singer, whom the director unwisely required to act like the child of an unholy union between Yoda and Popeye.

    Between the opening scenes of Not Frodo peeping at a hottie villager taking her clothes off for no good reason (Note: you don't even get a peek; don't even bother pausing or backtracking the DVD like I did) and the anticlimactic final battle between Not Frodo and Not Ron Perlman, there's in fact a charming little fantasy story going on, with some pretty location shooting and nice b-roll over mountain vistas and lush forests.

    The dragons are actually pretty neat looking, even though all they really do is fly around and shake their heads back and forth.

    All in all, "Dragonquest" comes off as a bunch of renfaire friends who got together and made their own fantasy movie, with some bargain basement CGI spliced in. On that level, it's a pleasant enough bit of fun.

    Don't pay full price for it; that would just be foolish. But I've seen it on Amazon for about three bucks new, paired on the same DVD with the equally workmanlike Asylum effort "Merlin: War of the Dragons." That's how to buy your bad movies, folks. Get 'em cheap, watch 'em once, sell 'em for a profit at your next garage sale.

    "Dragonquest" isn't worth anything more than that, and doesn't aspire to be.

    Arrr matey, this here be a dragon movie.

    So let's movie on and point out the positives of this finely crafted piece of horribleness.

    1- Mark Singer does his best to channel the pirate Long John Silver as was played in the movie with Robert Newton, except that Mark's character is not a pirate, so that's pretty nifty.

    2- Daniel Bonjour shifts from an American to a British accent and back again in every sing sentence he speaks.

    3- The props appear to be the best stuff one might buy off the shelf at somewhere like Hot Topic. The jewelry... just wow.

    4- Russel Reynolds looks like Spock!

    5- They didn't waste money on expensive 3D graphics, and this is a movie that is better left as cheap as possible.

    6- All the outfits look really clean and new, almost as if they had never been worn before, ever. It's a very clean world in this movie.

    So what is bad about this movie? Nothing. This has everything you could possibly hope for. Film, this is.

    I tried to watch and Lord its now on Blu-Ray

    I'm giving it a 2 out of 10 all because they cast Marc Singer one of my favorite Genre Actors he was a hottie back in the day and made some great sci-fi fantasy films like V, and Beastmaster. Beyond that this movie is awful and I can watch a lot of SyFy originals even some of the really bad ones can be fun to pass a late night when nothing is on mindless plots and bad special visual FX don't bother me as much as extremely terrible dialog and lackluster directing and this movie has both plus not so great CGI. Someone else who reviewed said he thought Uwe Boli directed this, I dare say Uwe might have done better....did I really just say that. I cannot believe this is on Blu-Ray don't even buy it in the discount bin...yikes.
