Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.
A dragon, having, for unknown reasons, landed as a meteorite but on top of a clutch of eggs and somehow not damaging them, heals a not-knight who risked his life for the eggs but actually to steal them is cursed to become the slave of a druid who is for some reason called a sorcerer.
This is basically a high-quality TV-movie but released for the big screen. It’s not dependent on the other movies in this series, which is probably for the best. It’s not great, not particularly good and only worth a one-time watch for people who are fans of this sort of genre.
This is a prequel to the series, set about 100 years before the first movie.
Properly titled Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer’s Curse
The last dragon has been hidden away for fear of his corruption as foretold by a prophesy, but he is discovered by an equally-innocent youth looking for fame, fortune and adventure.
As a TV-movie, it’s not horrible. It’s still most definitely a TV-movie though. This is not B-quality, just TV-quality. Overall it’s not terrible, just not my thing. It very slightly borrows from DragonHeart – (1996 movie), but the proper movie is not mandatory watching.
A princess, being chased by orcs and to be a sacrifice, passes through a gate into our world but the orcs follow her.
If this movie could be considered a B-movie, it is extraordinary. It’s well-written and well-acted, and unlike Orcs! – (2011 movie) there is no comedy and I have no feeling that there is need or room for any. I easily consider this a low-budget A-movie. It was good. Very good. Not surprisingly good, actually good.
I don’t know how strongly I can or should recommend this. My heart melts for Aleya, so I’m pretty sure I’m biased.
While definitely a B-movie, this is well-written and well-acted. It doesn’t really have comedy like most B-movies though, so it doesn’t “work” all that well. Still, I think it’s worth a watch.
An assassin, that everyone knows, does some assassiny things but everyone knows him.
This is basically a long intro to a video game. While not bad, it’s not good. It is rife with over-acting and it felt confused to me. I didn’t stay interested.
I see there are other shorts, but I’m not going to watch them.
I heard of Codehunters from one of those idiotic “10 things you didn’t know”-type YouTube videos. It had a reference to Borderlands – (2009 game) having artwork similarity.
However, it turns out to be Kotaku’s usual bullshit “journalism” based on a reddit comment thread. No, really. For all anyone knows, Kotak-eww made it all up.
Overall, this short is decent. Good enough to deserve the recognition it did. There are plenty of other similar styles and stories which are like this though.
