A kid swears revenge for his father’s unjust death, and has adventures and stuff along the way.

Fairly good for a TV-movie of this genre. I didn’t happen to particularly enjoy it myself, but it’ll appeal to people who can handle both this quality and genre together.

A bounty hunter from an extinct tribe is hired to undermine the power of an evil king, but the woman he is meant to kill is hot, and complicates things.

As long as it is taken for what it is, it will be entertaining. It is an action movie through and through, and must not be taken as having much of a link to a historical past. It’s not serious, and not meant to be. It’s packed with action, has a reasonable story and its lead character is spectacular.

This has no relation to The Mummy – (2017 movie).

Seeking ancient Egyptian treasure, amateur archaeologists unleash a curse that threatens the world.

Quite good. Light-hearted fun, with comedy that’s not intrusive, plot that makes sense, good acting, and special effects that do their job without being uncanny.

Random people go on a merry adventure looking for Luke.

DO NOT WATCH Not just because it takes a steaming dump overtop of the already steaming dumpyness of the prequels, but because it’s badly written and unresolved. Go and watch The Matrix Reloaded – (2003 movie) instead. That piece of shit somehow has less issues.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

  • Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
  • Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
  • Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow
  • Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

The Last Witch Hunter (2015) 1

The dying breath of the queen of witches curses a man with immortality, who becomes a witch hunter but only one who incarcerates witches, which turns out to be a bad idea because they didn’t see Demolition Man – (1993 movie).

An adequate movie, but doesn’t bring anything interesting. The world, the plot and the characters are all boring. Perfectly fine for people who like bubblegum action fantasy.

A young man survives a dragon attack that kills his father, and he vows revenge.

I guess it’s ok. I like these sorts of fantasy films, but this one wasn’t particularly entertaining.

A recently-acquainted group go on a quest to save the world, and stuff.

If you liked the earlier one, you’ll like this one even more.

A girl escapes slavery and pulls together a band of people to go on a quest.

This outclasses other B-movies or B-TV. If you like the class and genre, you’ll like this.

A fine movie with immeasurable impact on its industry and viewers.
