Rival kings in the dark ages attempt to unite and defeat an alien dragon menace.
Rating:2/10 A movie that had a decent premise to it, but boy, was the ball dropped. I liek the fact that the dragons came from outer space. Gave it a bit of a sci-fi feeling to it. The dragons looked alright as well. Sometimes they looked cartoonish, sometimes they looked downright nasty. But when you write a bad script and throw in horrendous acting, a potentially good idea is made into rubbish. The direction was awful. I can't believe that they tried to force as much humor into this as they could. It didn't work. You could tell how easy it was forced. It reminds of a kid who is trying to hard to liked and you can't stand him for that reason. That is the same thing with this movie. The director was trying to hard to make us like this movie. The action sequences had zero tension. You could easily tell who would be killed off and who wouldn't be. And it was very predictable as to how they would be killed off. But the main probem with this movie was the acting. I didn't see one good acting performance in this movie worth mentioning. I was so happy to see the dragon eat those teenage kids when they were exploring the cave at night. Those kids were so annoying, I just couldn't believe that the writers wrote these kids in and the kids themselves were this horrible. All I can do is shake my head. That is all.
