Best movie of this year hands down!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The first must-see film of the year.

Great movie real great direction. Its really difficult to make a movie out of an anime and even more difficult to make a movie out of an anime game why the lore of-course. We all know movies like dragon ball evolution and Last Airbender. But this movie is superb its trimed neither to fast nor to slow. neither mushy or hard on eyes. It has emotion a bit of laughter and definitely no fan service unlike game.Every character is unique and you can watch it with your kid. You will love liya and lambart and their love story better than twilight. its not very famous because its an Asian movie not backed by any big media houses like pixar or Disney. but its on par even better than some .MUST WATCH!

As a 23 year old, watching this movie was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. What interested me about this movie was that I've played Dragon Nest in the past and I was interested to see what the movie would be like. Don't worry if you've never played Dragon Nest before, you do not need to know the story of the game in order to follow along in this movie. Everything was explained well enough throughout the movie that you will follow along just fine. To start off, I should warn you that there are deaths in this movie, but the fighting and deaths scenes are very contained. What I mean by that is when a character is cut, they do not show any blood or the wound and they do not die in any gruesome type of way. The atmosphere, character, and the cartoon style sort of resembles How To Train Your Dragon in many ways. If I had to choose something memorable, I would have to say the music really stood out the most. They did a great job of creating the atmosphere and setting the mood for most scenes.There are a couple of things that I didn't like. It might be nitpicking since it's just a children's movie, but I feel like they could've done much better on some things. First of all, the whole story developed at a very fast pace, so fast that there was no room left for character development at all. Whatever character development did happen was only focused entirely around the main character. However, because of the fast pace, they were able to squeeze in a lot of enjoyable action scenes. Secondly, it was painfully obvious who the bad guys were. The stereotype of bad guys wear black clothing were very prominent in this movie.In conclusion, this movie has pretty much everything you want in a children's action movie. Swords, magic, princesses, warriors, fighting, and DRAGONS!!!!

The character animation in this movie is seriously unnatural. Sometimes you just cannot understand what the characters want to express with their clumsy gestures. But maybe the dubbing is no good either. They will have to do better than that to even come close to Pixar or Dreamworks. Also the rendering of shadows (parts where the light should not get to, like nostrils) is flawed. The picture feels flat. Technically this movie looks like something from around 2000. There are some nice backdrops and detail renderings but the characters seriously ruin it for me. The story line is somewhat too simple for my tastes. No big surprises in a simple plot. The good old battle between good and evil.

Soundtrack is great but it is quite awkward seeing as the story has deviated from the Dragon Nest's storyline. There are many points in the story where you notice that is very different from the actual in-game lore. The build-up of the story is quite rushed. The 6 heroes were introduced in a way that it assumed the audience would already know who they exactly are. Those who have never played the game or followed the main quest,would not know who these people are apart from the main protagonist fawning over them. The animation is great but there are points that are quite a bit out of place. Argenta's face in the movie is completely different from the tsundere we all know. Barnac for one is a blond swordsman but for this they decided to make him into a old geezer with money issues. This is an okay movie given that it's target market is initially gamers.
