I'll tell you why so serious
Best movie of this year hands down!
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I give this movie a 2 out of 10 instead of just 1 because it is at least unintentionally interesting and entertaining because you will end up laughing at how stupid it is. The effects are laughable, very very bad, even by standards of like 2001 these effects are cheap and unreal looking. The acting is also terrible and I won't even mention the writing but then again what do you expect when you pick up a discount bargain bin movie called "dragon crusaders" at a grocery store for 2.99? This movie is very bad but if you are a fan of laughing at super horribly done and acted movies then you can do a lot worse than this one, you'll end up laughing at it a few times at least.
From the few films I've seen from the SyFy channel and The Asylum in the past few weeks I must admit DRAGON CRUSADERS was surprisingly entertaining in an odd way, don't get me wrong its not a gem that's for sure but out of all the others that included films like 2012 MOBY DICK and TITANIC 2, this film had a sense fun to it despite the fact the effects weren't ground breaking in any way, the costume designs weren't very accurate in terms of historical detail and the acting and the dialog needed a little work.The one character who steels the show is a sword wielding woman about 4 feet tall who kicks butt like nobody's business and looks good while she does it and the dragons actually look okay despite the film's obvious low budget.Honest opinion, the only thing that really sucks about films from The Asylum and SyFy is the fact that they get the film to a certain stage and by that I mean we all know the production value of their films and they all had the potential of being hugely entertaining but their main problem is not the cheap looking CG or the acting, its their scripts, if they would just put a little bit more effort into writing a better script for a film it would be so much better, they don't need that multi million dollar budget to make a film entertaining, they just need a good script and that's all.Overall, DRAGON CRUSADERS won't please a huge audience but if you're willing to give the film critic inside you the day off its very entertaining.
Why was this film even made? Did the people who made it watch it as a serious piece of work and think people were going to love it? It maybe fits into the 'so bad, its funny' category. The budget is so low it really doesn't give the film a chance. I would think from the point of view of someone that knows nothing about making films that the fantasy genre is the one genre you cant get away with a low budget?Another tip if your going to make a film set in medieval times don't shoot the film in ruined castles as they wouldn't have been ruined at that time! Also use old stuff in general.....the pirates boat they board looks like what it is a brand new holiday cruiser. The type of boat you might hire for a boating holiday not one you would expect cut throat pirates to be on. Did the pirates in between raping and pillaging do some nice sightseeing making sure they maintain the boat to a high standard?!? The cgi is poor. The gargoyles remind me of the ones off ghostbusters. In conclusion this film looks like a group of middle aged office staff on an outward bound course running about waving puny looking axes and swords at each other. The script is non descript play the movie on mute and make your own up it will be better. The acting is bad but its a bad film so maybe the actors didn't have much chance either! the only highlight for me was the tiny sword woman she was hot!
Unbelievable, this is a real bad movie! Well, not all of it. The actors have enough talent for a soap, but not for a movie. But the girl with the swords is okay, but only compare to the others of the cast. In a better movie she would fade away in the shadow of more talented actors. But the director of this movie has really zero talent. It's like there was no director at all while they where shooting this picture. And the ones in the editing room did really a lazy job. Like they just put together some scenes without looking at them. The cameraman made some nice shots once in a while. That was the only reason I kept watching, but nevertheless I was shocked that movies like this make it to DVD. I guess the ones who made this movie where not interested in making something good, but just making something because they had to. That's not a good motivation. Please, don't make any movies. Do something that you like but don't make a movie anymore. Can somebody tell the people behind this crap to look for another profesion.
