Great Film overall

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Absolutely the worst movie.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I loved the story of the film. They did a great job in turning a roleplaying game into a film and I think the acting was fantastic. I do not think it deserves the low score it had received. The cameras looked cheap however the film plot was brilliant and interesting. This is a must see film for any roleplaying fans (like myself) out there. It was one of the few films where I have been distracted. Loved every second of it and wished there was more of the fantastic story.The plot was solid and everything seemed to be explained brilliantly. This film is hard to flaw. The story can see to drag and it is not recommended for those who want an action film as you will not get this.

I thought this looked good initially. The setting is a mythical world, not unlike the Tolkien Lord of the Rings trilogy, complete with Orcs. Boy, was I mistaken! After wasting about an hour and a half on this mess, I must relegate it to that select group of bombs which leaves the viewer saying to himself "I just lost 90 minutes of my life which I can never regain." While the sets and costumes are OK, the plot and the acting are as aimless and gruesome as a zombie. I just wish the script writer had shared with the audience what the underlying story was, so we could get a better idea of the origin, purpose, and destination of this tale. At the end of the movie, the viewer has a disappointing realization that the whole film is some sort of prequel, but it sure would have been nice to know this up front. Please, avoid this turkey!

This movie was apparently supposed to be a television series based on a pretty good fantasy role playing game that I am vaguely familiar with. Considering that White Wolf had their short lived, but popular Vampire series, I suppose this wasn't a vain hope.Midnight Chronicles does violate one huge tenant of all good fantasy literature: make one of the characters unfamiliar with the world, so it can be explained to the audience slowly and clearly. If Midnight Chronicles had a Richard Cypher from the non-magical country next door, or a hobbit from the shire, or a Harry Potter who grew up with Muggles or a Gen who comes from a small village on a remote island, or a Paul Atreides who must attend his lessons, or a Buck Rogers from the 20th century, etc. If there was one character who was as lost as me going into it, then it would be fixed.It only got a 6 because it is a B grade fantasy adventure movie in the grand tradition of Hawk The Hunter, but Midnight Chronicles is better than most of the stuff that get's on TV. Sets and costumes and makeup were decent. Acting was kind of goth and pretentious for film, but better than a lot of TV shows. Even the orc masks were pretty good. Other than violating the "one character must be ignorant" rule, I can see no reason this wasn't picked up for a series. So I wish the best to everyone still pulling for this project.

I wasn't sure about this movie when I initially rented it. I hadn't heard any reviews, but I am a big fan of Fantasy movies in general so I thought I would check it out. This movie surprised me. Although I figured it for a low-budget film, since I hadn't heard of it, it didn't have the problems of many other low-budget films. Some other low-budget films fail to capture your attention, either from bad acting or bad sets. This movie had none of those, as it had very good acting (although I didn't recognize any of them) and the story was compelling to me. One other thing low-budget films usually suffer from is convincing the viewer that there is an entire world that exists, rather than a few dozen people running around trying to make the pretense of a larger world. This film succeeded in burying me in the illusion of the world they created and the story that they were telling.I really hope that they make a sequel, so I can see the rest of the story. It would be a shame if they stop making movies like this, just because a few people don't get what they are trying to make.
