Dragon Hunter is one of those movies you either love or you hate. It really is rather on par with some of the SciFi...excuse me, SyFy channel monster movies. The "special" effects are almost as good as Power Rangers but not quite as good as the old Xena: Warrior Princess show.There are some holes in the timing, editing, and dialog that are amateurish and again, low budget. I suspect that the first take was the only one for most scenes.With all that going against it, how could I consider it "good"? For starters, the language was clean and the "shaky camera effect" added to what would likely be bland fight scenes, adding a frantic element without resulting to gore and blood. You could watch this with your grandmother or young (8 and older) kids without worrying or feeling embarrassed.I found the characters to be more than just cookie-cutter cut outs. We aren't given a lot of character development and none for minor characters but I enjoyed the two brothers and especially Erik Denton playing the older.So willingly suspend your disbelief, ignore the obvious faults, and just go with it.

This film is so bad I'm stuck where to start. The acting? The FX? The plot? The camera work? The costumes? Actually the costumes weren't too bad.Acting was variable, from fan film to school play. Junior school (that's age 7 to 11, translate to your local education equivalent for non UK people) school play that is. Wooden would be an up. The most rational explanation I can think of is that the cast were basically handed the scripts 5 minutes before each take and not given the chance to even talk to each other. I have seen worse acting from professionals, but only in classes where they are demonstrating how not to do it.FX were poor, both CGI and physical. The dragon, when you could see it, looked like a stop-motion shot with a mobile phone (my niece makes short films that way, the amusement of herself and friends, so I know the comparison is apt). Camera work was shaky, close to that of the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield, where at least that was deliberate and part of the story.The plot was largely absent, narrative causality and storyline were largely missing leaving us with a poorly connected network of events.To be fair, I didn't see to the end. After just shy of an hour neither I nor my sister could bear to watch any more so we switched off and put "Rachel Getting Married" on. If faced with this film I recommend you do the same.Stephen

An upper age limit of 15 should be given for this turkey which should only be screened on Sataday morning TV. Low budget and appalling casting and direction puts this in the same class as 'Krull' and .....um....I cant think of anything else as bad. Its as if a porn director has decided to make a fairy tale movie using his usual cast and camera men but without all the babes, he he. Big idea wasted by a second rate production team with insufficient financial backing. I have to find three more lines to conform to the minimum requirements for leaving a comment so, there is an Elf chick in the plot that is worth a second look but I would not part with any cash for the privilege of seeing her in this flick.

Its so bad, its hilarious. The whole plot is a joke. Firstly, I couldn't treat the actress who is in one of the most popular shows on Television (Two and a Half Men) as an Elven Archer. It was even more preposterous when she started wielding powers and that cheesy line where she claims she didn't think much of humans until she met the lead hero, who let's face it is a complete washout and a loser and a bit of a drama queen. I almost never rate movies as a 1, this would be my first that deserves to be in the bottom 10, let alone bottom 100. I was laughing throughout it was so terribly awful. Do yourselves a favour, don't watch this, save 1.5 hours of your life. The dragon in the beginning scene was okay, when they finally revealed it, it was AWFULLY like those plastic figures, and was literally catching arrows. What kind of dragon catches arrows and chucks them aside like its a shooting gallery? Was the entire cast high during the making and shooting of this movie? Did no one just spit on your faces for coming up with lousy plots? Seriously, nobody should have to watch a fake garbage movie like this. Then there's the faulty camera, even a 2 year old can hold a camera still during battle sequences and action scenes. There was virtually nothing but just cheesy one liners and fake plastic with gibberish in the background. I'm disgusted with this, and frankly that actress Kelly Stables DESERVES TO LOSE HER CAREER. FIRE HER FROM 2 AND A HALF MEN, SHE'S ANNOYING AND HIDEOUS and a lunatic for accepting this role. Anyways, off to watch a better movie, my 2 cents, save your money, don't rent this or watch it, you will feel cheated throughout.
