I found this film virtually unwatchable due to its cheesy effects. As far as I could tell, the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen, with no sets whatsoever. It's difficult to get into a movie when all you can think about is how the actors look as if they are about to start presenting the local weather report.

just don't bother a waste of 15 minutes of my life. that's how long I gave it. it was bad really bad. the film shouldn't get any play anywhere. james marsters shame on you. naff. poor. terrible. a joke. makes me nostalgic for poor films made by asylum.it makes me want to go throw up, I am having to write so much its taking me longer to write this review due to IMDb policy of 10 lines than I spent watching this piece of shat. not sure what else to say apart from again do not bother its not worth it at all. I have nothing else to say but still need to write as still not hit my 10 lines.still not long enough, I am beginning to think IMDb wants blood from a stone as there is nothing that can be added for such a poor useless, pointless, diabolical, waste of space film.

An evil wizard, Lord Tensley (James Marsters), seeks the hand and heart of the beautiful princess, Lady Ennogard. When she refuses, he locks her away and releases a deadly dragon, which he controls, to terrorize the land. He vows that, until she accepts his love, his dragon will destroy all who dare display any sign of love throughout the kingdom.As I understand it, this movie began with crowd funding, which was successful, and under the name "Dragon Warriors" went around to various festivals and received generally positive feedback. When picked up by Momentum, it received a name change. Exactly why is unclear, but maybe it was a legal thing because of the RPG of the same name. I am not a fan of the new name, because it makes the movie sound of lower quality than it actually is. But maybe others disagree.There are some cheesy special effects, but this actually may be appropriate for how silly the movie is. While at first I was doubtful, it surprised me with its charm and clever writing. In contrast to the effects, the costumes and makeup are really good. One of the main characters is an orc, and his makeup (or mask) is as good as any Hollywood film.What the film amounts to is a very strange parody. Someone else compared it to a mix between "Lord of the Rings" and "Princess Bride". I disagree, but they may not be far off. The nods to "Rings" are clear, and there are more than a few "Star Wars" jokes. But they are actually clever, rather than hackneyed like on "Big Bang Theory". You can tell the writer really gets it. When the damsel in distress says, "Help me if you want to hold me, you're my only hope," I was in love with the movie. It was at that point I knew they were really having fun and even ready to poke fun at themselves for having that fun.Interestingly, while everyone else is tongue-in-cheek, Marsters plays it straight in most scenes. This provides an excellent balance, and actually makes him an even more important character than just being "the bad guy". He is also the one who ends up grounding the humor. Compare him to Adam Johnson as Ramicus, who steals the show in every scene. I have not seen much of Johnson's work, but he has excellent deadpan comic timing and delivery.Whether or not this movie will appeal to everyone, I do not know. But I feel the nerds of the world will get a chuckle. Again, when compared to "Big Bang Theory", you can tell the people involved in this movie really get the culture and are not trying to make fun of the fans or reduce it to stereotypes. There is a true intelligence at work here that has to be admired.

Had a chance to see this movie at the official premiere in Salt Lake City last year. The movie was a fun little adventure and I really enjoyed it.The villain played by James Marsters was my favorite. It was great watching him play a heart broken wizard. He plays unrequited love so well.Adam Johnson and Maclain Nelson play brothers on a quest to remove a major obstacle that prevents Maclain's character from being able to be with his girlfriend. Adam plays the more practical brother of the two who ends up saving the day.Can't wait to get my DVD and watch it again.
