Dragon Dynasty

I was not expecting much from Dragon Dynasty, expecting a fantasy/ adventure film on the same terrible level as something like Age of the Dragons. It was a little better than expected, some of the scenery is decent as are the dragons, and the underwater shot is also quite nice. However, everything else is really bad. The dull lighting and hackneyed editing meant that I didn't get a sense of wonder I want to feel for a movie of this genre. The music is generic and unimaginative, the dialogue is so clichéd and anachronistic that I couldn't help laughing aloud on several occasions and the story is very contrived with some dull spots in the middle. The characters I didn't feel or care anything for, and the acting is wooden, and even decent actors like James Hong are given little to do. All in all, really bad. 2/10 Bethany Cox
