Dragon Hunter the movie - what can I say? I had high expectations after seeing the trailer but after watching the move I am more than disappointed.

The story line and acting could have been better and if this movie is supposed to be about dragons, why didn't I see a single dragon throughout the movie until the last 10 minutes of what seemed a very long and pointless movie.

The actual dragon animation was very amateurish and I've seen better animations made in flash to be honest. The camera filming was just so bad that i was going to give up watching this movie half way through.

There was one potentially good fighting scene which was ruined by bad camera work.

So what's Dragon Hunter all about I hear you ask?

Dragon Hunter is a story about 2 brothers who are purging orcs from their land.  The brothers set out on a journey to the castle of Ocard and on their way there they join forces with a rogue warriors who swear their allegiance in this hazardous quest.

I agree, though i had not seen the trailer, after reading the synopsis i thought it would have been a very good movie.

the camera work almost made me motion sick.

I was very disappointed at the poor story line.

it was basically a cross between the lord of the rings and eragon (but with a dragon hunter instead of a dragon rider).

I was very sadly disappointed.

a for effort though

Sadly I watched a small portion of this movie. I couldn't even get half way through it without wanting to spoon my own eyeballs out and strangle myself using my own optical cords.

The camera work made me want to vomit. There really was no rhyme or reason as to why the camera was shaking that bad. Though I could've sworn there was a pattern the camera guy was using. It reminded me of my old nintendo playing days.. up down left left up right.

The acting, or lack there of, was terrible. All the guys sounded exactly the same and resembled how William Shatner speaks. If the movie's saving grace was the female archer, they failed miserably. No scout is ever that clean. As for her cloths, why did it remind me of Xena princess warrior? And don't get me started on the modern day bow she was using.

Come people, if you're going to make a movie, crappy or not, at least make an effort to make it accurate to the times. My personal opinion, never ever watch this movie. Unless you want to Mystery Science Theatre 3000 it.
