It is one of those films you keep watching to nit-pick and giggle at. <br /><br />The scenery was nice, and so were castle and abbey ruins, but they would have been fairly new buildings when the film took place. That bothered me a lot. I can suspend belief that the female warrior is running around in a Zena costume without being accused of indecency, but not with them hanging around a Gothic abbey ruin that would have been dismantled in the time of Cromwell (hundreds of years after the crusades) and then clearly weathered for several more centuries after that. <br /><br />The female warrior, Cecily Fay, had me giggling a lot with her sword fights. The choreography was so obvious that it was distracting. "Move left, twirl, lunge, flip sword, turn around, swing, pull back, dramatic pose" There was no fluidity to her sword play at all. A real swordsman would have cut her down during one of her numerous slow moving flourishes.<br /><br />The gargoyle and dragon CGI wasn't terrible, but it also had problems. Their size relative to people kept changing. The gargoyles ranged from about 7 feet to 15 feet tall. When the black dragon came out of the cave, it was the size of the entire hill it came out of, then it shrunk down to a quarter of that once it flew off. "How big is it?" "I don't know, how big do you want it to be?" "Eyeball it." "O.K." How do you kill a dragon that is either 40 feet or 200 feet long? With a hand-sized clay grenade filled with chunks of salt peter and a pool of water. LOL<br /><br />As fantasy films go, this is one to watch if there is nothing better on and you feel like heckling your TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615626244501166431.post-81617702962639058362012-01-20T21:15:46.636-05:002012-01-20T21:15:46.636-05:00If you are in the UK you're going to have a ch...If you are in the UK you're going to have a chance to see Dragon Crusaders as it premieres on Syfy this weekend, Sunday January 22 at 8 pm. <br /><br />http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/tv-guide/programme/epg/genre/entertainment-channels/dragon-crusaders/sunday-22nd-january/show/3148381/episode/26452725/ID/244660252/begin/156/page/1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615626244501166431.post-8814441489242503432012-01-10T12:19:57.901-05:002012-01-10T12:19:57.901-05:00Complete waist of my time!Complete waist of my time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615626244501166431.post-26511396973758699552011-10-24T00:50:38.927-04:002011-10-24T00:50:38.927-04:00I cannot believe I sat through 90 min of this.
