«...The story is a bit tired, sounding almost like the beginning of a bad
joke: a human cleric, an orc, and a possessed elf walk into a bar, I mean, begin
a quest to stop a dragon! They are three mortal enemies that must put aside
their preconceived biases and band together to fight a greater foe! When
something vaguely resembling a dragon finally does show up at the climax of the
movie, its appearance is saddled with the very same problem that has plagued low
budget filmmakers for decades, that being the curse of cheap CGI. The main
antagonist of the film might as well have been played by one of those inflatable
wiggling balloon guys that flap about in the wind at openings of used car
emporiums. The fierce dragon king whose arrival has been feared throughout the
course of the entire film is then subsequently dispatched with great ease. I've
had bowel movements that have given me more difficulty. Now, Curse of the
Dragon Slayer is not all bad. In fact, there are many aspects of the
production that I found to be most impressive. First, the movie looks way better
than it ought to. Whoever did the location scouting should be commended as
there's some truly breathtaking scenery that our LARPers get to frolic in.
Secondly, the make-up effects are much better than expected. I joke about
Curse of the Dragon Slayer being a poor man's
The Lord
of the Rings ripoff, but it's not because of the fantastic
orc make-up. Many of these cats could have easily stepped out of this C-list
movie and marched directly onto the set of
The
Two Towers without missing a beat. Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery, right? ...».
