I enjoyed the few things I've seen Mark Singer in, unfortunately this was not one of them. He looks like he's trying to portray Popeye or something. His grizzled old warrior look just doesn't cut it.
The fight scenes in this movie are the worst I have ever seen. The main female character uses two sticks as her main weapon. Too bad no one ever trained her how to use them. Whenever she fights it looks sooooo bad I want to cry. She usually ends up having them taken away from her anyway, which makes sense considering how bad she is at using them.
The absolute best part that has anything to do with fighting is just before Mark Singer's character goes in to save the "kid", he pulls a few practice moves with his sword that look awesome. Most likely he remembered those moves from Beast Master because it's obvious whoever was choreographing the fights had no clue. It's also obvious the actors (and I use the term loosely) had little opportunity to practice.
There are a few scenes where the movie tries to be epic with large battles, but fails miserably because the computer effects were so bad. The company that made these effects should just stop now while they're ahead, and perhaps those people working there should gain employment in the wonderful world of fast foods because their computer skills suck.
The only effect even close to passable is the dragon itself. That's because in the few scenes it is in, they either take up the whole screen with it so you cannot compare it to the background, or it's flying around so fast again you cannot really compare it to anything else in the scene.
This company did not have the funds to pull off a movie like this, and would have been better off to make a movie that did not require sophisticated effects because ALL of the effects in this movie FAIL.
I should also mention how cliché' the story is, but you can read the other reviews for that.
I'm really sorry Mark. I've enjoyed you in other productions, but this one just smells too bad.
