Supreme Cmdr Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Wait'll you see this new trailer in 720 or 1080!! I can't wait for the movie to open next month.
Scrivener Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Meh. The book was horrendous. I have better material (and better writing) stashed away in folders from 6th grade. Even if the film is well made, it will suffer from the laughable premise, amateur plot, and ridiculous dialogue. It'll have a huge opening, no doubt, as the Harry Potter crowd jumps in sight unseen. But ultimately I'm predicting a disaster of Uwe Boll proportions.
Scrivener Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 It seems I was right. The critics are crapping all over this one. 33% on RottenTomatoes and dropping. The AICN reviews are particularly entertaining (the movie made an 11 year old fan of the books cry with bitter dissapointment). So yeah, the movie is apparently Uwe Boll bad.
Guest Grayfox Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 and to think that theres now a licensed game out to go with it! rapture!!!
Wolferz Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 I knew it was bad as soon as I saw the umpteenth commercial for it on TV. It seems that they threw alot of cash into the television advertising blitz. Which can only mean one thing... It sucks major rocks. Maybe the filmmakers would have been better served by Dragon this one out to the dumpster,

Charles Lindsey Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 It wasn't so bad. I don't get the Star Wars reference. Really, I don't. I mean; how many other mentor/prot├®g├® stories have there been? Star Wars doesn't hold the patent on that. The effects were good. The plot seemed compressed from an Amazon doesn't say how many pages the book is to too short a movie. Perhaps a bit more narration here and there and a couple more scenes and it would have been really good. It isn't nearly so bad as Alone in the Dark. It is more like the also compressed Harry Potter movies though it does fall just a tad shy. I did see either on TV or on MSN.com a clip from his Today show appearance. I believe he started writing it at 15 and was home schooled. I like that he borrowed from Anne McCaffrey's dragons (four legs plus wings) but added his own touches. All in all it is a good popcorn movie. 7/10.
