2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

TheLittleSongbird I have seen far worse and more time-wasting movies than Dragon Storm. It could have been much better but also much worse. I did think the dragons on the whole were well done, with good movement and design, and their battle was the highlight of the film. The costume and set design are also decent, not stunning as such but at least there is a fantasy-adventure element. John-Rhys Davies is a very enjoyable presence, hammy yet dignified. Dragon Storm definitely could have had some improvements though. The editing is rather choppy, luckily the rest of the production values weren't so bad(compared to other low-budget films I've seen recently) but if they were alongside with the editing the film would have been very cheap to look at. Sadly the camera work isn't much better either, with a lot of dizzying quick shots and edits that if you are not used to can make you a bit seasick. The story does have some exciting moments, mainly with the dragons, but a lot of it is rather dull with lots of things happening for no reason. Although the sets are not too bad the film is very sparsely populated, making it hard to believe that we are talking about two feuding kingdoms and excepting the dragons the rest of the effects are cheaply rendered, stunt actors doing the whole fire gag gets old fast. The dialogue is horrendously stilted, and apart from Davies the acting is wooden. Overall, not a movie I'd recommend but I have seen worse. I am just wondering whether SyFy are ever going to make an at least worthwhile dragon movie(even the best one is heavily flawed), but if they have in all honesty I haven't seen it. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Boba_Fett1138 This is one of the most badly written movies I've seen in a long time.The movie is quit ridicules. The movie is about dragons from outer space(!) who are attacking a kingdom during the dark ages. A team gets assembled to defeat the 5 remaining dragons. But like that's not enough already, the movie is also about a conspiracy by the bad king to overthrow to the good king, though both kings seemed like bad ones to me to be honest.The movie is quite laughable. It tries to be spectacular, funny and even epic. It tries so hard that it becomes ultimately laughable, because the movie itself is far from spectacular, funny and especially epic. The production values of the movie are far too low, though the movie certainly does not feature the wost special effects I've ever seen, especially considering that this is a made-for-TV-movie. That perhaps was the only thing that surprised me positively about the movie.Otherwise the movie isn't too good looking. The sets are obvious ruins and the mass scenes are a disgrace. Launching a full scale attack on a kingdom with about 15, under equipped, men is a very laughable thing to watch, especially because throughout the movie the attack is presented as a great and serious threat to the kingdom.The movie is filled with many unlikely characters. The main 'hero' is horrible looking, with an obvious fake wig. The rest of the dragon-slayer team consist out of the formulaic characters you would expect. None of them is really interesting or gets developed well enough in the movie. How did John Rhys-Davies ever got mixed up in this mess? Perhaps he wanted a small Lord of the Rings rehash?The action is presented as if its the most spectacular things ever brought to the screen. The first explosion of the movie really made me crackup. A small wooden shed exploded in extreme slow-motion with a stunt person flying in slow motion away from the explosion. So incredibly over-the-top, I mean a it's a small woodshed! But yet the movie tries to make it look like a large, wooden, gunpowder filled ship is blowing up. The movie features far too many unneeded slow motion action sequences. I hate it when a movie uses bluntly slow motion as a tool to make the simple action look more spectacular, especially when it really isn't.The movie is not just poorly written, it's also very poorly put together. The movie features some plain bad editing and musical score. I've you have a musical score like this one, you're probably better of not having a musical score at all! The movie further more also features some awkward humor. The kind that just isn't funny in a movie, though it all probably looked good and hilarious on paper. The movie also has some of the worst and most annoying sound effects I've heard in a long time. Lowest point of the movie its sound effects; the constant fake put over giggling of a couple of youngster who enter a dragon cave. Incredibly annoying and fake.But no, it's not among the worst movies I've ever seen. The movie sill offers some good clean fun entertainment, even though the execution of it all is far from brilliant. The movie is very predictable and it tries very hard to be better than it really is. It makes the movie unintentionally laughable at times.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Paul Andrews Dragon Storm starts in outer space as various meteorites hurtle towards Earth, cut to 'Carpathia 1190 A.D.' as these meteorites land they hatch & large fire-breathing Dragons emerge. A messenger (Vlado Nikolov) informs King Fastrad (John Rhys-Davies) whose Castle is attacked by the Dragons & his people slaughtered, King Fastrad escapes with Theldag (Tony Amendola) his bodyguard who hire a huntsman named Silas (Maxwell Caulfield) to take them to the Castle of King Wednesbury (John Hansson) for protection. Once there Fastrad tells Wednesbury about the Dragon threat that threatens to wipe out his kingdom. King Wednesbury orders his mage Remmegar (Richard Wharton) & Silas to set up a team of Dragonslayers to seek out & destroy the alien Dragons...Directed by Stephen Furst there is little in Dragon Storm to recommend. The script by Patrick Phillips & Sam Wells is basic, sloppily paced & plotted & commits the unforgivable crime of all but neglecting the Dragons in favour of annoying comedy relief character's & an uninteresting sub-plot about overthrowing King Wednesbury. It's rather predictable & is less than exciting to watch. I would have liked to have seen the Dragons eat some people, one Dragon bites someone's head off at the end but that's it, they just use they're fire breath to wreck havoc which becomes boring very quickly. Also what's with the bizarre notion that Dragons come from outer space?!Director Furst ruins anything the film might have had going for it, the action scenes are so lacklustre & unexciting it's hard to believe anyone could have made such a mess of it. The character's just stand there looking very uncomfortable, almost as if their not sure as what their meant to be doing. The fights & Dragon battles are tedious in the extreme & these Dragons sure do die easily & don't even seem to put up much of a fight.Dragon Strom was made-for-TV, it was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria & had a budget of about $1,000,000. The whole thing has a cheap look about it although most of the CGI Dragon effects are actually pretty impressive which is a bit of a surprise, it's just a shame they aren't used to any great effect & the rest of the film is poor. The locations are obviously derelict run down tourist attractions. The acting is average at best.Dragon Storm isn't very good, it's cheap & doesn't provide much in the way of entertainment. Both Dragonheart (1996) & Reign of Fire (2002), big Budget Hollywood Dragon themed films, are far superior to Dragon Storm in every way. Worth a watch if you can catch it on TV for free & nothing else is on but it's not worth going out of your way or spending good money to secure a copy.

mattkosorok I'm a fan of the famed Dwarf of Lord of the Rings ( I still remember his work in the Wing Commander video game ). My apologies to you, sir, but your character was terrible in this movie.The only guy that did any good was Ling, and that's stretching it. An interesting plot premise, but very VERY bad execution. From Stargate to Dragon Storm, that wasn't a good move.The hunter/hero guy reminds me for some reason of someone on Babylon 5. I'm going to have nightmares over this one, that's for sure.For a hoot, it's worth it if you got the MVP pass to Hollywood Video, but I sure wouldn't pay for this one.
