SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Rectangular_businessman "Dragon Hunters" was an entertaining movie.Even if this is anything extraordinary or a life-changing experience, it is still a highly enjoyable adventure film with likable characters and a funny plot.The animation is pretty good, with impressive and imaginative sceneries, not to mention the stylish character design. There is some notorious influence from Pixar in what concerns to the main aesthetic principle used in the characters, but the overall result is pretty good. Even in the parts where the story seems to follow a predictable pattern, the visual originality of the scenes makes this interesting and worth watching.This is a good movie, being highly recommendable for the family viewing.
Rabh17 This one had been languishing on my netflix queue for the longest time for reasons that I never could quite pin down. It's not Pixar. It's not Disney. It's not anime.And the story seemed so simple. A lot of people seemed to comment on that. Just the same, I didn't erase it from the queue.So finally, I clicked on it.Just the opening Graphics alone held me spellbound. A world of floating islands, drifting ruins, flying forests, castles high in the sky with darkling clouds below. . .and a dragon. A hero and his friend, a spunky Princess and. . .a very strange dog.The story is straightforward-- a standard Slay-the-dragon quest with the usual lessons about Responsibility, Friendship and Bravery. We've all seen it done many times. But this one has a soulful elegance to it.The big shouldered Hero warrior has simple lines, but the expressions on his face speak volumes about honesty and gravitas especially when he remembers his childhood.His friend Gwizdo is the perfect fulcrum of adult humor, sarcasm and Guilty Conscience. His laugh inducing lines were never out of place.And the Princess is just adorable.I loved this as an adult. And its simplicity speaks with wordless directness to children.To call the storyline 'simple' is unfair: Call it 'Uncluttered'. And the visual vistas are simply astounding in their detail and majesty.Whether you have Children or Not--Just Watch it.
Vukan Vujovic When I first saw it I simply couldn't believe i haven't heard of it sooner. Forget the animation, music, sound (can't tell which is better), the story, the details, it is something i haven't seen since i last saw Bambi (Walt Disney 1942). It revived true chivalry, something that is long forgotten these days when fame and money is all that matters(yes, they did get the money but only to fulfill their modest dreams). I hope that Europe will not be the last stand of big production movies in which you don't hear the crowd clapping and cheering at the end. I recommend it to anyone that see further then the mankind is today. For me, this is a masterpiece and i thank everyone involved in creating this animation.
mb-mercuri What people fail to understand about this movie is that it isn't a beginning, middle, and end, it is just the conclusion of a 26 episode long TV series. So remember that when you all talk about how the world wasn't explored enough. That was all done in the TV show.As great and stunning as the visuals are, I think the ***SPOILERS*** argument between Lian-Chu and Gwizdo near the end of the film was what really made me love this movie. Seeing characters I had followed through 26 episodes fight like that was agonizing, and seeing Gwizdo walking sadly off by himself amidst the floating ruins while Lian-Chu sharpened his blade was almost tear-jerking. Then we got a total contrast with Lian-Chu fighting these insanely awesome dragons (Which had been featured before in the series) while Gwizdo is babbling insanely and indirectly threatening to kill Zoe. *Shudder* I'm surprised that this particular scene hasn't been mentioned more in the warnings. Any kid that has a lick of sense will be able to see that Gwizdo wasn't himself and was fully intent on strangling that little girl. It was enough to bother me, and I'm 15.The world is amazing, the plot is a lot better than most multi-million blockbusters, and it was a nice way to see some of my favorite characters go. Check it out. :)
