Truly Dreadful Film

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Just ignore those negative posts, either those folks haven't even read the books or are hopeless in generally.I'm huge fan of series and enjoyed it a lot, luckily i don't put much weight on those negative "reviews".I liked small things what makers have added on movie and sure there was some corny stuff on it and some characters was just out of boxes but reason for that was probably that its only 90 mins long so just cant focus everyone.Give it a shot and you will enjoy it, hopefully we will see more of these since its huge universe! 7/10

To be clear, I have not read the Dragonlance series of books yet so my few is only on the movie.The movie starts out with using a old wizard to try and explain the story up till now but sadly, he doesn't explain enough and the story is lost for a person who had never read the books. And since the artwork is more like a child's show so much that there isn't much blood that you can see in most of the bloody fights, that I doubt anyone who would actually be watching this would of read the books in the first place. In my mind, this breaks the movie even before it barely started. We are introduced to the characters in this rather strange fashion of them saying each others names a bit and them talking a little of their travels including a very cryptic explanation about why Tanis Half-Elven (who I guess is the main leader of the group) left but its all left up in the air as they are interrupted by some smelly orcs and the sneezing of the Dwarf character who I can only guess is allergic to horses because of how he first figured out they were coming.May I just talk about how uneventful the ending was? It does not turn out how you think everything would turn out and yet I feel almost no satisfaction in how it ended. It's all I can say without telling you exactly how it ends.The CG effects are much to be desired. They try to make it look epic and yet cartoon-like but something just feels very off. Everything feels like it should have had more detail to the animation instead of the cartoony stuff. The artwork when they do go into the 2D animation looks very lack luster, as though they were trying to copy old shows for children. Sometimes they have just as much work in it as a flash animation and use looped pieces. There are times when characters are wearing something different then they should at that time. The backgrounds are stunning, don't get me wrong, but the characters lack that same love and affection. There is a very sad line between the CG, 2D animation, and background as though they were made by three different studios. They do not work well together. It should be at least one or the other.The voice acting in some areas are alright, giving a very epic feeling to the characters, but in other parts, there is something really off putting to it. Lip-sinking is one of the main problems with the voices but another thing is that the voices try to be more epic then the expressions that they show. They have it for the 3D pieces but it doesn't look like they have it for the 2D visuals. It's surprising because there are some really good actors like Joson Marsdan who did Max Goof from A Goofy Movie and and Haku from Spirited Away. The sad thing is, he gives the character he plays in here, Tasslehoof Burrfoot, such a high squeaky voice with a hint of rasp that he just becomes annoying. The music is actually alright for what it is, catches the 'mood' of the scene though the mood is lost with the artwork.The show was slightly entertaining but that's pretty much all it was. All its problems tog in the way of me enjoying it and it did not feel like it was made in the 21st century. It felt like something done in the 1980's or so.

First off I would like to say that I absolutely love Tracy Hickman and Margret Weis and all of their books. The Dragonlance series were wonderfully written. The animation movie on the other hand was not so wonderfully done. There are three major problems for me about this movie.1.) The animation was horrible! They tried to add CG mixed with the animation but it failed. The CG looked like something that came from the '80s. It was rough...so rough. The animation itself was bad. As an animator myself I noticed extremely bad animation movement. It almost looked liked like some homemade Flash animation from a kid All I can say is rough.2.) The voice acting sounded like something from a B-rated movie. The voice acting sounded over done. Because the voices were so bad it just made the movie so annoying for me. I have to say though Keifer Sutherland is a great actor, so he did an OK job.3.) Last of all the movie was to dumbed down in atmosphere. What I mean is is that the books have a dark adventure feeling to it. The movie is filled with up beat music and happiness. I don't know it just felt so wrong to me.I hope someone makes another movie. I also hope it is live action and that someone makes it like what Peter Jackson did to The Lord of the Rings.

i remember also watching an early animated version of Tolkien's The Hobbit. The animation was terrible. This has the same feeling to it. Correct me if I am wrong but maybe the animation part was done in the Philippines or India?Like a previous rating, the movie shattered my imagination of Krynn. I imagined Krynn to be a darker Tolkien universe. The movie made it seem like a Disney's version of it.The voice do not match the lip movements, the action (if any) was very stolid, the animation has no emotion of any kind, the humor is non- existent.I was just glad that they did not make the part 2 of the series!
