Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

sfinancing ...in a good way. Not even sure that's a thing anymore, but those of you of an age, and geekish as myself, will know what I'm talking about.The story moves along well and is surprisingly well written. Acting is well done by the relatively unknown cast. If you are a fan of Sorbo, besides being in the promo photos, his role is minimal(as in maybe 3 min screen time). Plot, well I'm not giving anything away telling you this is a fantasy quest movie, heck its in the title. Direction is well done.CGI is...ah...well...there is some CGI. Considering the extremely low crowd-funded budget it wasn't terrible. Costumes and creatures weren't bad.Overall, not a bad way to spend a couple hours and worth a binge watch of the whole series if you have Amazon Prime.

Un aficionado Let's say you are bored to death and there isn't anything good on theaters, Netflix, Amazon, HBO, etc. Then, you watch this movie to kill your time.It's not a terrible movie, not a good one either. The low budget shows and the regular acting too. I give it 6 stars for the effort, but I won't see any of the sequels.

Stuart Fisher I have seen (and reviewed) Mythica: The Iron Crown and Mythica: The Godslayer, so I know what the cast looks like. The first thing that struck me about Mythica: A Quest for Heroes was the cover on the box. I understand why publishers use "photoshop", but I don't really approve. Getting past that, I enjoyed this Mythica almost as much as the other two. It isn't flawless but it is good. The special effects are great and the story moves along at a decent enough pace.The most annoying part were the scenes involving Marek's limp. They kept bringing it up again and again. It would have made sense if it was going to be part of her development as a wizard: I was expecting her to eventually figure out that she could heal it herself, with black magic, but that never happens. Instead, she does a lot of walking and that seems to make her leg better, which makes no sense. Looking forward to part 2.

Rob_Taylor I'm never too sure of what I'm going to get when I watch a low-budget, indie effort. Mostly they just seem to be terrible rip-offs of more heavily-funded, mainstream movies, but with poor scripts, dialogue and effects. Asylum....I'm looking at you.So it was with some surprise that I started watching this and realised it wasn't half-bad.Now, I admit, sometimes the acting is a bit ropey, and the effects are, at times, clearly sub-par. However, this movie, and the ones that followed it, have one thing which is absolutely essential for such low budget films to gain any traction. A decent script.Again, I'll admit, the script is hardly original, but where it shines is in the character interactions. The characters themselves are stereotypical D&D class cut-outs, but there is enough background and charm added to them by the script and actors that they work quite nicely in the context of the story.That story - about a search for a Lich's heart in order to stop it falling into the hands of an evil necromancer - will be something that will feel immediately familiar to anyone that has played D&D, or indeed any fantasy RPG in the last thirty years. In fact, the whole series seems like an affectionate homage to the genre and it works quite nicely at that level.The acting is variable, but serviceable, though in some of the later movies, a few of the lesser villains do go into full ham mode (I'm looking at you - airship captain!) The overall tone though, is far better than the budget would suggest.The effects are serviceable and, whilst poor by modern CGI standards, are sufficient to get the job done. We tend to forget, in our current era where anything can be realistically rendered on-screen, that we watched movies with far less convincing effects back in the 60's and 70's and never batted an eyelid at the jerky stop-motion, or terrible rotoscoping. Such things were part of the charm of the movie back then and this is how the effects in enthusiastic, low-budget movies should be viewed today - as part of the movie's character.Practical and make-up effects are also quite good in this movie and the costumes are not as "Hercules" as you might think, especially given the presence of Kevin Sorbo.One stand out is the music. The films have been given a really good soundtrack and a couple of nice songs, one of which "Tell Me" which plays out over the end credits to Darkspore, is absolutely superb. It is definitely the series' strongest point.Where the movies greatest asset lies, is in the fact that it never takes itself too seriously. I see some comments that compare it to the Lord of the Rings, which is just risible. There is plenty of humour in the story and the character dynamics that make it thoroughly entertaining to watch. Backgrounds are fleshed out enough to make the characters believable and events in one movie carry over to the next, if applicable.In short, the sum of its good parts outweighs the negatives by a good margin. It has a slightly quirky style that won't appeal to everyone and which put me in mind of certain TV shows like Lexx, or Farscape.Finally, the best praise I can muster for the films is this: I'd happily watch more, if they produced them, or better yet, a web series of some sort, which I think the D&Dish nature of the movies would support quite nicely.SUMMARY: A decent script, not taking itself too seriously and plenty of humour all elevate this set of films above the usual low-budget dreck that often gets made. If you like D&D, this is for you.
