This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The visuals are not superior but they certainly are pretty darn good, and much better than the first film. Some visuals were indeed really awesome. Once again, the film has a fantastic score and great locations. It is just a really great action adventure fantasy. I've been longing for a fantasy adventure like this for a while now, and this is it! Adam Johnson is a very likable actor (sort of a gentle giant if you will) and his role in this film becomes a bit more serious than the first one, as we also see a different side of him. Melanie Stone also has a much more demanding role here but she pulls it off with ease! Wonderfully entertaining!!

RELEASED IN 2015 and directed by Anne K. Black, "Mythica: The Darkspore" is the second film in the five-film fantasy/adventure series about a limping servant girl with blossoming magical powers named Merek (Melanie Stone), who teams-up with a heroic warrior, Thane (Adam Johnson), a miscreant lothario, Dagen (Jake Stormoen), a priestess, Teela (Nicola Posener), and a hunky elf, Qole (Rocky Myers), for a journey to obtain all the shards of the Darkspore to keep it from the diabolical Szorlok (Matthew Mercer). Kevin Sorbo has a cameo.The story takes place in an adventurous Medieval-like world where sorcery, elves, orcs, dragons and other fantasy creatures are real. If you like The Lord of the Rings, D&D, Warcraft, Conan or Sinbad you'll probably like the Mythica franchise. These movies were partly funded by a Kickstarter campaign with all the movies costing less than $100,000, except the fifth and final one. The first movie, "A Quest for Heroes," cost $94,294 while this sequel cost $81,099. The production quality is incredible for such meager budgets, particularly if you're familiar with micro-budget productions. The Mythica films are basically just as good production-wise as "Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God" (2005), a TV movie that cost a whopping $15 million (for a TV flick, that is)."The Darkspore" is disappointing in comparison to the dynamic first film, in particular the first half where the transition from "A Quest for Heroes" is clumsy and unexciting. Thankfully, things perk up in the second half and make up for the weak first act, especially a fight with a dragon in the desert. In any case, be sure to see "A Quest for Heroes" before viewing this one. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 47 minutes. WRITERS: Anne K. Black, Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin. GRADE: B-

Marek and her company must go on a journey and prevent Szorlok from obtaining all the shards of the Darkspore, or all will be lost. Really??? They already lost the stone!!There's a lot of flaws here. Very poor visual effects, poor scenario and poor acting.Marek got strong powers but she still a slave tho, and needs help to be freed!!! The timeline is so slow.Marek and here friends had the portal opened but they didn't go into it until the evil wizard arrived to fight them.They saw his army and they got enough time to escape through the portal, but the stood still like idiots and got caught!!! I'm sure that the high ratings are very fake. I rated 1 for this movie because there's no less than 1 to give.

The party continues on their quest, this time helped by a dark elf with mysterious markings, while a warlock is trying to beat them to their goal. Unfortunately, it seemed like the makers made a lot less effort for this film, especially in the areas of character interaction and storyline. That's unfortunate, especially since I loved A Quest for Heroes.Some commentators focused on the quality of the special effects. I don't care about those, but this is an indicator that those people didn't feel the characters were important or the story inspiring, and that is on the script writer. If the story is great and the characterization well done, no one looks twice on the special effects. I think that, while I still enjoyed the film, more effort should be made to make the viewers feel with the characters in a story that one could believe in.Bottom line: fun film, really inconsistent characters, jumping from love to hate on a whim, and a disappointing and rushed ending that made little sense. I hope the next part will be more engaging.
