Redundant and unnecessary.

Awesome Movie

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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!!

I didn't expect a lot of this film, the special effects are awful, some things are a bit rushed but that is the only bad thing i can say about it. For not being a famous film making crew i would say that they did a really awesome job!The story is great, it hasn't thrown me out of it, i enjoyed watching without being bored.The actors are good, i was expecting horror-movie-acting so they surprised me a lot. The one famous actor (the one from the Hercules series) Was even the worst actor in my opinion.The dialogs are fun, i like the "feel" of this movie.It felt like one of those good old movie, Indiana Jones but not quite, because i liked this better, i like old movies so if bad special effects don't throw you off then go watch it, it's actually good!

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.

Some vague spoilers following the work of the crew...This movie picks up the story where it ended in Quest for Heroes.Again, Mrs Anne Black and her crew of actors and technicians do a good movie with little resources. I wonder how they do it. :)Actors do good things to improve the movie, more than in the first I think. Although, I miss the dwarf. ;)Good sound quality, the music is well composed and well placed, the cgi is better than in the first. I'm happy that our big warrior didn't fell on his behind in this movie. I can't believe how many times he was on the ground in the first movie. haha!Combat on the other hand is poor, especially in the big fight near the end of the movie where the orcs are just standing there and doing nothing, just waiting for... well, nothing. When surrounded the heroes should be fighting for their lives and being hit from every side, that would have been more epic. Maybe you guys should keep an eye on the combat scenes. Hitting someone with a foam or plastic sword or mace shouldn't hurt any of the actors. hehe! I know you work hard, but make sure you take each combat scene a couple of times to make it look the best and especially the most believable.I know you are more interested in telling a story, but a movie needs to have good visuals too, not need to be Hollywood or Disney quality, just well made one with the budget you have. Have the enemies of the hero hit them next time, even if the blows glances off armour or shields, it makes the fight more believable and intense.Kudos again for a good movie considering you had a limited budget. :D
