From my favorite movies..

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This cheaply drawn, badly scripted and poorly acted animated version of Dragons of Autumn Twilight should never be viewed by anyone who has read the books. It is utterly awful.The animation is so bad it reminds me of the cartoons I watched as a kid in the 1980's; with nowhere near enough cels being used so the movements of the characters are jerky and there are clearly very jumpy moments during many of the scenes.The voice actors did try, some of them way too much, to compensate for the badly penned script but in the end it's still just cringe-worthy for most of the animation. I cannot call it a movie as that would be to give it more praise than it deserves.As previous comments have stated, if you can't do a decent job - don't do it at all! If only Peter Jackson would take up the gauntlet and give us three glorious films everyone could be proud of. Then go on to make the Time of the Twins too. That should keep him busy for the next 20 years.In conclusion - don't watch it if you are, or are not, a fan of Dragonlance, because either way you will be left thinking 'what a steaming pile of dragon dung this is'.

Wow! I mean, wow! Spectacular, stunning, unbelievable, world-shaking, beyond all mortal comprehension! They must have really dug deep to produce this. I mean, to actually do all of that painstaking research on how not only to produce a pre-Disney animation of outstandingly shoddy quality in these days of digital genius but to completely and utterly destroy all respect that you once had for Kiefer Sutherland, the Dragonlance franchise itself and the entire movie business. These people must loathe these books with a passion normally reserved for epic romances to make such a laughable, surreal travesty of a film as this....how? How? How? How did it get sooooo bad? It is beneath me to document its failings....so I will leave this review here and let loose a deeply hollow, deeply bemused laugh but, seriously, this is offensive!

Rented this last night. So bad I had to find my IMDb login (unused for 5+ years) to write this.The animation is just terribly outdated. The 2D/3D mixes are painful beyond description. My boys and I watched gargoyles a while back, a TV series done in 1994, and it flowed better.WOTC, get help from the pros next time (Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney)! This shames a great book series. Can't even begin to understand why you would release this. How could anyone think this was a addition to the legacy. Fans, do yourself a favor, just skip it. Seriously, not even worth a rental. I regret seeing this, it ruins my memory of the books.

How they managed to line up that cast, and then utterly destroy the rest of the production, is beyond me.Animation 0.5/10. It gets the 0.5 because the pictures actually do change. Think the old He-Man show, but worse.Talent 4/10. Fantastic cast, but terribly directed. Flat and monotonous voices, far inferior to the talent levels present. An utter disappointment.Story 6/10. I only watched the first 10 minutes, I simply could not bear anymore. Those 10 minutes did, however, seem to be fairly loyal to the book, which, although excellent, was arguably the weakest of the trilogy, which itself was weaker than the second trilogy. For anyone put off by this cinematic abortion, please do yourselves a favor and read the books. You will not be disappointed.Direction 0/10. There are simply no redeeming qualities to speak of. The movie was horrendously kiddified. Even the books, which are arguably aimed at a teen-aged audience, had a degree of realism. This movie makes Sesame Street look like Pulp Fiction. Considering what the target should have been, given the book's demographic, this is unacceptable. Couple that with the terrible characterization, and I truly hope that the director, whose name I will not speak, finds a job more suited to his abilities, such as flipping burgers or cleaning toilets (he certainly has enough experience with effluent after this abomination).Production: 0/10. Terrible in all aspects. WoTC has made a serious blunder in allowing this film to be produced as it was. Worse still, their ability to procure such a fantastic cast will, after this, likely not reemerge. I cannot believe that Weiss and Hickmann signed off on this.This movie made me hate movies. The director should have a restraining order placed upon him, barring him from ever coming within 200 yards of a movie studio again. Utterly unacceptable.
