That was an excellent one.

Just perfect...

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

i am halfway watching it now and i cant help myself. first point is that i notice it has multiple names in multiple countries (may i ask why this is ? ) the story is as well structured as a bridge made of soft licorice built by a blind and amputated weasel , the action scenes are lacking GREATLY and special effects are a meh , i cant help but notice also that most of the masks of the orcs are LITERALLY COPIED STRAIGHT FROM PETER JACKSON'S LORD OF THE RINGS (but more on that later ) the characters are also as thin as a sheet of A5 paper and have no motivation to the plot and are devoid of all personality , it took me half an hour to realise the "elf" girl was the same person at the start of the film who sucked the naughty smoke out of the dragon rider bloke , also where are the dwarfs ? why is there only a dragon in the background at the start ? why is the CGI hideous ? , something i will commend it on is its lack of special effects , but to be honest that was the only positive i can think of . The masks i do believe were bought from the company who produce the costumes for the lord of the rings , but i also probably think that they bought the mould and used cheap latex . so in conclusion 2/10 is my rating and i hope to never watch this again

Less of a budget than LOTR, and less of a story as well, is why this movie is only worth 5 stars. Yet, I still enjoyed this one. Although the story is slightly lacking, its not bad, and it's different enough to not feel like you're watching the same genre film rehashed. The action sequences aren't bad either. Some of these movies have bad acting to blame as their downfall, but I felt the acting was somewhat fair compared to other movies with this budget. Not too much else to say about this one without spoiling the story, except that fans of this genre will enjoy this film. I sure did. P.S. The main character is beautiful, and can hold her own in a fight! 5 Stars

It was good and keeps very true to fantasy orcs look more like orcs than in LOTR, the ghome is also well made. The orc and elf maiden do well, the paladin seems a bit off but it all works out for me somehow. It proves it possible to make a movie with small budget and perhaps experience, it can lead to bigger things. Just remember Braindead haha. Good strong start with the fight scene, Nemyt kicks some goblin ass.Danielle Chuchran stands out for me in this movie, perhaps minus the spitting haha very much like an elf maiden warrioress should be, small quick and deadly. To me a good depictionThe movie is obviously not up to pro standards and you prolly have to be able to see that as a charming aspect rather than a obstacle to enjoy it fully.

Having watched pretty much every fantasy film ever made, Curse of the Shadow is surprisingly good. Although fairly low-budget, with no major actors to speak of, it makes up for this with extremely good photography, outstanding make-up effects and exciting action scenes. The effects are also quite good. Vivid CGI depicts dragons, wyverns and other fantastic beasts.Dialogue is a stilted at times and the simplistic story becomes overly complicated. The story could have used more fleshing out and less annoying dialogue scenes that just stand to pad out of the story. Danielle Chuchran is surely and one-note as the elven bounty hunter, while most of the film's genuine moments come from Richard McWilliams as the cleric warrior. American actors seem to be unable to take this type of fantasy seriously and end up looking like they are in a bad LARP adventure.All in all, this movie was reasonably entertaining. Well crafted and done with obvious affection for the genre. Check it out if you have a chance.
