It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I watched this on television this morning. I hadn't really intended to, but when I saw that John Rhys-Davies was in it, I decided to give it a chance. I, too, at first wondered what he was doing in this movie. The dragons were immediately impressive, but the stunts during their first rampage in the opening scenes looked like they could have been pulled off by average high-school drama students. Guys getting their backs lit on fire, screaming, flapping their arms, and falling down. (This, by the way pretty much sums up the stunts in the rest of the movie, as well, and none of the people seem to have the sense to even roll in the snow once aflame.)To anyone with at least a little of a discerning eye, these opening scenes are a bit of a red flag. Bad stunts usually make for bad movies. But, as I hadn't yet seen John Rhys-Davies, I kept watching. And I'm glad I did. All-in-all, it was an enjoyable film.I think budget must have had a lot to do with the way this movie turned out. The dragons must have been expensive, and unless John Rhys-Davies was doing it as a favor to someone, I'm sure he wasn't cheap either. So, it seems, they had to skimp somewhere, and they apparently chose to do so with the stunts. Yes, the acting is cheesy at times, but appropriately so, for such a tale. And, regarding John Rhys-Davies, he certainly brings a certain presence and dignity to all of his parts, but if you really take a look at his body of work, he hasn't exactly done Shakespeare all his life, either. I think, just as with Sean Connery, he improves any movie he graces with his presence, even the stinkers.Ultimately, I think they did quite well with the resources available. And when you think about it, would the movie have been better with great stunts, but with lousy dragons?So, if you like this sort of thing, it is well worth a watch. Just keep your sense of humor about you, and don't allow yourself to be put off by the opening scenes.

It seems as though we're all pretty well agreed that this film was a real dud.Listless,a poor script,and boring.Someone asked as to how a fine actor like John Rhys--Davies got mixed up with this.Well,how did Basil Rathbone get into "The Magic Sword?"How did Ben Kingsley end up in "BloodRayne?"(His foray in "Oliver Twist"is a real mess,too.)How did Sidney Poitier get into "The Long Ships?"We all have some messes in our careers,and this was one for him.Either he owed somebody a favor;he had some obligations for a particular director and/or producer;he needed the cash-we all have that happening once in a while-;or he had a blank spot in his calendar,and wanted to keep his hand in.As the man said"You can't win them all."

this movie was , without a doubt, the worst movie i have ever seen. you know that point that the movie is so bad that you have to finish it just so you know how it ends so it doesn't bug you and you are forced to rent it again? well this movie is beyond that point. me and my friend rented it and it was so bad that we stopped it about a half hour from the end. we now keep a list of the worst movies ever and this is easily on top with no contender. i saw the movie a couple of years ago so i don't remember what made it so bad but i do remember that the acting was just plain horrible. the only way for you to comprehend how bad this movie is, is to see it but so help me god please DO NOT RENT OR SEE THIS MOVIE i cannot stress that enough.

Hi, I was watching "The Day After Tomorrow" in a video room, and I hated it so much that I demanded a new movie. I picked this one. It was fine. An enjoyable little romp through eastern Europe (Russia? Where was this filmed?) with Angel Boris getting almost naked. Who knew they had such sexy lingerie in 1190 AD? If you come across this film in a video store it's worth a look. Some of the performances are quite good, like John Rhys-Davies as one of the kings, and the aforementioned Angel Boris as a tomboy Princess. "Better to have a daughter who acts like a son than a son who acts like a daughter." Congratulations to the film makers for making an enjoyable film on a clearly limited budget. And while the budget was, as I said, clearly small, the special effects were good.And Angel was hot.
