I love this film. It's so much fun from start to finish. The plot is simple, the evil Mage Profion is trying to usurp the power of the new Empress Savina. The key to both sides is an ancient rod of power that will control Red Dragons, honestly it really doesn't matter. This is tv movie material on a cinema screen and it is a thing of beauty.
Forget all the reviews that compare this to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, this feels like a group of friends got together for some LARPing (live action role play) and someone happened to film it. Everyone just seems really happy and to be having just so much fun.
Jeremy Irons is clearly having an insane amount of fun and it's good that so much of the film's backdrops are CGI or they'd have his teeth marks all over it from his scenery chewing.
Justin Whalin tries to bring all of the intensity of an A list movie to his lead role, clearly thinking he's making Lord of the Rings.
Bruce Payne channels a drag Queen on downers for his performance as the lethargic but fabulous Damodar.
I went to the cinema 3 times to see this. It's literally the perfect bad movie.
