Instantly added as one of the worst films I've ever seen. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about the movie, not even Jeremy Irons' charming acting or Thora Birch's baps. Devoid of all plot and interesting characters, this is a rip-roaring cliche-fest which showcases the lack of talent of the director and bundles it in with a non-stop intrusive horn soundtrack to boot. Avoid at all costs.
Description:The Empire of Izmer has long been a divided land. The Mages - an elite group of magic users - rule whilst the lowly commoners are powerless.

Izmer's young Empress, Savina, wants equality and prosperity for all, but the evil Mage Profion is plotting to depose her, and establish his own rule. The Empress possesses a scepter which controls Izmer's Golden Dragons. To challenge her rule, Profion must have the scepter, and tricks the Council of Mages into believing Savina is unfit to hold it. Knowing that Profion will bring death and destruction to Izmer, Savina, must find the legendary Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that has the power to control Red Dragons, a species even mightier than the Gold. Enter two thieves, Ridley and Snails, who unwittingly become instrumental in Savina's search for the Rod. Joined by a feisty Dwarf named Elwood, and helped by the Empress's expert tracker, the Elf Norda, the young heroes go in search of the Rod of Savrille. From the deadly maze of the Thieves Guild at Antius to an Elven Village, secret grotto and abandoned castles, Ridley and his band must outwit Profion's chief henchman Damodar at every turn while back in Izmer, Profion prepares to do battle with the Empress. All depends on the Rod, but outcome of the race to reach it first is far from certain, and Izmar's very survival hangs in the balance.... (more)(less)

The Ups: Great potential. War between dragons. Marlon Wayans gets killed in the film. Crap CGI.
The Downs: Extreme failure. Terrible script. A lot of shouting. Jeremy Irons fucks it up with overacting. Annoying Marlon Wayans."
"1.2.2013
Very retarded fantasy-movie in too many ways to mention, but some of those moments, such as everything with Bruce Payne and Jeremy Irons - who is pulling some serious overacting - can be amusing. Marlon Wayans should be included in the flaws department, but I think I liked him in the same way I liked Tracy Morgan in Cop Out. You get more entertained if there is something so annoying to watch, because this movie was a big borefest mostly. "

"Like watching a bad Playstation game with a horrendous plot, horrible action sequences and dragons with such great CGI quality that you could probably fart out a better-looking reptile with Blender in five minutes while sleeping.
At least Jeremy Irons seemed to enjoy every second he is on screen."

"Katsottu 7.1.2012., dvd
Hyvin sietämätön Playstation -peli, joka on puristettu paskoilla efekteillä varustetuksi fantasiaelokuvaksi jota katsoessa ehtii miettimään elämää, maailmankaikkeutta ja kaikkea. Edes Jeremy Irons ei pelasta tätä jättiluokan katastrofia. Marlon Wayans vain pahentaa asiaa.
Olisi pitänyt käydä Alkossa kotimatkalla."
