Dragon Knight

The plot is not bad, screenwriting average and very contrived a bit like a pantomime.

Ryan Livingstone comes over as if he swallowed Brian Blessed and then shouted at everyone and everything.. Not one good actor in this film which makes it funny you wonder which idiots given them money to finance such drivel.

I love watching Dragon and Magic genre movies, but for this one I am glad I started drinking first. It's so low budget and comical acting that now I can't stop watching it. I think it might be a younger generation version to compete with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." If a killer rabbit comes on screen I am hooked. Only 281 characters left before I am allowed to submit this review. Dang, just realized spaces don't count as characters like text message apps do. 132 characters left. Wow, the hot villain chick already turned to the good side. Wow, the geek has already fell behind the knights.. enough characters so "Submit Review"

Just pointless and dull. Bad acting, generic as hell, poorly written. I could forgive the low budget if it wasn't so bland. Boring bloodless sword fights. Every bad guy wears a mask so they could use the same 3 "stuntmen" for each fight. No passion. Didn't care about any of the characters. The end battle was larger, but by that point (long before that point actually) I didn't care. Yep, it had a dragon.

It was shot in a nice wide 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but barely had the content of a 4:3 90s Hercules TV rip-off to fill it. The score was fine.

I feel bad making fun of this movie because it was obvious that the people who made it were sincere and at least trying. But it just wasn't good. They should have made a fun Deathstalker rip-off or a simple kid's flick. Instead, it just seems like a resume placeholder made because "reasons".

Great, another movie made by Live Action Role-Playing enthusiasts.

I stumbled upon the 2022 fantasy movie "Dragon Knight" by random luck, and having played fantasy role-playing games for just about 36 years, then of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer Sarah Daly and director Lawrie Brewster had to offer.

Turns out that they didn't have a whole lot to offer. This movie was low budget and amateurish at best. Everything just permeated a stench of LARP (Live Action Role-Playing) to high heavens. And that is just not something I want to watch on the screen. If I had an interest in LARPing, I would venture out to one of the local forests and have a gander at the geeks dressing up as goblins and wizards.

I am sure that the concept of the storyline in "Dragon Knight" was fair enough, however it should have been kept away from camera lenses in a dark, dense forest full of nerds and geeks playing dress-up.

For a fantasy movie then "Dragon Knight" was a heavy swing with a two-handed sword, but both the writer and the director apparently rolled a natural 1 on their skill check and fumbled most horribly. The movie was atrociously bad.

I managed to sit through 30 minutes, and the narrative was so slow and uneventful that I believed that I had sat through more than an hour. So I was rather shocked when only 30 minutes had passed. And the pacing of the story was one of the major reasons for why I opted to end the suffering after 30 minutes. This movie was just simply not worth the time of day.

The acting performances in "Dragon Knight" were amateurish. Again, I am going to draw the LARP card here, because the performances felt like that. And lead actor Ryan Livingstone (playing Braedyn) was just downright laughably bad to witness on the screen as he was growling forcefully through every single syllable of dialogue. Granted, I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list here, and that is usually something I do enjoy when watching movies. But "Dragon Knight" hardly qualified as a proper movie, so go figure.

As much as I enjoy the fantasy genre, then truth of the matter is that most of the movies out there are not really worth the effort. And "Dragon Knight" didn't turn out to be any different. If you enjoy fantasy movies, don't waste your time, money or effort on this movie from writer Sarah Daly and director Lawrie Brewster.

My rating of "Dragon Knight" lands on a glorious two out of ten stars.

This movie looks like it was filmed on a cellphone. The acting and fight scenes are just horrible. The story is bland and uninspired. I was not expecting Lord of the Rings or anything, but even for an indie it left a lot to be desired.
