I had seen a trailer of this film and just had to see it based on that. I knew from the trailer that this was no big money production with well known stars acting in it but have found quite the many jewels in smaller budget films in the past.
I was extremely disappointed -- especially so considering I was looking forward to the two future films to complete this trilogy. I can sit thru the worst films ever just to be doing but could not keep from drifting off during this one! The story line could and should be a pretty decent one but is overshadowed totally by unimaginative filming and special effects in the movie. Basically if you watch this film you will switch between the following scenes throughout the whole thing; 1)the cast walking in a single line v e r y slowly through the same woods 2) the cast stopped in the woods bickering with one another 3) one or two of the cast stopped in the woods having a vision or a dream (both located in the SAME woods and involving one or two of the other actors) 4) the cast stopped in the same woods fighting with the same dragon (NOT a very realistic one at that) and last but not least the scene you will see every five minutes throughout...a camera giving you a panoramic view of some unknown mountains that never change supplemented with crappy Celtic music.
As I said...VERY disappointed.
