Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

thomvic Funny thing is, I just watched the original a few hours ago. I borrowed the DVD from the library and it came with the double pack with both movies. So of course I was going to watch the second one too.Hahahaha what a joke. This movie pales in comparison to the former. I really gave this a chance as I know you can't make a sequel or a prequel exactly the same and I accept that totally. However, the story wasn't strong, the acting was pretty bad with some of it being way over the top and not to mention some dodgy special effects in terms of the dragons.The beginning was rather promising because I felt it was going to go down an interesting direction but then it just got extremely silly. In particular, it felt like I was watching a cross between the Karate Kid with the Asian character kung fu added in - and it wasn't necessary not to mention that it looked really corny and stupid.Christopher Masterson doesn't bring much at all to his character and while he is more effective in Malcolm In the Middle, his take on a dramatic character fails. This is not helped by the rest of the cast who look like they are taking part in a school play instead of a film.The dragon named 'Drake' at times looked a bit fuzzy in terms of the visuals but also isn't as charismatic as Draco in the first film - and he looked way more real in that.The narrative done in this was also unnecessary as though they think the audience will engage more with the story but it only makes it feel like the audience is clueless as to what is going on.All I can commend is the attempt they made to make it fun and to try to capture the warmth of the first one - other than that they failed miserably.

ctladybird It caused me physical pain to watch this movie. Not only was some of the acting terrible, and the effects were cheap, but Drake was ugly (C'mon, he's essentially Draco and the Scarred one's kid, and we all know how lovely Draco was). The plot was sub par, and the dragons were terrible. The FULL GROWN dragon was about 1/4 the size of Draco.This movie MAY have had the possibility to NOT SUCK if it had a bigger budget and a better script. I wouldn't let my kids watch this. I'd watch the first one with them. Honestly this shouldn't have happened. Don't even get me started on how many shots they took from Dragonheart, and they bastardized the old code. The Dragons looked very very fake, and the fact that the first movie was made in '96 and had much much better effects shows the lack of care put into the sequel. I gave this movie a chance, against my better judgment, thinking "It can't be THAT bad." But it was. The Bad guy was too cliché, and not the kind of bad guy that David Thewlis was in DH. It was a travesty, and nothing can be done to save it. Children should not be allowed to watch it. Oh, and taking the music that Randy Edelman wrote and using it throughout it not going to save it. Yeah. I'm sorry but I could not STAND this movie.

Cormyr Magnus This film is very enjoyable for all ages (as long as you understand the language and aren't a baby, not being sarcastic, i mean as long as you aren't like 2...) it has comedy in certain places where there would have been drama in the previous film, yet does have certain 'silly' little surprises, as you go from watching 'Drake' do his -tests- wrong you will find yourself giggling if not laughing. This film is good beyond measure, i saw it only a couple of days ago and think it is a great film. but certain parts could have been slightly improved, i found the ending not as sad as the previous, therefore losing character to the film in a way. I still give it a high rating as the ending is not the whole of the film, other part's had me slightly astounded by the way it was filmed, giving great shots of action, also with there being one certain little surprise which may have you wondering as it did me...but no spoilers, watch the film for a real taster.

greenspider45 i thought that it was better than the first,but that is my opinion.i know that many others think this film was bogus.but the first one had more action in it and thats why.but the girl in this one was outrageous.so you don't half to agree on this one.
