dawnmiralle Paladine! I haven't read these books in years- and I mean all 13 of the originals. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, so I wasn't horribly disappointed, but it did help jog my memory. If not for that, the score probably would have been lower-- it's just a terrible representation of the story. The actors may all be good, but reading lines without a clear understanding of the characters or the storyline results in, well- this movie. Kiefer Sutherland actually did a good standalone job, but everyone else was pretty flat... I loved these stories. Somebody please do these books some justice. PLEASE! If you make a good film, you don't need to rely so heavily on the fan base anyway. Every LOTR fan will come see it b/c of the genre.
JUN i remember also watching an early animated version of Tolkien's The Hobbit. The animation was terrible. This has the same feeling to it. Correct me if I am wrong but maybe the animation part was done in the Philippines or India?Like a previous rating, the movie shattered my imagination of Krynn. I imagined Krynn to be a darker Tolkien universe. The movie made it seem like a Disney's version of it.The voice do not match the lip movements, the action (if any) was very stolid, the animation has no emotion of any kind, the humor is non- existent.I was just glad that they did not make the part 2 of the series!
TheLittleSongbird I love the Dragonlance books, they are brilliantly written and exciting with strong characters and imagery. This movie doesn't deliver on any level, except for one. Kiefer Sutherland does an outstanding job with his voice work, other than that Dragonlance:Dragons of Autumn Twilight isn't worth it really. The animation is very outdated, the backgrounds and colours are very dull, the visual effects are too flashy and out-date the visual style more and all the characters look awkward especially in the facial expressions. The music is both generic and forgettable with no themes sticking out as such, the writing is cheesy and trite and the story is predictable, convoluted and very rushed through. None of the characters are believable or likable and look very uncomfortable especially in the unexciting action sequences, and the rest of the voice acting is bland. All in all, only worth seeing for Kiefer Sutherland, everything else stinks in my opinion. 2/10 Bethany Cox
Svperstar A quick introduction. I am 28. I first read the Dragonlance books when I was 11 years old. At the time they were my favorite books. In fact when I first got on the net in like 1994 I looked up more info about the original 6 books by Weis and Hickman.Since then I have grown up and graduated college. I just found out about this movie recently; having not been a fan of fantasy books in years I had no idea this movie was even in development.On the positve, Keifer Sutherland doing the voice acting.The negative? Everything else.I must admit the geek in me smiled when this movie started, but soon I couldn't stand watching it and had to resist the urge to fast forward.Its understandable that they had to cut parts of the plot out but it was like watching the book in 3x fast-forward.Due to the poor animation the characters, the emotions of the characters are reduced to long looks and short nods. The animation in this movie is worse than most 80s cartoons.Like most Dragonlance fans Raistlin is my favorite character. In this movie he is elevated from not just a wizard but an all knowing seer-of-visions. In the books Raistlin is very very specific that he is NOT a seer, and doesn't trust their visions.Overall, if you are a fan of the series, I recommend watching it just for laughs, but if you expect a good film you will be very disappointed.
