At the request of a few forum members, and after consulting with each other, the Moderation Staff have decided to open up two new review threads.
One thread for positive reviews, one for negative reviews.
The current review thread will be locked. I encourage those who have posted reviews to copy/paste them into the appropriate thread, and I apologize in advance for the inconvenience, however we feel this is the best course of action.
RULES:
- You may ONLY post reviews and discussion of reviews in this thread. No arguing over points and counter-points (Example: If you have a negative view of the movie, don't go posting arguments in the Positive Thread and vice-versa.
- Some general discussion is fine, but if it strays into it's own topic just make a new topic for it. (Example: If the topic begins to stray to the soundtrack, start posting in the soundtrack thread.)
- Negative reviews are to be in the Negative Review thread, Postive reviews are to be in the Positive Review thread.
- Off topic posts, or posts that belong in a different thread will be deleted without warning or mercy.
- Repeat offenders will be banned.
- These rules were established to reduce flaming, off-topic posts, and clutter in the forums with new and unnecessary threads. |

It would be fairly close to do it in 3+ hours. Or in two 2+ hour movies, but the halfway stop point would need some consideration.

the list is nowhere near complete or final. i have some others i am looking at. But for now they are the pickings i looked for.
Chris angel is not pretty as is raistlin but he is not yet final. so is 2 or 3 of the other main characters.
i chose them for the look of the face but will refine them when i am done with the script.
also a bit on the length of the movie ....
i have looked at harry potter and lotr series and lotr is over 2.3 hours long why oh why did they cut dl to 90 min only.
i think we can have the first novel dragons of autumn twilight in one movie and so for the rest of the dl series chronicles.
looking at the hobbit movie the desolation of smaug it's 2:41:50sec long.
can they explain why then did lord of the rings series movies make so much and harry potter movies make so much in box office. some of the best movies i have seen are over 2 hours and then there are the greats at 3 hours plus.
see this list of movies it has a lot of classics in them and some that has made box office history:
http://www.listal.com/list/3-hour-fillms
http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/?pagenum=1&sort=year&order=DESC&p=.htm
Is it not then right to say make it as complete and as near the book as possible?
that is what i envisioned for this movie dl. no cuts to the story that would break or leave information away to the character builds. |

pir9008: I wholly agree with you. I feel that it will take someone who has affection for DL to make a good movie of the series. But it also takes financial resources, someone who is willing to pour $$$ into the project. The DL books first came out in 1984 as LOTR came out in 1954 with the Hobbit in the mid '40's. Longer exposure by far, which means more people over the years read J.R.R's books vs. MW/TH DL series. It will take time, but I feel sooner or later it will happen for DL.... I just hope I get to see it or at least DoAT on film....  I know I'm being one heck of a major optimist here but that is just the way I'm built

SHAME ON YOU ALL! OK the movie is animated, is that a bad thing? there are other adaptations to books that are animated and are still great as movies i.e. The Hobbit, The Jungle Book, Watershipdown. Also another poster said that average length of movie was over two and a half hours. O.K. are you joking me? most are a little short of two hours and that is not animated.
Here is what I think.......A movie can never be as good as the book, try to nam one! you can't! I also remember when Wizards of the Coast thought about making a movie and all of us Dragonlance fans where upset that we didn't get the movi of Dragonlance.....well guess what we finally did. Forgoten Realms Sells more and makes Wizads mor the Dragonlance but yet We got a Movie! Shouldnt we be proud! Yes its not exactlly like the novel, yet no movie is. at least we have something to show ou you kids and hope that they like it enough to actually read the books.
No matter if you agree with me or not, I love beeing a fllow Draonlance fan with you all!
P.S. I can't spell. Sorry
Sincerely,
Shion
firstly the humor and innocence of Tas is lost in this poor attempt at this movie.
the nobility of Sturm Brightblade is not apparent.
The seriousness of Flint is lost.
The leadership of Tanis, what leadership.
Caramon and Raistlin i am but naming a few. no conflict and no humility from caramon towards his brother. wth happened there. the voice over for raistlin perhaps misplaced but i think that sutherland is a great actor and this does not do him good.
secondly the layout was poorly done in no way does it resemble solace or xak tsaroth pardon my spelling.
thirdly the end scene is totally wrong as to the end of dragons of autumn twilight.
I would have put in some more effort into the making and design of this movie and adaptation than the previous crew did.
I think the approval from MW/TH is misplaced and an affront to us the loyal followers and fans of the dragonlance saga.
PS. i started reading and following this saga as they started in the beginning and had the privilege of owning a collectors edition.
It pains me to say this but this movie is not worth the effort for any hard core fan. It will only make you weep.
As for me i am currently working on my own art designs for my showreel in 3d modelling and animation. Maybe i should sneek in some of dragonlance's characters when i do some modelling and post my work or representations here for some critic to trol me also lolololol |

The character designs themselves were not all that bad but the glitches that happened when mixing 2D & 3D were ridiculous and besides that the two just looked bad together. The voice acting was garbage....what more is there to say? There will never be another

 Well and utterly disappointing movie.
1.Over powering music.
2.Story line Butchered
3.characters not as expected
4.Way too short, missing information and character backgrounds.
As far as i am concerned this is a very poor attempt to visualize the movie from the novel. I would fire my crew if they gave me this poor quality workmanship.
What was Margeret and Tracy thinking when they got these guys to do the movie. The animation went totally away from the original works posted by Margeret and Tracy in the novels. |

True but unfortunatly unlike the Lord of the Rings I dont think DL will get another chance.

Granted it was not the greatest..... but neither was the first attempt of LOTR.......

It was not an ANIME it was just an animated movie. Calling the DL movie an ANIME is an insult to ANIME.

Wow! That was Horrible!! I watched the movie two days ago( it has taken me this long to get over what I watched)and words do not even begin to describe how poorly made this movie was! I find it very hard to believe that MW & TH signed off on this! I understand the need to go ahead and release something but don't your fans deserve something that is worth watching. Hey or how about something with a storyline from the novels? You have butchered a work of art and should forced into slavery by gullydwarves!! |
