Age of the Dragons

Danny Glover has slowly turned into a monster.

After more or less interesting beginning the movie was filled with empty talks, terrible acting and poor action (couple of times). Characters were badly build, though Danny Glover tired to enlighten his part. The end was the biggest letdown in long time. And what was the machine which moved by itself?

Not nearly as bad as the majority would have you believe, as long as you go in with an open mind and remember that not every movie has a huge budget to work with. I really enjoyed the premise of the flick and thought they built on it fairly well. Yes, the effects are sub-standard but they shouldn't be your main focus. They at least put in some decent actors who do a fair job, although Glover is certainly beginning to look a little long in the tooth.

Could have been interesting but does nothing beyond the initial premise

Pretty bad CGI to start; the white dragon looks like something straight out of The Asylum's playbook, a "we need a dragon but we only have 20-thou to spend" sort of thing. Anyways. I give the film props for taking a classic tale and putting at least a somewhat-fascinating spin on it. Ahab was an interesting character; at the same time, protagonist and vengeance-fueled anti-hero. Some unneeded emotional tack-ons, but nothing too egregious. Don't shy away because of bad reviews. It's worth a look.
