Dragonworld: The Legend Continues (1999) Reviews
Awesome!!!
Dragonworld: The Legend continues is so bad compared to the original Dragonworld. And the story is pretty weak too. But in the midst of all that, the movie is very enjoyable. Drake Bell did a great job at his part of Johnny. And Yowler. Oh Yowler. The costume may have looked like he was Barney's cousin. But it was a great costume. Me and my best friend watch this every Friday the 13th. It's a tradition. Even though the special effects may not be "Mind Blowing", and the acting may not be "Award Winning", it's a very fun, entertaining, and all around enjoyable movie. -Stay Awesome D.
really awful
What a waste of On-Demand space! Don't bother. The 'dragon' is a guy in a goofy suit and neither flies or breathes any fire--he can't even run very well (references to Barney are well deserved). Very limited specials that are nothing special. The whole cast is Scots except for the main character (fairly well played by Drake Bell, despite the bowl haircut) who is glaringly American. Although he's supposed to be the new Laird of the castle, no explanation for this--or much of anything else in what poses as a plot--is ever given, though apparently the original Dragonworld did provide some of the background needed to have even a vague understanding of what is going on--& not having seen it, I was pretty lost! Ted Nicolaou shows remarkable hubris (or stupidity) in admitting to writing this dreck. Tina Martin is passable as Mrs. Cosgrove, but can't rise above the terrible material any more than anyone else in this disaster. Really, really bad.
I laughed hysterically while watching this movie... for the wrong reasons.
I recently saw Dragonworld 2. I'm sure it would be fine for a 2 year old with no knowledge of reality. I'm not talking about fantasy. I wouldn't criticize a movie because fantasy doesn't involve reality. I love fantasy, so when I saw the title Dragonworld 2 on Comcast On Demand, I selected it, and watched. A few friends were with me at the time. Instead of what I expected, I became entertained by the awful graphics and how some scenes made no sense. For instance, why does a dragon look like a bad version of Barney? Why does he run slower than an old man or a 8(?) year old boy? How can he catch up to a car going approx 40 miles per hour with a 20 minute head start? Why can't he fly? If he's to young or disabled, it made no comment of this in the movie. One scene in particular I remember. As the old man and dark knight face each other, the knight gathers lightning in the sky. The knight, holding a METAL sword, and the old man, holding a WOODEN stick. The lightning stays, and for some strange reason, is attracted to the old mans wooden stick. If the knight causes this, the movie shows no signs of it. Many more faults are inside this laughable movie, but I'm not going to mention them, for it would give away to much. I'm sure this movie is liked by a few 2 year old's, even if they did mistake the dragon for Barney's baby brother.
Cheesy beyond belief
It's not often you see dragons in cinema portrayed by men in suits, but DRAGONWORLD: THE LEGEND CONTINUES is an exception to that rule. On watching it, you quickly realise why. The dragon - Yowler - in this film is portrayed by a guy in a bright orange rubber suit which has a rubbery dragon head bouncing around on top and a really thick neck which contains the actor's head. It's a ridiculous look, not that it matters too much as the rest of the film is equally silly. The setting is some make-believe Scotland, although this was shot in Romania by the guy behind the SUBSPECIES films. The protagonists are pursued by an evil medieval knight in a full suit of armour and there's all manner of emoting, random comedy, and general cheesiness. This is the kind of film to be laughed at rather than entertained by, and it's rather an inauspicious swansong for Scottish actor Andrew Keir, best known for his bombastic turn in QUATERMASS AND THE PIT.
Folks, we're entering Ed Wood territory here...
Forget everything you ever knew about dragons. They aren't majestic fire-breathing creatures that soar through the sky. They're pathetic rubber costumed freaks who stumble about making daft noises. At least, they are in Bonnie Scotland, where this film is set (but I'll eat my proverbial hat if it was actually shot there). It's the pet of a little Yank with a bowlcut, and it's up to him to save it from The Dark Knight( no, not THAT one) or the armour-clad one will use it's blood to TAKE OVER THE WORLD with his evil sorcery (funny, I thought only magicians could use magic). Altogether now... dun...dun... DUN!! We get an early taste of the horrors to come, when we see the dragon as a babe in a flashback. As bad as the adult size version is, the sheer ineptitude of this barely animated puppet is beyond belief. If this is material culled from a prequel, it's probably playing non-stop in Hell right now. As it stands, at least we only have to tolerate some guy in a stupid outfit knocking stuff over and getting lost in the woods. A miserable creation no doubt, but a FAR more enticing prospect than the abomination the prologue would suggest. Aside from that, its dodgy Scottish accents ahoy... as each member of the cast tries to rival each other in Highland caricatures. With the exception of a beastly English social worker who wants to take the American moppet away from his adoptive family... My guess is, when selecting the actress for the role their sole criteria was to go for the one with the most grisly face and nastiest scowl. Mission accomplished. There's also lots of mumbo-jumbo about Celtic tradition, non-stop bagpipe 'music' on the soundtrack, chirpy chirpy cheap cheap CGI and a short running time at 75 minutes. I can also report it takes just 75 seconds to stamp the disc to oblivion, before inserting the pieces into the nearest bin. I would sell it on, but where would I fight another mug like me now? 3/10
