Games: Adventures Of A Teenage Dragonslayer

The poster and cover art for Adventures
of a Dragonslayer leave a lot be desired when you actually sit



down and
watch it.

They make it looks as though the film, an action-comedy for
all the family, is a colourful and rather epic romp, but this could not
be further from the truth, as it's a dark, grimy and incredibly bland 90
minutes of visuals for the eyes that do not make up quite the feast
that you may be expecting, though this lack in eye-friendliness will not
completely detract from the experience for young audiences.



The story follows the adventure (yes, singular)
of teenager Arthur and his closest of friends who collectively refer to
themselves as the Knights of the Square Table. Consumed by the trading card game
Elixir Quest (think a sword and sorcery version of Pokemon), the
friends spend their post-school afternoons playing around in sewers.
Yes, because teenagers like to knock around in sewers, right?

Uh huh.
But, in the midst of their foul-smelling fun, they stumble upon a
blue-skinned (or unconvincingly painted) troll in the sewers and discover that what they thought was a fantasy world of dragons and magic in the card game
is actually reality, and they soon find themselves brewing potions and
standing in the warpath of an evil dragon with a taste for setting
things ablaze with its breath.



There are a few laughs but most of
the humour is cliché – it may be entertaining to the 8-12 year-old
demographic having said that, but even so it's pretty restrained on the
gags. It's interesting to see Lea Thompson back in a feature film, but
she's really not done anything of note since her portrayal of Lorraine
in the Back to the Future trilogy, which is quite unfortunate. When you
do eventually get to see Darksmoke the dragon, his computer-generated
design is far from impressive, but then again this is a very low-budget
film, so I do think the film-makers did a decent job with the money and
technology they had at their disposal
in their efforts to make an entertaining movie, but it's still an
overly ambitious concept for what they could have ever pulled off. While
I like the intentions of this corny little film, there are so many
better out there with the same target audience, especially involving
dragons, so there really isn't much point in checking this out.
