Soso Review: Dragonslayer


I so don't understand those IMDB people. Though this had a similar plot to Eragon, it didn't even come close to the entertainment value yet they rated it much higher. Just too weird.

A sorcerer's apprentice tries to help a village kill a virgin eating dragon after his magical mentor dies. He meets a guy we found out is a girl and they fall for each other.

He thinks he managed to kill the dragon but he's wrong and his girlfriend goes into the lottery with every girl in the village. The king's daughter thinks she's been part of the lottery all along but finds out that's not true. She fills the lottery hat with all her name which upsets her farther.

The magician comes to life and helps his assistant slay the dragon for real. I do not agree that the effects hold up as someone on IMDB said. I do NOT agree that the acting was good. It's not as bad as I expected but it's not worth watching unless you're really REALLY into this kind of thing.

Look in Bandon and Myrtle Point for the DVD and North Bend for the VHS copy.
