Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Herman Melville's Moby-Dick gets a landlocked remix courtesy of ill-conceived action-adventure Age of the Dragons.
Rotten: Might have worked in the hands of Roger Corman and John Sayles.
Rotten: Like a harpoon in the side of Herman Melville's great novel, this low budget fantasy yarn is more drag than dragon.
Rotten: Entirely forgettable and somewhat unhealthy, lingering on the palate like an impulsive, Friday-night kebab.
Customer Reviews
It's not good, but worth a watch for dragon film completists...
I was excited for this movie (in the low budget kind of way), but was sadly disappointed. I barely remember the film, if that means anything. I just remember being very disappointed, and wishing the dragons looked better (as in the CGI is better in the PS3 games I play). Fantasy/dragon film buffs should watch to get it over with, but probably don't need to buy, just rent...
