[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 4532608, member: 533"] Now that I have finally watched it, I can honestly say ... it needs work. The premiere episode starts off slow. The dialogue could be a little bit better. I'm reluctant to approve the leading actor. The SFX, mainly the Wizard's Fire, could be better, and should since Raimi have had experience with better SFX in films. It also happens to take slo-mo combat elements from [i]300[/i]. The good things? 1. Bruce Spence (whose credit stretched back to [i]Mad Max[/i] to [i]LOTR[/i] -- he was the Mouth of Sauron in the XE DVD -- to [i]Star Wars[/i]) who plays the wizard/mentor Zedd. 2. Craig Parker (formerly the blonde-haired tragic elf warrior Haldir in [i]LOTR[/i]) plays the villainous Darken Rahl. Didn't recognize him in his dark hair but his voice is very familiar for his [i]LOTR[/i] quote: "The dwarf breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark." [/QUOTE]
