Review of the Dragonlance DVD at Newsarama!

[Klaus]

He may be suggesting that changes were made to the story that put it more in the vein of LotR rather than the source material. That's what I got out of his response, anyway.

Ditto.

Any kind of adaptation cuts out stuff, and I'm guessing they cut out the stuff that made DL more unlike LotR.

But story aside, his words on the animation are pretty harsh.

Now how come the movie couldn't look more like this than the crap it is now?

Anyone bought this yet? I just can't imagine doing so until someone posts it isn't as unwatchable as the previews suggest.

Prepare for a long wait.

Prepare for a long wait.

I'm a sucker. I have every intention of buying the DVD after work today. I mean, I know going into it that it looks bad, so accepting that, I can just enjoy the (hopefully) great voice acting... right?








I know... I'm a sucker.

buy it? Buy it where? Is it available only online?

 

[Darkwolf71]

Best Buy 'Available at most stores'.

If not, well I won't lose any sleep over it.

Turok looks pretty good. That's a good question. At a guess I'd some someone was being cheep, but they spent money on the voice cast. So probably management. More cash was dropped on the voice cast than on production. Pity.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Well, I will be buying it, cause I am sucker for Dragons

It's absolutely horrible. Words can't express how bad it is. From the graphics, to the actors (Sutherland and Lawless do okay i guess), and last but not least, the cutting.

1h30'ish minutes, and it feels like they cut half the book.
