![]() ![]() ![]() It's one of the best action movies I've seen recently and a good example of how an incredible action movie does not have to be a visual editing mess so this is one flick that director Michael Bay needs to watch to learn how to create meaningful action scenes where the viewer can actually see what happens on the screen and care for the fate of the characters. It may look like just another kids movie, but this one is really, really well directed !! I was not expecting this at all. This is a very, very well planned movie people. Particularly, because as I said, the action scenes are not empty and are all used to a purpose within the story structure. Not just because they look great but above all because they really are inventive and fun to watch. Not in this movie folks ! In Dragon Nest the action scenes are the glue that binds everything together. If this would be a failed and boring movie, Dragon Nest would have just presented the mission plot, presented the characters and then it would have spent the entire movie flashing empty action scenes. Also their different personalities are very well woven into the story structure and each character development marks a plot point, a twist or a revelation. Simply because they are so well defined and have great charisma, which is something that I wasn't expecting at all. The plot may be not that original, the characters are all mmorpgs clichés of course, but they are amazing in this story. What caught my eye was that this was a non stop action movie from start to finish but somehow managed to create and develop great characters among all the chaos and most impressively used the action to tell the story and not just to look cool and impress the teen audiences. ![]() Now, In a day and age where most fantasy animations all have the same standart storyline seen dozens of times before, frankly I wasn't expecting much from Dragon Nest the movie, but then it started and I knew immediately this one had something special in it. I've played the mmorpg a few times, but I hardly remember anything about it, except that I loved the visual atmosphere in it and that was what peaked my curiosity about this movie. Swords, magic, princesses, warriors, fighting, and DRAGONS!!!! In conclusion, this movie has pretty much everything you want in a children's action movie. The stereotype of bad guys wear black clothing were very prominent in this movie. Secondly, it was painfully obvious who the bad guys were. However, because of the fast pace, they were able to squeeze in a lot of enjoyable action scenes. Whatever character development did happen was only focused entirely around the main character. First of all, the whole story developed at a very fast pace, so fast that there was no room left for character development at all. It might be nitpicking since it's just a children's movie, but I feel like they could've done much better on some things. There are a couple of things that I didn't like. They did a great job of creating the atmosphere and setting the mood for most scenes. If I had to choose something memorable, I would have to say the music really stood out the most. The atmosphere, character, and the cartoon style sort of resembles How To Train Your Dragon in many ways. What I mean by that is when a character is cut, they do not show any blood or the wound and they do not die in any gruesome type of way. To start off, I should warn you that there are deaths in this movie, but the fighting and deaths scenes are very contained. Everything was explained well enough throughout the movie that you will follow along just fine. Don't worry if you've never played Dragon Nest before, you do not need to know the story of the game in order to follow along in this movie. What interested me about this movie was that I've played Dragon Nest in the past and I was interested to see what the movie would be like. As a 23 year old, watching this movie was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. ![]()
