Ok movie but...
ascerb20 October 2019
This is one of those movies that the sound editor thought that hearing the music and background noises was more important than hearing the dialogue.

Good movie
lantzlionheart24 April 2020
I love both Dragon Nest movies, but I want to know why his name was Lambert in the first one and Fish in the second???

Nice if you don't wonder too much
darkelsar9 October 2017
A somewhat interesting movie of animation, visually well done. But sadly both the scenario and the characters are full of stereotypes, and without real complexity. A lot of scenes will make you smile, but a bunch of others, and especially the most important in the story and in the action, will totally make you sigh in despair because of their incredibility.

You can surely live without watching it, but it's still a quite nice entertainment where you just shouldn't ask yourself too many questions on the scenario and characters to find it OK enough.

A nice watch

I found the movie to be entertaining..has a lot of good picturization in it.It seems on the line of Epic(2013) with lots of green everywhere but still interesting.The simplicity of the movie is what makes you watch it till the end.The pumpkin act,the airplane,air ski board all added their touch to make the movie an entertaining one.It would have been better if the middle part too could have been made more interesting but I am not complaining.

Mediocre fantasy knockoff
bbshockwave18 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Where do I begin... from the 8-10 star reviews written in chinglish, you can guess who is up-voting this movie. Don't believe them. This is such a generic fantasy movie, it hurts. Also, it steals - blatantly - from other movies, games, books. In many ways, it is like a lot of Chinese knockoff toys and action figures - it looks, at first glance, like a quality product, but quickly falls apart under scrutiny.

The story could not be more convoluted if it tried - that is unless this is a sequel to a movie that never came out? We are told, in a drawn flashback of the heroics of Generic McHeroguy, who saved the (creepily underage-looking) elf princess from a dragon, and yet now travels back to a human city to be a blacksmith. They keep in contact via magically sent arrow-mail. He has a dwarf smith mentor who invented the steampunk hoverboard (see Treasure Planet), and his greatest personality trait are his giant eyebrows. They are also joined by two disgustingly cute fluffy sphere-shaped dog-creatures that sadly, are in the whole movie to be annoying (see Minions.) McHeroGuy is also capable of the Fus Ro Dah dragon-shout, we never learn how. (see Skyrim). They are finally joined by a burly big barbarian on a steampunk flying ship (see Miyazaki movies) who barely contributes anything to the plot.

In the meantime, the mother (sister?) of the princess, who has ridiculously long giant elf ears (see Warcraft) is getting ready for a wedding. However, her evil dark elf sister (see D&D and myriad other sources) uses some magic dark crystal to summon the fallen spirits of dead elves to distrupt the ceremony. Who is? Why does she hate her sister? What's the deal with a whole city of dead elves just a few kilometers away from the elf kingdom lying there unburied? Again, never explained. So our hero arrives to stop the attack on the wedding. Did I say stop? I mean, stand around and think hard while elves are massacred left and right. Get ready for this - as if the heroes thought this was an anime, they never try to shoot the obviously attacking villain first, they stand and raise questions at her even while she is merrily blasting away at them with magic.

In the fight McHeroboy wounds Ms Darkelf with an arrow, who returns it with interest. This infects him with darkness that sometimes lets her control him... how, why? Again, never explained. So Ms Darkelf McHips is apparently after a green magic crystal that she expected her sister would have on her, but which was not there... so she kidnaps her on a flying rock ship. Get ready for many, many pointless scenes of Ms Darkelf torturing her sister for the location of the crystal, deciding to kill her, then not doing it, then letting her escape easily and then recapturing her, and generally doing everything WRONG in the Evil Overlord list in not letting your captives escape easily.

McHeroboy, Eyebrows the Dwarf, Generic Barbarian and Loli Elf Princess then form a Fellowship of the Something (see LOTR) to save the princess. All the while, the snotty elves (see also LOTR/the Hobbit) insist they are better at this, and as expected, fail terribly, getting murdered by the hundred, because they somehow expected arrows, no matter how magical, to be effective against non-corporeal undead. Barbarian dude saves the king/father/whoever and a few survivors on his ship, while McHeroguy easily finds the (older) Princess but is somehow blackmailed into getting the crystal for Ms Darkelf instead. Then shenanigans happen and our hero is taken over totally by evil, yet he retains enough self restraint to break his arrow before shooting Loli Elf Princess. Unfortunately for him, she did not return the favor and shot him point blank in the chest. But of course, despite her father's warning that she could die, she uses the green crystal to revive McHeroboy easily because true love conquers all...

So final battle - the villain easily defeats everyone, until Deus Ex Green Tentacles appear and tie her up, because apparently the older Elf Princess can easily do that with the green crystal. Why did she not do this from the start, who knows. Ms Darkelf then merges with the dark crystal and turns into a zerg-dragon-elf hybrid (see Queen of Blades, Starcraft), as usual with the trope, losing her speech ability in the process. McHeroboy then seemingly betrays Loli Princess and gives the villain the crystal, only to Fus Ro Dah her into a volcano. She survives this however because... she can turn to smoke?... and grabs both crystals and McHeroBoy. She is stupid enough to not drop him into the volcano right away though, and he triggers the crystal, and both fall into the volcano that sprouts green leaves, makes all the undead spirits depart to elf heaven (?) and then OF COURSE McHeroboy is rebuilt by the crystal while the elves wonder what the hell was the point of all this. Nothing was gained, they just turned a volcano into a tree, everyone who died is still dead, and Ms Darkelf I guess died too (of course the crystal would only bring back McHeroBoy). We end with a forced extra romance between Generic Barbarian and Tomboy Shorthaired Elf Archer who I swear appeared from out of nowhere with no introduction in the last 20 minutes of the movie.

So overall, the movie is a terribly generic good vs. evil story you have seen a hundred times, stealing designs and plot elements from much better movies and games. It is also creepy, because while McHeroBoy looks 20-something, the elf princess love interest looks SO underage, it is really uncomfortable to watch their "romance".At any rate, do not bother with this unless like me, you feel it is your duty to check out every animated movie ever.

And I thought my sister was bad.
nogodnomasters18 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is the sequel to "Dragon's Nest." If you missed it, they summarize it. Little Fish, a human and Liya, an elf defeat a dragon together and have a long distance relationship. The sophisticated elves, who all look like they are Icelandic models, do not approve of the oafish humans. There is a life crystal and a dark crystal. No Skeksis, but an evil sister who looks like Maleficent and controls the dark crystal. At this point, the film is set up for you to write. While there is a love story, it stays very Platonic. Little Fish plays Silver Surfer. I wish they had did something else with the sound track. Seems it would have more of a girl appeal, 8-11 maybe. As a male adult, I was pretty well bored looking at what could be an Elvenar promotion film.

very good but not excellent
huangxian20 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I have to admit that after years of watching Hollywood style cartoon, this Chinese Made animation movie really catches my eye! It has very clear story-line; characters with different personalities; villain with brain and good strategy; beautiful designs and eye catching high quality pictures.

The only negative thing for this movie is the copyright problem with the game operator, so the movie maker had deleted many characters, only keep the very few of them.

If you are simply an animation movie fan, do not miss this Great Movie! It will not let you down. Watch it with your Kids!

It is the best
yekdhsty23 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The film I think is great, there are different characters and moving feelings, small fish and Liya's love deeply touched me, the story line is also very clear movie, the story gives a very twists and turns of a very Surprise feeling. In 2014, the Long Valley of the dawn of the first time I saw the pinnacle of Chinese animation! From the quality, story and music are not lost in the Hollywood animated film. Dragon Valley is a grand company agent game, the wizard throne should have been Dragon Valley trilogy in the second but in the film production is completed when the grand withdrawal of the Dragon Valley game IP, so that the grain company shall not Do not delete all the game-related things I do not know what the reasons but the grand move made me very disgusted, Dragon Valley is a good game but the agent's behavior is extremely bad Overall, this movie is great, but because of the film In the post-production changes so that the film becomes so little flaw is the story of the origin of the characters, but it also injected new vitality into the film! This movie is great! I do not know if there will be a second, if so I will support. Support the grain to support the throne!

A fun watch..
garber011813 October 2019
Just happened to see this as a recommendation in the "included with Prime". Well I like fantasy, as well as CGI, so I gave it a go. Definitely a pleasant surprise with this movie. It had descent effects, voice actors, jokes, ect... all in all a fairly well rounded animated film!

Amazing Sequel To Dragons Nest Warriors Dawn
TharsheyN28 March 2021
I personally have absolutely loved this movie and have rewatched it many times.

All the characters and their outfits have been slightly redesigned and may take you a little bit of time to get used to if you're coming to this film after watching DNWD, however I think they good a good job with the redesigns and they all look really good still!

The story continue on pretty well and the animation and visual effects are awesome as well. I personally love this film and would definitely watch a third one if they made it.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a very beautiful and interesting story. One of my favorite films .But the end is not enough for the film. It's only when they finally meet that it's even more interesting if they had a story. So if possible make at least 2 more parts. Realest another section soon.

Continuation of the movie Throne of Elves
mohammaderfanarbaby24 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Please make a sequel to the movie Throne of Elves as soon as possible. This movie 1 and 2 was great. It was the best movie I have seen. Please make it faster. It was a very interesting story. You still haven't shown the land of wizards, where the elves and humans are united in one. Also, the new king of humans and other lands that are not yet known. Please announce as soon as possible whether it will be made or not because it is very popular. Although this animation is old and the last one was for 2017, I have seen it 100 times so far. I didn't get bored, this movie has a really interesting story and it is not repeated at all that other creatures besides humans live and can be united with other lands to deal with them..

Amazing story
miltakis9 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I just can't understand what not to like. It may be a bit cliche of a story but it is the story about Lambert(he is the legendary swordsman in the game which it is based on) I saw complaints about how can he fus roh dah even though it is a skill in the game for the swordsman in the game long before Skyrim was even released. Lastly if you played Dragon nest (especially if you play the swordsman class) Lambert is supposed to be your father.
