Let's start with the positives. There are some decent special effects. There has been some respectable fight choreography. Some of the top cast do their best with the execrable material, singling out Richard and George, and maybe Elizabeth for this. Even the King recovers some credit in the last scene.
But: the design, the ludicrous story, the feeble connects, the lowest of low budgets and some of the worst acting ever seen on the silver screen make this a near total waste of time. Prince Favian's character acts as if he is in a nativity play, but is conscious he's not the best thing in that nativity play. The story doesn't hang together for thirty seconds at a time. You can always forgive a low budget, but that is usually covered up by tight scripts and good acting. Not here. It's as if so much of the budget went on a couple of dragon scenes there wasn't any left for writers, designers, or actors.
Don't waste 90 minutes of your life on this.
