Terrible acting/dialogue, excellent plot basis, mediocre movie
I don’t have any new Simon Cowell to add, so I’ll only go into depth about what was good about this film: not a whole heck of a lot, but it was batting 1.000 when the guy came up with the idea. (I’m really interested in this genre since Origin Systems stopped producing Ultima) That idea was that a young woman who comes from another world (a murky one at that!) is somehow cursed for breaking a law and spends part of her day as a winged monster. A cynical government-actor captures her to use her as a weapon. This story is woven into a Robin Hood one. (How that last part works, I don’t know, but I guess someone else does.) Unfortunately, the movie kept putting me to sleep (figuratively) so I missed some of the finer points of the plot.The acting and English accents have a serious credibility problem, the dialogue isn’t exactly chancy, and sometimes the seams show on the CGI. I don’t think the plot was executed in a very good way either. There was a romantic dimension, but that looked like they remembered to throw it in at the last minute.
There are a couple of things that I can respect a movie like this for: one is that it didn’t have a lot of silly modern slang (the worst was a single “a little help”). Also, while Katharine Isabelle does show a lot of skin, there is no bona fide nudity (possibly because Isabelle refuses to do any). A movie like this should be going for such cheap thrills, but it doesn’t. Good for it!
I wish it was Steven Spielberg who’d gotten ahold of this idea. I think it would have made a fine story, but instead what we have is typical Canadian B.
Not even Richard Greene could have saved it
Okay, so it’s an awful script, poor acting, strange scene changes, bad dialog, and mildly amusing special effects, it was still worth the watch, if only to see how badly done a King Richard’s subject could be handled. Agree with all former reviews, but I for one am thankful someone thinks Robin should be updated here. (even if it is to poor fantasy). The robbing the rich to give to the poor is not stated much here, but Robin’s chivalry towards Marion is refreshing, (no leering sexual innuendos or sexy talk here), and the poor afflicted dragon-lady does her best to suffer through her malady. Julian Sands over acts and looks too remorseful all the time (maybe about his contract?), Robin Dunne is poorly cast as he appears more ready for 21 Jump Street his director already did. There’s nothing wrong with poor, bland, baseless, badly written stories.. do better yourself and sell it. We’re dealing with a good idea gone bad here, must’ve been some political/financial reason behind the attempt. Don’t care to know. Still besides Erroll Flynn, Richard Greene, and Kevin Costner, what did you expect from a fresh face and story? Good thing we didn’t have to pay at a movie house. I enjoyed microwave popcorn and a moment to relax in fantasy and adventure, albeit little of either…
