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. This infects him with darkness that sometimes lets her control him. In the fight McHeroboy wounds Ms Darkelf with an arrow, who returns it with interest. 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. Did I say stop? I mean, stand around and think hard while elves are massacred left and right. So our hero arrives to stop the attack on the wedding. 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. 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. In the meantime, the mother (sister?) of the princess, who has ridiculously long giant elf ears (see Warcraft) is getting ready for a wedding. They are finally joined by a burly big barbarian on a steampunk flying ship (see Miyazaki movies) who barely contributes anything to the plot. 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. He has a dwarf smith mentor who invented the steampunk hoverboard (see Treasure Planet), and his greatest personality trait are his giant eyebrows. They keep in contact via magically sent arrow-mail. 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. 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. Also, it steals - blatantly - from other movies, games, books. This is such a generic fantasy movie, it hurts. from the 8-10 star reviews written in chinglish, you can guess who is up-voting this movie. A good era for the classic portrayals of youth ( The 400 Blows), face-melting action ( Raiders of the Lost Ark), and romance ( Romeo & Juliet).Where do I begin.
Don’t miss out on epic quests ( Star Wars), wish fulfillment ( Home Alone), and dazzling fantasies ( Spirited Away).Īges 10-12: The magic window, the time in life when movies can move and change tweens, and stick for the rest of time. Here we feature colorful classics ( The Wizard of Oz), fun adventures ( Chicken Run), and tales as old as time ( Beauty and the Beast).Īges 6-9: As more time is devoted to school and outside life, movies become more of an escape, and their power to transport starts to become apparent. So, we separated the movies in suggested age categories:Īges 1-5: Kids may not actively recall everything from this age, but a good baseline is fundamental in developing a healthy appetite for movies. While all these movies are classics and can be seen at any age, some have stronger themes than others that would play better during upper years. These are not just great children’s movies, but movies that play well for the curious and growing mind. Looking to enrich your kid’s viewing habits?
