Dark Kingdom:The Dragon King
by Donald West (Fayetteville, N.C. USA)
Amazon misrepresented this item in its advertisement. On their web page they presented this item as being 184 minutes long. This would have been the original mini series which i wanted. When I received the item, it is only 132 minutes long. I already had this dvd. I wanted the 184 minutes version. There is no place on their web page to complain about it.
4/5
An excellent B movie production...
by D. Knox (New Mexico, USA)
First of all - let's face it, most fantasy-type movies fall into the "B" movie category. So, if we start there, it is easy to give this film four stars and call it an excellent production. And it really is. This is a VERY fun movie, for all of what I would call an ending that does not leave you smiling. As moviegoers we tend to love movies with the more complicated but happy endings. This is not the case here! Overall, though, I loved the movie, loved the story, and though I dislike the ending, it truly rates four stars from me for the timeless tale of how everyone's good intentions can go horribly wrong when mixed with personal longing.
1/5
Junk
by Hans Heuer
I watched the original version of this movie in Germany, It is based on the Ancient German legen of Siegfried.. This is inaccurate to actual story is sooo americanized... Dont buy it and read the original story Nibelungen or the legend of Siegfried..
3/5
Beautiful movie...but
by Patriot Reader (Idaho)
Beautiful filming of a period piece. Weak direction, but the star and his female co-star have good chemistry.
A good piece of Germanic lore that isn't well know to the U.S., so worth seeing.
1/5
what a waste
by shaunthesheep
as a german, I apologize for this terrible adaption of the siegfried legend. ;-)
i am glad many of you liked it - maybe in english it is just not so hard to endure. but in the german version, i can just stand up and applaud when siegfried finally gets killed. he is so ridiculous!!! "hey! nich wein'n - hey! don't cry!"
there would have been so many better actors to impersonate siegfried. as long as its not till schweiger, everybody is better than benno fürmann. sorry! ;-)
Dark Kingdom - The Dragon King Summary
In The Tradition Of The Lord Of The Rings Comes A Brand New Epic Fantasy. A Fantasy-adventure Story Based On Nordic Myths Of The Ring Of The Nibelungs About The Son Of A Simple Swordsmith Who Repeatedly Saves His Country, Not Knowing That He Is Heir To A Throne.
Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King
is a visually impressive historical adventure based on the same Germanic and Norse legends that inspired Richard Wagner's
Ring Cycle
operas and J.R.R. Tolkien's
Lord of the Rings
. Produced for German television (and shot in South Africa), the film stars Benno Furmann as Siegfried, a prince whose family is slaughtered by a pair of evil kings; raised by a blacksmith (Max Von Sydow, still commanding as ever), he meets and falls for Valkyrie queen Brunhild (Kristanna Loken from
Terminator 3
) and slays the dragon Fafnir for King Gunther (Samuel West), which in turn, involves him in treachery, war, and separation from his beloved Brunhild. Well directed by Uli Edel (
Last Exit to Brooklyn>
,
The Mists of Avalon
),
Dark Kingdom
occasionally suffers from exceedingly purple dialogue, but the performances, action, and special effects combine to make for a rousing fantasy-drama. Originally broadcast at three hours in length, the DVD presentation here is the U.S. cut, which comes in at just over two hours; a battery of five making-of featurettes are included in the disc's supplemental features.
