I Am Dragon (aka He's a Dragon) (2017)First and foremost, do note that this is a Russian movie.
If you goto youtube and watched the trailer, if you think they were trying to sell it more akin to Lord Of The Rings, and I would NOT fault you for that.
The Village and Dragon Lair is expensive and breathtaking (great production value)!
Cinematography,
Sergey Trofimov, did an amazing work, and this is a gorgeous movie.
The main cast, looks their part, and here is where the praises stop....
I blame the marketing.
They sold it as an action pack fantasy movie, and it is actually a love story.
This is how I would describe the the situation, If you crave Italian pizza and only Chinese food is available, no matter how good the Chinese food is, you are left disappointed....
If you crave a different style of love story with romantic elements, give this a go.
PQ and SQ pretty good, actually.
Do note that I watched the English dub, since my Russian is none existent.
My Two Sen
Hold up, they actually put "GOT meets Beauty & the Beast" onto the disc cover art?... That alone turns me off right there. Beauty and the Beast is far too simple a concept to even measure up to GOT and as such has no place there. We thank you for your sacrifice.. Will avoid.
Perhaps, watching it in its original Russian with English subs would have been better? I always prefer to watch my media in its original language as long as there are English subs. Voice overs tend not to convey the emotions etc the real actors put forth in the video.
