In contrast to the first movie, this story is centered around less characters, which given them more screen time and room to interact and develop.Įven tho, Story-vise it isnt anything outstanding and it uses all the old movie/anime clishes, it realy doesnt loose its momentum, and throw you into the seat and wont let go, until the post credit scene, which leaves you with the funny smirk on the face.
Seccond movie made from the Dragon nest game environment realy hit the sweat spot of mine. Overall, I liked this a bit more than the first movie. It does this one annoying thing though, which is scenes where objects are hurled towards the screen in slow motion in manner that was obviously meant to showcase the techonology for 3D glasses, but it looks weird when watching the 2D version. The character designs also aren't bad, especially the protagonist's love interest being quite cute. The action scenes are fluid and not chaotic.
What I liked the most about this movie was the animation, but I am a fan of 3D CGI, so if you don't like it you'll most likely have a different experience watching it. Other than that, this is basically a typical "good guy protagonists vs plotting villain" animated feature. the drama as the finale is getting closer and with the conflict not adding anything to the value - in Dragon Nest: Throne of Elves it is the main theme that starts pretty early, so it barely gets a pass from me. But at least this time it's not done as just a cheap way to increase It includes one of the most overused and annoying tropes of allies getting into a fight/disagreement, usually over a misunderstanding that could be solved with actually explaining stuff to others. And at least it is not as much of a copypaste as it could be. The story is somewhat cliché, but that's only to be expected with movies like this. It's not great or original, but it's fine enough for things like family movie night. When taken into consideration that this is intended for younger audience, this movie certainly isn't bad.
