I tried to watch it. I couldn't do it though. I hated all of the
characters and wanted all of them to die.
And that was within the first 30 seconds. Ugh.
This was incredibly and needlessly complicated, with all sorts of odd
backstory they kept dribbling out. Was this based on something, or
was it original for TV?
And what was with JAG slipping in and out of that weird mutant
Highlander accent?
I wasn't expecting much - just a couple of hours of light fantasy
entertainment. I gave up somewhere in the first hour, and I was
trying very hard to be patient and hope for it to improve. It is
hard to believe that people could make something this bad and then
let it escape onto a network.
Not watching it...

Thank Bonnie Hammer(ed) and her happy meth-addict crew. I'm
sure they thought it completely entertaining.
Let me see... We had the 'Orcs', we had 'Elves', we had a version of
'Sauron'... Then we had poor David James Elliott (the JAG guy), who
is still handsome, but when even hubby comments on "what accent is
that?"... It was very, very bad. We watched a grand total of 3
minutes (waiting for things to end or something else to start
<smile>).
Horrible, awful, there are other negative adjectives, but they are not
for a public forum.

I don't really understand how this shit happens. Is the same production
company responsible for all the original Sci-Fi movies? I don't
understand how they make it to the screen. A pack of monkeys with
typewriters and cameras could do a better job than most of these things.
The Center of the Earth thing might have been the single worst effort
I've ever seen, anywhere. I'm sure there would be a solid market for
good b movies, but this stuff is so awful, I'd rather watch two straight
hours of that fish singing 'Gimme back that fillet o fish, give me that
fish! Ooooo!'
Really.
: Really.
A pack of monkeys can usually write better than Sam Egan!
You know, I had just about gotten that fillet o fish commercial out of my
head! ("What if it was you hanging up on this wall? If it was you in that
sandwich, you wouldn't be happy at all!)

And I've still got the second half to suffer through. :\

Veni, vidi, snarki.
Its all Peachy's fault!
Why would you watch it? I couldn't even find fun in the badness of
it. That's the sad thing. There was *nothing* redeeming about it.
You could laugh at the bad makeup, you could laugh at the horrid
accents, you could laugh at what passed for a script, but it isn't
fun. But that would be like laughing at a Special Olympian because
they aren't like other athletes.
You can tell that the actors didn't think it was much fun either.
Sometimes, just watching an actor getting a kick out of his work is
worth a bad film.
I watched the first half and haven't started the second, as well. Let
me know if it gets better in the second half.
Yep :(

Mostly I was looking at technical stuff, like "the dragons themselves
aren't bad, they just look stupid because of the way the background
plates were shot wrong" -- been there, done that.
you first
Yes, yes you did volunteer. What did you think "suggesting it" was? :-P
