Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight product reviews

Dragons, magic, swordsÂ- what more could you want in a fantasy animated movie? Guess that depends on whether you-re a kid or an adult watching this. Although kids (including a few of the adult-sized ones, I-m guessing) would more than likely find it enthralling (my 8-year old son certainly didÂ- even after watching it several times so far!), it-s not the greatest by adult standards. Bearable, maybe even somewhat enjoyable, but certainly not great.
In my teens, I-d read many of the books co-authored by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman and rather enjoyed most of them, but, unfortunately, I-d never gotten round to reading the books they-d written that this movie is based on. However, I did at least enjoy the movie enough to now want to find the original book series and give them a go as I-ve found these days that, with movies based on books, the written version usually tends to be a lot more interesting.
The voice talents of Lucy Lawless and Keifer Sutherland were pretty easy to pick out, but not quite so easy to spot, was Michael Rosenbaum - aka 'Lex Luther- in Â"SmallvilleÂ". I-m kind of curious to see what the sequel would be like (my son-s already pestering me to get it if/when it comes out), but as sequels in general are usually not as good as the first movie of the series, I don-t hold out much hope for a decent continuation of this story.
