Bitter Captain Ahab obsessively takes his crew in pursuit of the monstrous ceature which has dogged his life.Melville's Moby Dick is here adapted into a land-based pursuit of a dragon rather than a whale, with the characters retaining their names from the novel.This is a really good idea. Unfortunately, it is executed really badly. The script is poor, the peformances aren't great (Danny Glover is in scenery-chewing mode), and the production values - good on first impressions - don't bear close examination. The Pequod, for instance, is clarly far bigger inside than outside.Nice try, but fail.

AGE OF THE DRAGONS is a cheap fantasy rework of Melville's MOBY DICK, with Danny Glover taking on the role of the crazed Captain Ahab, determined to hunt down and kill the dragon responsible for burning him as a child. Most of the character names are the same as those of the novel, but the plotting is a no-rent succession of lame actors chewing their way through horrid dialogue while a CGI dragon flies around occasionally.Yes, this is bargain basement stuff, along the lines of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS sequels or IN THE NAME OF THE KING films. It's short in a boring, murky way, and Glover is doubled for half his scenes. In those bits where the actor really is on set, he chews his lines horrifically and seems to vie with guest star Vinnie Jones in who can give the jokiest performance. Still, even they're better than the wooden younger cast, and they in turn outdo the appallingly cheap CGI dragon effects. This is a waste of time through and through.

Well Age Of the Dragon is the worst Hollywood movie i have ever seen. If you offer me 100 dollars to watch this movie again, i'l still hold myself back. I generally don't write reviews but after watching this movie i am so much disappointed that i am desperate to warn others. Beware its too horrible to watch. as the movie progresses your desire to kill the director( and not the dragon ) increases manifolds. good Luck and stay alive till the movie ends. I strictly warn heart patients against it. Is that enough or should i open up my frustrated brain that will look worse than captains scars? OK , I know now you are eager to know what's in the movie that shook me so much.Well, go ahead and watch it (why should i be the lone sufferer of destiny).

catered only 10 minutes watching this "movie" to realize that they had completely tainted the novel Moby Dick. Oh God, Mr. Melville must kick in his grave every time this "movie" is projected or seen or even mentioned. It is truly remarkable that Hollywood screenwriters, are empty minded completely out of ideas, and every day the only thing that matters is to put one or two fairly known actors, some cgi some muscular guy and a hot girl in a "movie" to assure the investment. The era of smart movies with meaning, with a moral lesson has ended, I am 42 years old, and I must say that my generation was the last which saw a movie with sense.
