I enjoy the Mythica movies. They're not great but they're fine and there aren't a lot of options for those of us that like fantasy stories. If you thought the first one was watchable, then I'd say watch the whole series since they're all roughly the same quality IMO.

...in a good way. Not even sure that's a thing anymore, but those of you of an age, and geekish as myself, will know what I'm talking about.

The story moves along well and is surprisingly well written. Acting is well done by the relatively unknown cast. If you are a fan of Sorbo, besides being in the promo photos, his role is minimal(as in maybe 3 min screen time). Plot, well I'm not giving anything away telling you this is a fantasy quest movie, heck its in the title.

Direction is well done.

CGI is...ah...well...there is some CGI. Considering the extremely low crowd-funded budget it wasn't terrible. Costumes and creatures weren't bad.

Overall, not a bad way to spend a couple hours and worth a binge watch of the whole series if you have Amazon Prime.

Was expecting more from this movie, as it did look interesting and with the right execution it could have been a fun film. In the end it wasn't bad but also not good, rather a mediocre movie with some things to make it watchable.

Melanie Stone does give a great performance as the most interesting and well-rounded character of the movie., though most of the characters while stereotypical were likable and engaging. The special effects are above average, looking rightly proportioned , don't look too cartoony and actually looking complete, the ogre is pretty intimidating. The music score is very grand and rousingly and nicely orchestrated, fitting nicely within the movie, the theme song is pretty catchy. The costumes are very nicely done and give a real sense of fantasy adventure.

For all those good things though, there were a lot of ways in which Mythica: A Quest for Heroes was lacking. The scenery can be drab, and photography is unfocused with erratic shots and fuzzy picture quality. The sound sounds very dull, and tends to favour the music, making its grandeur occasionally rather too grand, drowning out the dialogue. Not that the dialogue was anything to write about, it does sound rather trite and stilted with some awkward humour. The story does lack excitement, suspense and fun, it's all a bit predictable and bland, while the action is undermined by unexciting and too safe choreography, confused and sloppy editing and a lack of interaction between the human characters and the creatures.

The direction does show occasional inspiration but is mostly flat and the acting is at times stiff, especially from Nicola Posener. Kevin Sorbo's screen time is very limited (only five minutes) and he has next to nothing to do in this time, he can be entertaining but he goes through the motions here. Overall, not bad, not good; a mediocre quest with its moments. 5/10 Bethany Cox
