Encantadia (2005)

Not Much of LOTR

Heck yes, this is a LOTR-inspired series, but unfortunately lacks substance. Although we realize it can be compared to other fantasy series abroad; however, this definitely needs more refreshing-too much emotion going on, nothing relevant. Most of the characters try to fit in to the story, but a lot of viewers end up hating them and so, without further much arguing, director's major note-For disappointment is the result, to kill is to resolve! DIE, DIE, DIE!!! -Giving the director the urge of sadistic, yet senseless slaughter. Oh well, pain is pleasure.

The love story is well, the major spoiler-totally out of place. Like you've just watched the same scene all over again. Yes, you got the word-CORNY! So much fun to watch them irritatingly-i could die happy! So, if this goes into the story, remind your mother or whoever is with you to wake you up after they're done.

Fighting scenes are laughable. The opponent waits until you're done with the other so for him(the opponent) to start attack you. It's like playing a game versus the Computer, and mind you, they're not computers, they're REAL HUMANS. Too hard to tell the difference, right?

Special Effects, however, are fluid, and of course very believable. The costumes are so LOTR-like. If you ever see Cassiopea from this series, you would see its greatest resemblance to Arwen from LOTR, and Hagorn isn't like Sauron-just saying.

So, overall, its all a fifty-fifty rating. I could recommend you to watch this series- not that it's all, but a bad thing ER-maybe a little bit; however, if this goes into a movie, i expect better from the crew.
