not really impressed, 10 October 2007
5/10
Author: djieses from Belgium

It's a good movie, I just expected so much much more because of all the media and stuff. I was not really impressed, there was some good acting involved, but indeed the character that plays Ben was too old to be Ben. And some things didn't feel right and didn't even fit in. But you should go and see for yourselves. I liked the idea though, a gamers world included in a movie, got us some beautiful images. You sure feel like you're about to start a game when you "enter" the movie. And Archlord has some great graphics, not the best, but it all looks very nice in this movie. Nothing like I've seen before in a movie! that caught my attention! So go on, and check it out.
