Analysis

The Legend Of The Five is a suitable film for the kids not for the adults. The main problem of the film was its cast. All the actors mainly the lead actors have delivered terrible performances. Leigh Joel Scott, who played Owen Clarke's character looked as a 30 years old boy. Even the accent of the main cast is problematic. Their Austrian accent was too obvious. Although the writing was terrible, it had the potential to do better. The film’s execution was neutral as it was a low budget movie. The film did better than most of the low-budget movies.

However, the storyline was inconsistent. The execution made it even worse. The concept of writing such a fantasy movie is good but if writers paid more attention it would become a good movie. The film is not at all authentic. Every scene is unrealistic, which makes it very hard to visualize. The production put the writer‘s effort in vain. The script is very dull. Moreover, the pace of the film is problematic. It is instead a slow movie. The screenplay is not the worst part of the movie. The film has terrible cinematography.
