GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

westsideschl Why don't female dragons have female voices (will one did, "Eragon"), but all the rest that happen to have human vocal cords seem to sound like Sean Connery. Leaving aside total animation films, those with joint human/reptile billing seem to not be able to decide if dragons are nasty or puppy dog nice (at least to the right person). Bad list - Potter, Dragonslayers, Hobbit, Reign. Nice list - How to Train, Neverending, Dragonhearts, Game. Westerners think they flew about in the, ball park, middle ages. Easterners place them at least 4000 BCE when the Earth was a cube. Ahhh, the fun begins when superstition and religion encounter dinosaur fossils - what imaginations. Well, this film's particular dragon actor had great CGI which was easy to accomplish since the computer graphics code was already written and the dragon look already established in many films dating back to the '80s. The storyline was "Game of Thrones" borrowing (haha, stating it tamely) with wall, tribes, eggs and general overall feel. Creative storytelling, dialogue and acting would get a barely passing grade from a middle school film critiquing class.

kosmasp I reckon our voice choice for the Dragon still had a contract to come back for a low budget movie. Or Sir Ben Kingsley does love Fantasy that much he did it for fun (I don't think the money was that intriguing, that it could've been the reason). Whatever the case, you get a great voice to a - let's say decently made CGI Dragon (that's taking into account that this is not big budget mind you).Apart from OK CGI (if you lower your expectations), the story is pretty decent too. You've seen it before of course and the story of our hero in despair will not surprise you that much. Hairstyles and other things aside, that might not be accurate (but look cool I guess), this can be fun at times.

shamrock_d Yes, probably nothing will compare to the first Dragonheart but this was a good attempt and, in most part, stayed true to the spirit and theme of the original.A few things could have made this sequel even better - better development of the relationship between Gareth and Drago, use of the original name "Draco" (or was there some copyright issue?) and a more convincing performance from Gareth awakening to the Old Code.It was great, though, that the original theme music was kept because for us who "grew up" with Dragonheart (though I'm over 65), the music speaks of the valor and virtue of the spirit of knighthood in Dragonheart.I would have liked to see the return of Draco with memories of the past (perhaps, again, copyright issues?) that plays into the plot. I was rather disappointed to see the new Drago as completely new and there was no explanation why he landed on the earth as a shooting star with dragon eggs to boot. I guess it boils down to dragon's having to be born on this earth and not in the stars.I was also disappointed that the new Drago could not speak until he gave away half his heart to Gareth. I was expecting (and hoping) to hear a voice closely resembling that of Sean Connery to come out from Drago. When he did speak, I was a bit disappointed but mostly relieved. It was only at the end credits that I knew it was Ben Kingsley. I feel the script writers could have done a better job on Drago's part as the original Draco exhibited more wisdom as that of a dragon who had experienced and seen much over hundreds of years. Despite this, there were parts where Drago's words elicited the emotions and messages of old from the first Dragonheart.Overall, I enjoyed this sequel, especially the second half, where I sensed the script writers warmed up, so to say, and brought more and more of the magic of the first Dragonheart into play. The orchestral arrangement of the Dragonheart theme was wonderful in the final credits with the short scene at the end a nice touch. I liked, too, the detail put into Drago, though, at times (particularly at the beginning), he was a bit too evil-looking.Unlike, perhaps, some other viewers, the "death" of Draco in the first Dragonheart did not leave me sad. He only transmuted into a more elevated living presence among the stars. This sequel's ending left me wondering if the producers were entertaining a sequel. I'm hoping there is - mainly to preserve and pass on to younger generations the spirit and lessons of the heart (no pun intended) of Dragonheart.The problem with sequels is they are always compared with the original and also, too often with sequels, the writers try a completely different angle which only loses the magic of the first one. However, I can breathe a sigh of relief that the main story theme was kept here (as well as the characters in somewhat different guises).How can one preserve the Dragonheart theme if another sequel is to be made? The one thing to keep in mind is not to change Draco (or Drago) and neither the (eventual) hero. Settings and even the time-line can change but keep the theme of the triumph of honor, valor and virtue true and fast.How about a Dragonheart in the 21st century? This would really test the script writer as, I believe a lot of people will agree, the Old Code is pretty much lost in these times.So, can, and should, the Old Code live on in this digital age?

Zane Posthumus I had the first Dragonheart on video when I was young and I was crazy about the movie. Not just because of the cool Dragons, but the way how they made the relationship between human and Dragon seem so fun. You could experience everything with them and laugh at jokes. The effects for that time was amazing.This franchise has the most amazing Soundtrack of all time. In the first two movies they made the scene where the song played, and what the Actors did, seem so special. So I fell in love with the movies.But unfortunately not everything can be kept to a high standard and while I was watching the third movie last night, I was horrified by the poor standards of the scenes, the poor interaction between human and Dragon. Literally just ONE scene where there was a little humor. You almost never see the Dragon and the way he looked, compared to the previous films was terrible! They made him look more like a wild animal than a character with a purpose in the movie. It;s just humans humans humans. It's so obvious to see where scenes have been cut and pasted, scenes that didn't really have a impact on the film enjoyed the longest camera action.You guys had one job, you had two previous movies to help you make the movie better or at least keep the standard.I'm very disappointed with the effort and the low standard of this movie, you really ruined this franchise for me.I'll keep my faith in the first two great movies
