sean connery a great actor for the movie.

Sean Connery makes a great dragon. Aside from that, the acting was not bad at best.

The action in the movie was okay. I wouldn't call it fun, but definitely not boring either. But what I did like of it was the dragon causing destruction and fire.

But what I loved about the movie was the story. The story was very powerful and strong and I think almost anyone can relate to it.

So it's really just the story that makes this movie special, aside from that, it didn't have much going for it. But I liked it.

The story is substantial enough and the pacing of the dragon - dragon killer partnership makes the turnaround plausible. Good villain, sacrifice, fun, drama and moral tale. Another good film for parent/child joint enjoyment. The extras on the DVD enhance the appreciation.

It's been a while since I've watched it but I remember it being fun and filled to the bim with great cgi and fight scenes. A lot better than the sequel...

There are astonishment's to behold in "Dragonheart", one of major ones being the music, which is the key to this movie's success. The movie's music alone stands as a unique fusion of epic fantasy and heart-felt comedy that fully captures an energy and power that is filled with emotion - soaring melodies that are balanced in both magic and adventure. The score is utterly outstanding, one that will, I hope, be memorable for a long time to come.

The movie follows the two main heros Bowen, the last real dragon slayer, and Draco, the last dragon, as they set off on their quest to defeat the evil King Einon who rules the land. All of the actors do an excellent job in portraying their roles perfectly; David Thewlis makes a marvelous malicious villain, Dina Meyer makes a splendid heroine, and although he isn't precisly hero material, Dennis Quaid can be a great knight when given the chance.

"Dragonheart" is a magnificent entertainment for all ages. The kids with love it for the action and the special effects, and the older audience will love the neat characters, entertaining story, and relish the very special feel the film holds... reminding us what it feels like to be a kid again, go on an adventure, and have fun.

"Dragonheart" has plenty to offer to anyone willing to watch. It's like the flowing of all wonderful magical opportunities and twists and turns. And in this movie, computers are used not only to create special effects, but also to stun and amaze us in showing us epic fantasy magic and style, to find a look for the film that fits its story. The dragon in this film in terms of effects is, to put it short and simply, visually stunning. However, the dragon along with the other characters are not simply cardboard cut-out heroes or villains seen in a bland outline, but quirky individuals with unique and complex personalities, holding onto their own ambitions and dreams and desires, and some even become memorable long after you've seen the film.

"Dragonheart" is a surprisingly involving and rather beautiful movie - one that will appeal openly to any age of audience, and it also crosses over to the people who have no plans to see "Dragonheart" but will change their minds the more they hear. I think the film even holds a message, that you should always do what you need to in order to save the people you care about, even if it means having to make a sacrifice of our own. It also teaches us other important lessens of friendship, honor, trust, and truth. "Dragonheart" is one of my favorite films, and will always be seen as a classic in my eyes. This is a film that holds a lot of magic and has a lot of heart. It is a film that really will make you believe, if you give it the chance. - Erika N.

Kind of stupid, but it was okay.

Expected this movie to be stupid. It turned out to be awesome! One of my favorites.

Been one of my favorite movies since I was 12 when I saw it in theaters a good six times.

I was never a big man for fantasy, but this is one of the few movies that actually felt right. With a great plot and casting, this film was something close to perfection. Yet, I find to no surprise that the sequel is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

I am a man who is willing to admit when he wrong. Just yesterday I posted a review of 28 Days Later. I discovered it on Fancast.com and theorized that no good or even half decent movies could be found on this site for free. Well I am really munching on crow now. I found a movie that was not only enjoyable is was all together fun as well.

The plot is fairly simple; a lone crusader has a personal vendetta to rid the world (or at least his part of it.) of any and all dragons. This becomes his particular mission when one cuts him to the quick. The only catch is there is really only one dragon left. I think we both know what's coming next this particular dragon is the lone cause of his crusade. So what happens when thus said dragon spouts anthropomorphic tendencies and they (the knight and the dragon) actually becomes friends? Well you'll have to check this movie out to divulge that truth. I'm not telling.

What I will tell you however is how much I enjoyed this cinematic feature. I was enticed to the full. It was heartwarming, entertaining and all together a pleasure to inhale. Inhale I did fire breathing vermin and all. I took it all in the whole nine yards and I walked away a happier reviewer.

The cinematography was jaw dropping. The score was magnificent and the outspoken little read head filled out the part of main love interest for our aforementioned rouge valiant quite well. Talk about a matchstick, this little spartan was full of vigor and vitality. She set the screen ablaze with her own style of fire breathing and won our hero's heart armor and all. I salute Dina Meyer for playing the part of Kara to utmost perfection. She was a sight for this lonely bachelor eyes and worthy of praise oh so early on a Sunday morning.


The writing was good too. It was a different type of buddy cop movie based in the days before cops and movies as well. There have always been buddies though and this friendship was one for the ages. I give this 103 minute adventure my highest praise with a grade of An "A".
