BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
grisharkramer I must preface this review by saying I love trash. When I saw that the fourth Dragonheart movie was on Netflix I couldn't have been more thrilled. I was astonished when I saw the opening sequence, and could not believe how genuinely I was enjoying the directors touch. I usually watch this sort of thing to enjoy the flaws, and luckily soon after the credits it really starts to deliver on that front. The acting is actually fine, but the script delivers some genuinely terrible lines, most notably "A man's smell is his soul." There's a beautiful "Hey you are the King do some charming King stuff" montage. Patrick Stewart uses all his acting power to convey to the audience that he didn't want to be in a sound booth that day and that he has genuine disdain like the script, and also that he's reading it in the sound booth for the first and last time.The director and the costume designer are wonderful and deserve to work again with way more money. As far as whoever "wrote" the screenplay, thanks for all the chuckles.The CGI looks real bad.In closing: Directing 10/10 Costumes 10/10 Cinematography 10/10 Acting 9/10 (Except Patrick Stewart who is purposefully awful) Script 1/10 CGI 1/10 Stunt Choreography 7/10So it's a real mixed bag. If you love trash, it's beautifully shot and competently acted and everything else is hot garbage.
spacerogue Fun family Bmovie flick that's going to suffer from a few various trends -the hatred for Dragonheart sequels. -the current anti-PC culture that starts screeching about their hatred for feminism when a woman shows any sign of strength.All by all unwarranted negatives, this movie was surprisingly entertaining and well made. If you like medieval stories with dragons that aren't into burning humanity to the ground, it's certainly worth checking it out. And no, for the love of it, you do NOT need to see Dragonheart 3 to understand what's going on. In fact, if you have seen DH1 then I suggest skipping 2 and 3 entirely and go straight to 4.
davemfawcett Big fan of the first movie and went into this movie with no expectations having never heard of it. The Good; the CGI was respectable, the acting was god, Patrick Stewart is always a win; and root story was decent and had one decent plot twist. The Bad; it felt like the movie was in slow motion in the story telling much of the time. On one hand they needed to spend more time with the development of the early story, but the mid story dragged. The Ugly, too many plot holes and things the director and writers did to just move the story on without explanation. The Other, had they pursued more of the angle with (Slight Spoiler) the female lead character emboldening the women and wanting to be a good queen, I believe they could have made a much more rewarding ending. The ending, as is, was just ho-hum so what; predictable, leaving many questions from the final battle unanswered.
Jb Hiller This movie was very touching. It was more character driven then your average Dragon Fantasy. You feel for these characters.A few quibbles: the revisionist Feminism did not make sense. There was a lot of Game of Thrones. Especially the Brother-Sister "close" relationship. Some of the supporting characters were throw away.On the other hand, for a low budget movie the special effects were pretty good. Patrick Stewart is a worthy successor to Sean Connery.All in all I enjoyed this movie.
