Synopsis

In an ancient time when majestic fire-breathers soared through the skies, a knight named Bowen comes face to face and heart to heart with the last dragon on Earth, Draco. Taking up arms to suppress a tyrant king, Bowen soon realizes his task will be harder than he'd imagined: If he kills the king, Draco will die as well.

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Anssi Vartiainen A noble knight (Dennis Quaid) is raising the prince of the realm, Einon (David Thewlis), trying to impress upon him the values needed to become a good king. He's in fact raising him to be the exact opposite of his brutish father. But then a tragic accident forces them to turn to a creature of legend for help. They must speak to Sean Connery. Well... a dragon voiced by him, but there's not much of a difference.DragonHeart suffers mainly from the passage of time. Its effect were actually quite decent for their day, even earning an Academy Award nomination. But nowadays you can almost see better graphics in mobile games. That's how badly they've aged. Not a pretty movie.The same goes for the plot. It's just so cheaply 90s, with a vague fantasy setting where people talk about the Old Ways, without ever really explaining them in detail, where dragons make jokes about their bad breath due to eating knights, where peasants are caked with mud and people clank around in armour even when it makes no sense for them to be wearing it. There's talk about good and evil in a very black and white manner. We even have the grumpy main character, who has become disillusioned with the world, but still has a good heart beneath his jaded exterior.In a word, DragonHeart is childish. It's not the worst movie ever, but neither does it have anything to offer beyond the trimmings of a cheap paperback fantasy novel. And even those are dogeared.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues I saw this movie in 1997 on TV,very compelling fantasy story but the special effects of first generation of graphic computer brings an update somewhat out of time,on Dragonlayer didn't have any graphic computer and the movie is most convincing Dragon...of course the new movies has used this new way and lose quality and credibility,it's happened with Dragonheart...although the movie is enjoyable!!! Resume:First watch: 1997 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6.5
James Eviat Ko Through those years I was finding for a film exploring the different ways of dragon, the masterpiece is still the only one I recommended to every people who wants to have a journey with a great dragon. The mixing of special effects in the film and voice from Sean Connery makes Draco vivid and vigorous. Magnificent background music in several scenes integrates into an orchestral epic in medieval age almost truly happened.It's marvelous that you can't believe it was made over 20 years ago. Of course, you should not miss it if you are dragon lovers.
Rainey Dawn If you are looking for a fun family fantasy adventure - that includes knights and dragons - then this film might suit your needs. It's a really cute film that has a heavy dose of comedy to go along with a fun but good story.It's about the last dragon and the last of the knights of the old ways (he keeps his word). Prince, Einon was almost killed when young, Bowen the knight had taught him quite a lot but he was severely wounded, dying. Bowen took the young prince to the dragon that gave him half of his heart to save him. When the prince awoke, he became quite different and ended up becoming king. The knight Bowen befriends the dragon after their fight over the prince's changes. Now they must stop this tyrant king but if he dies then the dragon dies.8/10
