Summary: Dragonheart a flying fire breathing adventure!!
Review: Dragonheart is a great film about honor, betrayal, and love. Draco is totally as real as it gets. He looks, talks, flys, and walks totally realisticly. The story is a great story about the last dragon and the last dragon slayer teaming up to scam all of the town. Eventually they lead a rebelion on an evil king. The ending was very sad try not crying. The picture quality was almst perfect. It is in 2.35.1 anamorphic widescreen. The sound was OK I guess. Great supplements. The making of documentary has chapter selection. The outtakes are actually two deleted scenes. Good audio Commentary by the film makers. Buy Dragonheart it will make you believe.

Summary: Heartfelt and inspired
Review: Let me just get one thing out of the way before I start my review: DRAGONHEART IS NOT A TYPICAL FANTASY MOVIE. It is not meant to be like that. It also does not portray dragons in a bad way. Good. Now that I've made my point, I want to say that Dragonheart is a great movie. I must have been 9 or 10 when I first saw it, and I was entranced, but for some reason it practically all faded from my memory. In fact, over time I began to actually think that I'd dreamed it (I have the strangest dreams of anyone I know). All I could remember was the end. So one day at school (I was 13 by now) I went on the computer and looked up "Dragonheart", knowing that if it was on there it was real. I saw it later on, and it is one of my favorite movies as a die-hard fantasy/adventure/dragon lover. I can't get enough of it, and though I (oddly) don't own the movie yet, I plan to in the near future. As I am also an avid music fan who can come up with "soundtracks" for various things/events, including the books I read, I was very happy with the soundtrack. I love midieval soundtracks. The acting was all fantastic... oh why am I still here, the long and short of it is GO SEE IT!!!!

Summary: Dragonheart - "Witness the wonders of an ancient glory"
Review: Dragonheart is an excellent movie for anyone, especially those who enjoy fantasy or medieval stories. Draco, the dragon star, is a well thought out character who has his humorous moments along with his many serious ones. The movie does have a twist of humor in some scenes, but is mostly a hard, action-packed epic. I would recommend this movie to anyone. The graphics are excellent, and it makes you feel as though you could reach out and touch Draco. There was no doubt in my mind while watching this movie that Draco was real.

Summary: "A knight is sworn to valor, his heart know only virtue."
Review: I guess it helps if you place the review under the right movie. Somehow I posted this review under the other Dragonheart Movie, A New Beginning.Dragonheart is one of my favorite movies, up there with The Last Unicorn. The music is good, the actors are fantastic, and the storyline actually has some thought to it. Dennis Quaid is great as Bowen, the knight turned dragon slayer. He looks the part as well as acting thepart of a dragon slayer bound by the old code, who is trying to rid the world of dragons so the evil in his protégé, King Einon, will be defeated. Sean Connery is great as the voice of Draco. According to the 'making of Dragonheart' feature on the DVD, the director had only Connery in mind for the voice, and spent 13 months trying to get the dragon to have facial and body actions that patterned Connery. I don't know if it's because Connery is so well known, or if it's because he can project life into Draco, but the dragon has a personality, and you can relate to it's sadness and fear throughout the movie. Pete Postlethwaite is good as the monk/historian/bad poet. He gives a bit of comic relief to the movie,especially in the later fighting scenes. His inability to remember his own poetry is also funny. Dina Meyer portrays the peasant Kara as a strong young woman who's willing to do almost anything todefeat King Einon and avenge the death of her father. David Thewlis is an awesome bad guy. He's not a physically powerful man, but his brain makes up for his lack of brawn. Plus, he's creepy, which adds to the bad guy image. His heartlessness as King Einon and the fact he's causing a dragon to lose his soul makes you want to hate him throughout the movie. The music is absolutely beautiful; Randy Edelman really created some wonderful music. A lot of people who haven't seen the movie might recognize the music, as it was used in the Trailer for Mulan and a few other movies. I really love this movie, and I'm not sure if it's the music, the cast, or the fact that the story isn't a carbon copy of a lot of the dragon or knight movies out there, but there's something about Dragonheart that makes me watch it from time to time, and enjoy it each time.

Summary: OMG ( Oh, my gosh)
Review: This is a great movie, you should see it. If you enjoy fantasy and are looking for a movie that doesn't suck in the fantasy section, you should see this. It is about a dragonslayer and dragon who team up and become the best of friends and try to end the reign of King Einon. The dragon called Draco gave this king half his heart years ago thus the title Dragonheart. Well, anyways, the dragon made him promise to honor the "old code" and because Einon (that rotten sucker) didn't he holds a grudge and the dragonslayer by the way used to be the Einon's teacher. I can't tell you anymore but to watch this movie and also see Steven King's It.

Summary: Fabulous Film
Review: I LOVE this movie! but I do not love it because it is a fantasy film. I love it because it is the first feature film to portray the dragon race in a positive light. I also love it because I, along with many many others, believe myself to have the soul of a dragon. And as a Dragon, this film appeals to me and it's one of my all-time favorites. It's a wonderful portrayl of a noble species and the relationship between them and humans. Sadly that once harmonious existence decayed rather rapidly and Dragons (as indicated at the end of the film) retreated fully from the corporeal realm. But, spirituality aside this is a fun-filled rollicking adventure of a movie and a wonderful study of relationships between creatures of our earth. Overcoming personal differences and personal spite is truly a fantastic goal. Let's face, it you ahve a human and a dragon. Definitely a pair as far different from each other as one could imagine. But friendship prevails and the film ends on a moment that is both tragic, enlightening and uplifting. Indeed, hope survives forever. End

Summary: So-so story, astounding effects
Review: As a lot of other people have said before me, Dragonheart doesn't try to be the greatest fantasy movie ever made, it just tries to be enjoyable. And it succeeds. The story is set at an indeterminate time in the Middle Ages, and focuses on the exploits of a knight named Bowen (Dennis Quaid) and a dragon named Draco (Sean Connery, unmistakable even though it's just his voice coming out of CGI). The story starts out rather decently, really hits its stride in the middle, and then starts to come apart into silliness during the last act. The very end, though, is a real tear-jerker, and makes up for most of the film's weaker moments. The actors turn in decent performances, but the real reason to see this movie is to see the dragon. Draco is one of the most inspired CGI images ever put to the screen, and is realized nearly flawlessly with some truly ground-breaking CGI. Even this, however, would be a waste if not for the perfect casting decision to have Sean Connery voice the creature. Overall, if you can stand fantasy movies or like Connery, you'll probably enjoy this movie. If you're one of those uptight blowhards who insist that movies be as boring as real life, avoid it and leave it to those who appreciate it.

Summary: Friend or Foe?
Review: In Dragonheart, a knight is training a king's son, when the boy is injured, the two of them go to the Queen who instructs them to go to a dragon for help along with some others. The dragon does help, but the kid turns out to be as evil as his father. The knight vows to kill the dragon, though later teams up with him without even realizing it. This movie is full of heart, and is a must see. The great special effects made the dragons very realistic and lifelike. You may recognize the voice of the dragon as that of actor Sean Connery.

Summary: a really good movie
Review: Dragonheart was one of those movies I put off seeing because I didn't think I would like it. Finally I convinced myself to give it a try and I must say I quite enjoyed it. The story is complex but not confusing. The use of CGI effects for Draco are exceptionally good. The actors are well cast. I especially enjoyed Dina Meyers performance as Kara. She was a very good strong female character that many movies like this lack. All in all a great movie for any age and any person.

Summary: The best film ever made
Review: In my opinion this is the best film ever created. It is about the last of the dragonslayers, Bowen (Dennis Quaid). Bowen is the trainer of the young prince Einon (David Thewlis). But when Einon is hurt in battle, his mother takes him to the cave of Draco the Dragon (Sean Connery). Einon is near death, and Draco feels pity for him, so he gives him half his heart. From then on, they share each other's sufferings, and should one die they both die. When Einon returns home, he grows evil, just like his father. Bowen believes the dragon is the cause of this, and is terribly angry, for he cares greatly for Einon. He swears he will avenge Einon by destroying all the dragons. Some time into his quest, he meets Draco, though doesn't realize it is the same one that saved Einon. Bowen, over time, starts to like Draco, and decides not to destroy him. So they team up and begin a business of fake dragonslaying. The ending is thrilling and always brings tears to my eyes. I shall treasure this movie for the rest of my life. It is a picture of loneliness, friendship, and making terrible sacrifices. The combination of dragon and knightly lore and Sean Connery's wonderful acting brings out something special which generations of children should cherish for years to come. I am, and always will be, caught in its mesmerizing spell.
