Summary: this one is so cool,the dragon at the end is totally cool
Review: i was quite shocked that this is for sale alreadly,i thought that I would have to wait longer to see this,but I didnt have to wait that long the story is about a young stable master[masterson]who wants to be a knight,and he finds Dracos son,Drake,and he helps him to become a knight. the neatest part in this film is when the bad guy turns into a dragon,[since I love dragons]although he didnt have much of a part,but he was awesome anyway I loved the first movie alot,and this movie is one of my favorites now[this and the perfect storm of course] I highly recommend this film to anyone who is a true dragon fan or a true fan of dragonheart GO DRACO AND DRAKE! and the draco stars in the sky are neat,I sometimes see stars in that shape at night. and of course I believe in dragons also who doesnt?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Nothing Like DragonHeart
Review: I was so looking forward to this movie. What a disappointment. It was NOTHING like the first movie. I guess a good (great)act is hard to follow. If your looking for a good fantasy movie I recommend the origional Dragonheart or Excalubur. If your thinking about purchasing this movie PLEASE rent it first to see if you like it.

Summary: Dragonheartless
Review: I watched "Dragonheart" last night, and "Dragonheart: A New Beginning" this morning, so the original was still crisp in my mind when I forced my way through its sequel. I must say that it could have been worse (like in the case of The Neverending Story III, as compared to the original,) but it's still pretty darn bad! I read most of the other comments before deciding to write my own, and one thing I noticed that had yet to be mentioned was the script quality. I'm no great writer, but I can recognize bad writing! OK, so this movie was more geared towards kids, but Disney movies have better scripts than this! The lines that came out of Drake's mouth made me shudder... no dragon as majestic as Draco would have even considered uttering such dribble! Honestly, Drake talks (and at times even acts) like a second-grader... its such a disgrace. I'd only recommend this sequel to younger fans of the original who would be able to look beyond all the faults. Otherwise, just leave it to rot.

Summary: Not Dragonheart but still a good movie
Review: If you're looking for something like the first movie you're going to be disappointed. This is a completely different story aimed at families with children with simple morals about friendship and deception. On it's own it's a good family movie with some good action scenes. Rona Figueroa's martial arts were immensely entertaining to my family. The film's climax was a surprise.

Both of the film's protagonists were so naive that it had me squirming to watch them fall into the clutches of the evil and deceptive Osric.

The session Drake has with Kwan on learning to breathe fire is a hoot!

The costuming and sets were on a par with the original. I enjoyed seeing more of beautiful Slovakia.

There seemed to be some hinting around at the end that suggested there might be yet another movie in the offing. I am interested in what sort of story they might have in mind. I would like to see Drake with a better developed set of horns!

There are a couple of faults I find with this movie: I would have liked to have seen more of Drake and a longer fight scene at the end. The animation was not as fluid as the original Dragonheart. It wasn't awful either. I felt the story was a good one; a longer film would have fleshed it out more.

The original Dragonheart stands alone in its genre. I don't think another film will be made that is up to it's par.

I appreciate that the producers of A New Beginning did not try to duplicate the first movie; they went in a completly different direction and told a story that is family friendly and satisfying in it's own right.

Four stars for a solid family film.

Summary: Dragonheart sequel
Review: My sister and I loved the first dragonheart movie we just rented the sequel this weekend and REALLY liked it. The action was good and we're really glad Draco had a baby to carry on we HIGHLY recommend this to kids of any age who like dragons!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kind, Friendly and Enjoyable
Review: Sure this movie has some bad acting and low budget animation, but I don't care about that. The plot was very good, it was touching, and the end was very pleasing. The only thing that bugs me is that it hardly seems like it's a sequal to the original, because the draogn is young and doesn't have the wisdom of Draco from the original, but it is still good. The movie is probably meant for a younger audience, but I think people of all ages would enjoy this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good entertainment if not much else
Review: The first Dragonheart was fantastic in my eyes (don't believe me? Read my review). This one wasn't as good, but it wasn't horrible. It didn't (stink). Those things are not true. It just wasn't as good as the first. As you've read in other reviews, this story is about a stableboy who wants to become a knight, and in the midst of his quest, stumbles on a dragon living in a dungeon (I think). They become friends, and I don't clearly remember the details of the rest. Oh well, someone here can tell you. I thought Drake was very cute, but truthfully I prefer the older dragons like Draco. If Draco had been around in this movie we could have had Draco and Drake arguing, and that could have been really funny. Compliments on the humor, mostly on Geoffrey's (Chris Masterson) part. All in all, this was a good film, especially for younger kids, and I applaud the people behind the making of it (none of the names are instantly coming to mind). Go see this if you are on the young side, or didn't see the first one, or if you just like dragons and want something nice to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Still a good and enjoying movie!
Review: The second installment of the Dragonheart Saga is cleary aimed at a younger audience (although the first movie seems to be aimed for people between 12-30, too). Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed Dragonheart 2: A New Beginning, concerning the story, characters, CGI Effects (Drake still looks great altough Draco in the first part looked better :)) and especially the great and majestic Film Music, composed and arranged by newcomer Marc McKenzie (5 Stars for the Music,...). The only thing I found negative is that Drake the young Dragon doesn't really seem to be the main character of the story - he doesn't come up and show himself very much during the movie. And it would have been good to have watched Dragonheart 2: A New Beginning in the cinemas, and NOT on DVD/VHS only. All-in-all: 4 Stars for an enjoying, entertaining and warm-hearted movie!
