Summary: A fantasy adventure for the whole family
Review: Bowen (Dennis Quaid) is the last knight who lives by the old code. He is the mentor to Prince Einon (David Thewlis). Bowen teaches the prince of the code and how when his turn comes to rule he should be just and merciful unlike the king. When Einon is mortally wounded and the king is killed the queen begs a dragon for his help. The dragon gives the prince half of his heart and saves Einon's life. Once Einon recovers he begins to change and is even more corrupt and villainous to his people then his father was. Bowen blames the dragon for changing Einon and swears to hunt down every last dragon.The film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. The transfer is beautiful and I can find no real complaints about the picture. The sound is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and is a great track. The bass on this track will rock the windows. Your surround speakers will also get plenty of use. The disk contains a commentary by director Rob Cohen and several trailers and TV spots. There is also a great documentary titled "The Making of Dragonheart". The documentary is excellent and takes you from the beginning to the end of the production of the film. This is a great fantasy film. There is plenty of comedy, romance and action. Although they may seem outdated today, the special effects for its time were groundbreaking. I remember my jaw hitting the floor the first time I saw Draco. The film was well cast with Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Dina Meyer and Pete Postlethwaite. And who can forget the commanding voice of Sean Connery as Draco. This is a film your whole family can enjoy. Making only 51 million dollars at the American box office, this film had to be considered a financial disappointment. Since its theatrical release it has spawned a huge following on video and DVD. Give it a try I am sure you will enjoy it.

Summary: Wonderful Fantacy
Review: This was a great movie. I saw it a few years ago and have been looking for it ever since. I think this was one of the best movies ever made about dragons and I hope to see DRAGONHEART-NEW BEGINING. As I said before, wonderful movie, and I hope to see it again.

Summary: An Excellent Story
Review: If you're a Dragon lover, you'll love this movie. Good for the whole family. An excellent story of a Dragon slayer who befriends that which he is trying to get rid of, a Dragon. The Dragon, Draco, and Bowen, come up with a scheme to make money. But, there is fear in Bowen's heart when he discovers that his Dragon friend is sharing half his heart with the power hungry King. The Dragon design is awesome. If there was ever any speculation as to what a Dragon looks like, this movie ended it. This is my favorite movie ever. Visit... for more info on Dragons!!

Summary: Excellent movie, but get the Dolby Digital Version instead
Review: If you are interested in this movie, buy the Collector's edition with Dolby Digital instead of this one as this DTS version offer nothing in special features and the sound is not much better than the Dolby Digital Version. And the most annoying part is when you put the disc inside your player, you are given an option to chose between DTS and Dolby Surround but you don't know which one is which as they just shift color when you chose and if you got it wrong, there is no way to get back to the option page, you have to stop the disc and open the drawer and insert the disc again. It is a pain. The movie itself is excellent about a Dragon who gave half of his heart in order to save a dying prince. The prince turned out to be an evil king and it is up to a knight (Dennis Quaid) and the dragon (voiced by Sean Connery) to save the people. The special effect is great and the acting is good. David Thewlis is very good as the evil king. The picture quality is fine and the DTS sound is good but not much better than the feature loaded Dolby Digital version. Just go ahead skip the DTS version and get the collector's edition. They are the same price.

Summary: Dragonheart Collectors Edition Review
Review: This movie is fantastic. How many action movies does one come across that have heart? Well this one has heart and it also has Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery. The visual effects of the Dragon are done by Industrial Light and Magic and are convincing. I like movies that inspire you to be a better, more heroic person. This movie has Dennis Quaid playing Bowen a knight with virtue who follows the old code. He is a mentor to Einon, the son of a treacherous king. The only reason Bowen agrees to be his mentor is so that he can train him in the old code, where a knight defends the weak and whose fury destroys evil, in the hope that Einon will be a fair king. In the course of the film, Einon's father is killed in a peasant uprising and Einon gets thrown onto a sharp object that goes through his heart. Einon is on the verge of death, but his mother (played by Julie Christy) knows that a dragon can save him. She takes him to a dragon who gives Einon half his heart if he promises to let go of his fathers tyrannical ways. Einon promises and is saved. Soon after that Einon takes over as king and is as treacherous as his father. Bowen believes it's the dragons heart that has bewitched Einon and swears the he will hunt and kill every dragon that exists. Bowen looses his faith in the old code and through the film, events unfold that help him regain his faith. He also finds out that it was not the dragon's heart that corrupted Einon, but that Einon was already corrupt and the dragon had nothing to do with it. He later allies himself with the dragon and forms a peasant army to fight Einon. The sound and picture quality on this disc are amazing. There is a scene where Draco the dragon is flying around Bowen. You can actually feel the sound of the dragon's wings flapping and moving across the room. The picture quality is awesome too. Universal Studios has done a great job quality wise. Extras on the disc are the teaser trailer, the theatrical trailer, director Rob Cohen's commentary through the movie, the making of the movie which is fantastic. You get to see what it takes to make a movie like this. It has footage of Rob Cohen and the ILM team discussing the special effects with each other via a satellite link while they are in different countries. Rob Cohen actually studied all the close up shots of Sean Connery in all of Sean's movies of the last forty years for the expressions of Draco. I have read other reviews that say this movie is for children. I disagree, with all the graphic depiction of blood, one is better keeping the children away from it. This movie is a MUST BUY. This is one movie that a serious DVD collector should not be without.

Summary: David....I loved it
Review: The Movie was very Good.Dennis Quaid did an exelent Job(much beter then in the parent trap!)
The first time I saw this movie I was fascinated with the special effects. Though, I have to comment the movie, as one other said,is very violent in some battle scenes. I really liked this movie because I am fascinated with the Middle Ages and dragons. Giving the dragon a voice really made the movie come to life. Also, the fight between good and evil throughout the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. This was definitely one of my most favorite movies!

Summary: This Movie is Shockingly Bad
Review: Also, it is horribly overrated. This is not a good movie. It is boring to no end. All the poor villagers who we are supposed to care about so much stink up the screen whenever possible and look like rejects from the Xena set. Like Kevin Costner before him in Robin Hood, Dennis Quaid sports an American accent. Horribly distracting from the very first scene. Especially since every other person is clearly British! Oh, except for the excrutiating talentless Redhead they paired him up with. She also was incapable of faking an accent. Connery as the voice of the dragon... Snore. So what? The dragon is so stupid. He acts exactly like a really noble human and is obsessed with King Arthur. Great. Somehow, the director, Rob Cohen, managed to make pure fantasy unbelievable. The movie is clearly aimed at fifteen year old boys. The mentality is brutaly low. At the end, when Quaid has to kill the dragon, his only friend, in order to kill the evil king (Yawn.) I was ecstatic because I knew the movie would soon end. Don't rent or buy or watch this movie.

Summary: Take the PG-13 rating seriously!
Review: This movie has a lot of good things to offer, and I won't repeat the other reviewers here. What I would like to add to the mix, however, is to emphasize that this movie is pretty violent, and is NOT for younger audiences. It's chock-full of realistic killing, up-close and personal. PG-13 is probably the right rating - barely; it borders on earning an R, in my opinion. While it still gets high marks for quality, don't let the fact that it's a fairy tale fool you into thinking it's a kids' film.
