Summary: Somewhat disappointing sequel
Review: The story, cast and characters of this sequel are very much up to the original, but the digital animation simply is not anywhere the equal of the first. Sadly, the new star digital character simply does not inspire the same awe as it does in the first.I enjoyed the first one so much, I had to have this one anyway.

Summary: Go with the original
Review: This movie could have been better. Or not . Anyway the movie does have it`s ups and downs . It`s ups 1# nice martial arts scenes 2# Cool plot twist everything comes together at the end. 3# Nice mythology. The Downs ( there are many) 1# No real explantion for Drake `s exsitits 2# Stableboy and dragon could have been done by other actors 3#You don`t see a true friendship between the boy and the dragon till much later in the movie. 4#Things are a bit sketching with the plot at frist. 5# Draco and bowen a not talked about very much. 6# when they are things sound really off. 7# Could have been longer 8# Can never live up to the original.

Summary: Just as good as the original
Review: This movie lived up every bit to the original Dragonheart. And I thought that the thematic continuity with the first movie was sufficient to consider it a true sequel (especially considering that none of the characters carried through to the second film). It's true, though, that "A New Beginning" is a different type of movie than the original, and may a appeal to a different audience. For one thing, the sequel is less violent (reflected in its PG rating, compared to PG-13 for the original.) For another thing, the original is a very straightforward tale of good against evil, wherein you know immediate who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. "A New Beginning", on the other hand, has a more complex plot and character development. On balance, they're both good movies that have a lot to offer. A sequel doesn't need to be a remake.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: This Movies was interesting. you don't really need to see the first one to enjoy it. Although there is some action i wished we could see the dragon, Drake, more often and that the Dragon battle at the end would last longer. Otherwise this movies was pretty good.

Summary: Dragonheart Returns... After a Fashion
Review: This straight-to-video sequel to the 1996 fantasy flick, Dragonheart, centers around a young stableboy named Geoff who has aspirations to become a knight, and Drake, the young dragon that he finds hidden in the basement of a local monestary. How could there be another dragon, one might wonder, since Draco from the original was supposed to be the last? Well, the opening tries to explain this by dismissing it as a miracle - which is probably one of the laziest possible explanations you might ever hear. As the audience, you're supposed to take it for granted. Speaking of the audience, A New Beginning is decidedly targeted more closely on children than adults - though there are sufficient swordfights, battle situations, and special effects to appeal to many fans of the original as well. Granted, children are going to get more from it than most adults, it's safe to assume, but there are some interesting plot twists (quite amazingly) that make it worthwhile to fantasy fans in general (those who aren't all that picky, I mean). The plot is not the most original or compelling, I hasten to add - it basically consists of a bad guy who wants Drake's heart - but the fact that anything unexpected takes place at all is a virtue here. And the climax is more fulfilling than it has a right to be. Don't expect the production values from the original, however. The CGI dragon from the original recalled the dinosaurs from Jurrassic Park with its nearly flawless animation and sense of being-there, but that was Draco, and this is Drake... Drake's animation and texturing is quite good, but hard to compare to the work done in the original Dragonheart. Drake is also considerably smaller than Draco, even though it certainly seems as if he's full grown. In design, though, he is Draco's identical twin. But it's not just the CGI that suffers from lower production costs. The sets and costumes and pretty much everything else has a decidedly more low-budget flavor. However, for a straight-to-video release, it's not all that unimpressive. It's just that being a sequel to Dragonheart openly invites comparions to the original, and the original was given the full Hollywood treatment with very few expenses spared. Yet, all in all, Dragonheart: A New Beginning is a nice little fantasy production (especially if you're a child) that might deserve a look.
