Having been playing fantasy roleplaying games since around 1986 and up to 2019, then of course with a movie such as "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is just something that has to be watched.

Turns out that this 2017 fantasy adventure movie was actually surprisingly entertaining and good. The movie had a very nice storyline, one that definitely had a very unique fantasy feel to it.

The characters in the movie were nicely detailed and fleshed out, and they had some nice actors and actresses to perform the various roles and characters. One thing though, which might be nitpicking, but the fact that the Norsemen didn't speak Norse was cringeworthy. Sure, for the sake of the audience, English is preferable, but it just takes away so much of the image of them being Norsemen when they speak English.

As for the special effects in "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire", well, let me just say that they had a rather impressive array of special effects. The dragon looks very nice, realistic (as realistic as dragons can be, duh!) and the CGI was working so well in favor of the movie.

"Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is definitely a nice movie, especially if you enjoy the fantasy genre. It is not a movie that you need to have watched all the previous "Dragonheart" movies to understand, so it functions well as a stand-alone movie, but also as an addition to the "Dragonheart" franchise.

Absolute sludge. This movie though it does not deserve to be called as such, is an unrelenting war on the senses and intelligence of the viewer. The effects of the film are baffling in its own incompetence, with horrific CG dragons and hilariously bad fire being all over the place. If you had told me this movie had come out in 2017 i would've called you a liar. The plot is boring and predictable, the characters are frustratingly incompetent and the visuals being a balance between drab and really bad CG.

For a movie with low budget, it was pretty decent ! I rated this movie for it's standards. I really wish this saga to continue ! SHOW THEM THE MONEEEEYYYYY !!

This was not a good movie. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. 3 stars at the most. Much of the action was predictable and the story was all too similar to many others. It's time (past time) to retire this franchise.

The forth installment is a failure!

Fun family Bmovie flick that's going to suffer from a few various trends

-the hatred for Dragonheart sequels.

-the current anti-PC culture that starts screeching about their hatred for feminism when a woman shows any sign of strength.

All by all unwarranted negatives, this movie was surprisingly entertaining and well made. If you like medieval stories with dragons that aren't into burning humanity to the ground, it's certainly worth checking it out.

And no, for the love of it, you do NOT need to see Dragonheart 3 to understand what's going on. In fact, if you have seen DH1 then I suggest skipping 2 and 3 entirely and go straight to 4.

Ok so I went into this movie expecting it to be bad....really bad. The acting sucks and the dragon looks horrible. This is just another example of Hollywood trying to capitalize on something that was good. Based on the original movie can there even be a sequel? There is something about captain Picard voicing a dragon that I don't know.....DOESN'T WORK. Maybe I'm biased but I remember the original dragon was Sean Connery. That was a good voice. A dragon is old and should be wise so naturally the voice should be old as well. Seriously having Patrick Stewart voice a dragon is like Justin Bieber be the voice of Yoda. There really wasn't a hidden message, the feminist movement would be insulted by the weak story of the female lead the sibling rivalry story was pointless and unconvincing. Outside of that the movie is more of a boredom flick then anything else. Maybe someone should do a prequel sequel to justify this movie. Just kidding. Prequels suck.

This movie was very touching. It was more character driven then your average Dragon Fantasy. You feel for these characters.

A few quibbles: the revisionist Feminism did not make sense. There was a lot of Game of Thrones. Especially the Brother-Sister "close" relationship. Some of the supporting characters were throw away.

On the other hand, for a low budget movie the special effects were pretty good. Patrick Stewart is a worthy successor to Sean Connery.

All in all I enjoyed this movie.

Solid low budget film. The acting isn't too bad. The fight scenes are pretty good, cgi dragon very realistic. If you go in with reasonable expectations I think you can really enjoy the film.

An absolutely abysmal movie. I was angered by sheer frustration towards the dreadful dialogue and acting. The story was contrived and predictable and I spent the whole film wanting it to just end. Had I been in control of the remote, I would have simply switched it off and walked away without a second thought. The points given where only for the fact that it had a semi cool looking dragon. A disappointing use of patrick stewarts talents (although not entirely surprising that he signed up, given the current state of Picard!) Don't waste your time watching this absolute mess of a movie, there are so many better movies to be seen.

I really can't believe that I essentially a movie as bad as this one. I really am surprised that Patrick Stewart worked on this movi, even in voice. Almost fell asleep watching this.

Having watched all the Dragonheart movies so far, the ranking for me goes like this now: 1. Dragonheart 2. Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse 3. Dragonheart (4): Battle for the Heartfire 4. Dragonheart (2): A New Beginning 5. Dragonheart (5): Vengeance.

The CGI is fantastic in this movie and trumps the first even. (Alright it's fantastic by Dragonheart standards). I was genuinely surprised by how good the dragon and various spells and effects looked, heartfire and all. The dragon gets a lot of screen time in this movie too, which is very welcome.

This also means a lot of the budget went on said CGI. But I'm glad for that. The set pieces and costumes were also good, but scale was often a bit out, sometimes a town looks massive and there seem to be maybe 15 inhabitants in total. They should've used the CGI for extra people maybe.. -1 star

The story, at its core, is quite engaging. A tale of twins marked at birth, unbeknownst to the dragon they're bonded to.

The writing, on the other hand is very unpredictable in quality. It actually has very good moments, then suddenly just becomes below-average for a time, then peaks again. No joke, there are some good lines in this movie. But then the writers take a couple days off. -1 star

The dragon, Drago, is written well and Patrick Stewart's voice is just great. The second best dragon in the series I'd say. Now the writers did have trouble keeping Drago a dragon. There are points in the movie where you'd think he was a man from how clumsy he is or how he loses a fight. It's very weird... but thankfully like the rest of the story, he has his strong moments to make up for it. -1 star

The feminism half-way through the movie slows it to a crawl and feels like it does make some form of sense with the story, so maybe if it was done with a bit more humour and wasn't so baked into the main story, it could've worked. -1 star.

The music is alright. It's pretty sparse and suddenly appears out of nowhere here and there, but it's good enough.

Overall, an enjoyable movie for Dragonheart fans, for others, it depends on whether or not you can stomach some bad dialogue here and there. There are good moments to be had.

After more than a handful of films, the "Dragonheart" franchise, which was carried in the arms of producer Rafaella de Laurentiis, has yet another launch. There are no great merits to point out, other than the fact that it is supposedly a prequel to the first film.

The script is basically more of the same: we go back to a very remote period in the history of England, right after the end of the Roman Empire, to a place somewhere where there were dragons and a small monarchy, where a country boy ends up becoming king by being recognized as the son, never assumed, of the late local sovereign. The boy has a connection to a dragon, assumed by the marks he carries on his back, but this connection is incomplete, and it is when the kingdom is invaded by Vikings that he realizes the reason: his sister, who he thought was long dead, has returned to claim the kingdom for herself by being born a minute before her newly crowned brother! This is what I call a narrow margin win!

Despite the fact that the story has absolutely no trace of originality, and that the successive and poor sequels have never even been able to match the first film, I can say that this was the film that I liked the most, right after the original, but far from it. The fight between brothers is an additional point that worked well in the plot, even if it is very silly to think that a series of Vikings will adopt a baby in a basket just because.

The film features some actors who deserve a positive mention, starting with Sir Ben Kingsley, who once again voices the dragon with skill and talent. The work of Tom Harries and Jessamine Bell can be the target of some criticism, neither of them is particularly skillful, but the truth is that both managed to decently disentangle themselves from the challenge that was in their hands.

The massive CGI used by the film also seems to me to be more effective, better introduced and more elegant than anything that has been used previously (except the original work, obviously). The dragon that was presented here is good, it works well and the way it behaves and interacts with humans is well imagined. What really goes wrong with this film is the amount of bad costumes, bad make-up and the excessively fanciful way in which the Middle Ages, in a very concrete and distant period, were portrayed.

This film was a pleasant surprise! I found this one enjoyable. I liked this one much better than the 2nd in the series. I like this one quite a bit.

6.5/10.

This had a very interesting plot, and was definitely a turn from the previous ones, while not totally going away from them. The CGI and cinematography were just as good as the third one, and Patrick Stewart continued the tradition of an old British actor doing the Drago (yes, I know Sean Connery was Scottish, but still) which has been one of the good consistencies this series has had (excluding the sequel; sorry Robby Benson). The acting was actually pretty good. You kind of didn't, kind of did have to see the third one to slightly understand this one. The plot was okay, but the feminism in this movie was really annoying and distracting. So, not a bad movie overall.

I can see that most of the male contributors hated the movie and most of the female contributors loved it. This could be happening because the movie revolves more around psychological and emotional aspects of both dragons and humans insted of bloody wars and fights as you would see in, for example, game of thrones.

I think Rafaella de Laurentis is giving her fans something that is almost non-existant in the movie market. Yes, the plot is extremelly weak, as have been all of the Dragonheart plots after the first movie. The dragons and the effects are probably not the best in Hollywood either. But these movies keep coming out despite their poor economic revenues, and that's something dragon fans should be greatful for.

NOT EVERYBODY likes beastly, evil, brainless, pet dragons as those of games of thrones. When I picture a dragon, I picture a wise, elder creature, just as these movies present them. If I want to see a winged dinosaur out of control, Hollywood is full of them.

I am more than willing to sacrifice CGI perfection just to see dragons as those from the DragonHeart franchise. I've fallen in love with every one of them. The plot, however, should be improved. The first DragonHeart had an awesome plot and I'm sure they can go back to that.

Not the best in the series. Too predictable and kind of boring.
