Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse

Dragonheart joins the rest of the plethora of movies that churn out a third movie to rake in the last few dollars before the idea is officially overdone and dead. This movie, like most franchises when they reach the third movie resembles that watered down concepts from the first movie. The first Dragon heart was fresh original and great. In these days for the movie to be great there has to be more than just fancy CGI.

This movie is let down my poor, lame acting. The characters all fulfilled their scripts.

It seems the directors had to highlight parts that are meant to be funny by adding a Irish jig to the soundtrack in some random places.

The bad guys are just plain evil for no reason than to be evil.

And the dragon.....come one peps this is meant to be focusing on the Dragon relationship with the lead character but instead he seems to pop in and out of the story like some lost little puppy. He seems tough and is willing to take lives at the start of the movie then he just flys around looking scary later on. The morals in this movie are a mess.

Ultimately now days there are better entertainment experiences with dragons to be had in games so I think I will stick to Skyrim.

-Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (2015) movie review: -Dragonheart-ish 3: The Sorcerer's Curse is a prequel (I think) to the original cult-classic Dragonheart, whose legacy really died with Dragonheart 2…. Anyway, in this rip-off, we follow an unrealistically good looking squire who, after rejected from knight school, goes over Hadrian's Wall to find a meteor, only to discover a dragon inside. But when the male dragon's eggs are stolen by a sorcerer, he, the dragon, a random loser in a robe, and epic Merida from Brave must work together to stop the sorcerer from using the eggs to hatch dragons to attack the wall and free his people. Yup. I'm not done! One subplot includes Merida and the loser monk-ish guy wanting to help their own people beat the kinda evil knights at the wall to set their people free. So they want the same things as the villain. Who also makes the dragon useless through most of the film. This. This is why I said Dragonheart-ish.

-As you can tell, I did not like this film. It is okay though, Syfy will love it.

-The story is dumb. Aaaand it makes no sense. And it is inconsistent. And it doesn't tie into the other films. Also medieval knights at Hadrian's Wall. Fighting Woads and Druids. With a dragon. A medieval dragon. The writer failed history. Every history. Ever.

-The pace was not good, because nothing happens much. Also the dragon is barely in it.

-Ben Kingsley voices the dragon. Huh. I have no idea how they got an Oscar winning actor to do that. Also the rest of the cast barely tries.

-The characters are inconsistent, unmotivated, and unlikable. Even the dragon. Who doesn't use fire to beat his enemies. Instead he just flies around. And does nothing.

-The music was mostly lame. Some fun Celtic music played during a tense fight, which made it awkwardly funny. Also playing the original Dragonheart theme does NOT earn them points in a film this bad.

-The effects were just as good as the original! The only problem was that they did not update them in 30 years….

-Like everything in this is bad. From costumes to lack of blood or inconsistent everything. Video game quests and no driving force behind anything. Dragons are also aliens now? Whatever. Dragonheart-ish 3 is already on Netflix, but that doesn't matter, because Dragonheart-ish 3 is not worth seeing. Ever!

I had the first Dragonheart on video when I was young and I was crazy about the movie. Not just because of the cool Dragons, but the way how they made the relationship between human and Dragon seem so fun. You could experience everything with them and laugh at jokes. The effects for that time was amazing.

This franchise has the most amazing Soundtrack of all time. In the first two movies they made the scene where the song played, and what the Actors did, seem so special. So I fell in love with the movies.

But unfortunately not everything can be kept to a high standard and while I was watching the third movie last night, I was horrified by the poor standards of the scenes, the poor interaction between human and Dragon. Literally just ONE scene where there was a little humor. You almost never see the Dragon and the way he looked, compared to the previous films was terrible! They made him look more like a wild animal than a character with a purpose in the movie. It;s just humans humans humans.

It's so obvious to see where scenes have been cut and pasted, scenes that didn't really have a impact on the film enjoyed the longest camera action.

You guys had one job, you had two previous movies to help you make the movie better or at least keep the standard.

I'm very disappointed with the effort and the low standard of this movie, you really ruined this franchise for me.

I'll keep my faith in the first two great movies

Third film of the unnecessary Dragonheart franchise. I never saw the first film and am not quite sure what compelled me to record this off of the El Rey Network, but I did. The first sequel was better than I expected and I actually liked this third film just about as much. The story here is about involves another young person, a knight this time, befriending a dragon. The conflict involves the young knight helping the dragon protect a clutch of eggs from an evil sorcerer, as well as other plot lines involving Hadrian's Wall and barbarian hoards. Like the prior sequel 15 years earlier, this PG-13 film felt as if it were basically a kids movie, but with PG-13 levels of violence, rendering it not appropriate for the kiddies and left me wondering who was the target audience? Still, I did find myself entertained and never really bored, which is more than I can say for a lot of films.

I should probably rate the movie with just one star because the plot is crap, the actors are like playing during their bath time (awful) and even the music feels out of place in many parts.

More in detail the plot is full of so many holes that we could open a golf course. I could play better in ANY movie ANY day than most of them, (except maybe a little from the female actor which had some shinny moments, the master druid and the master knight) and the music was like drunk people were playing and they were trying to keep up with the scenes but were too stoned to succeed.

The only reason that i 'm giving it 4 stars is because of the CGI, which are mesmerizing. The details in everything, well, fake are absolutely stunning. The problem was with the living parts of the movie... That's all. A totally destruction of the dragonheart story. Do not bother.
