Dragonheart: Vengeance

I really loved the first film. It was different, fun, and a good story. After Dragonheart there was one sequel, which was basically terrible... and multiple prequels that were equally (if not moreso) terrible. CGI lacked, storyline felt repeated, and I'd seen better acting at high school musicals.

Then came Vengeance. Will it get oscars? No. Was the CGI worthy of a big screen? Not quiet, BUT, out of the prequels, the dragon looked loads better then the prior films and believable. It had a more original storyline, as they pulled further back from the whole heart share thing (though still relevant) being the driving plot, which was beaten down our throats in the other films.

Joseph (Darius) and Hannah (Sivith) were fun characters and the acting was decent enough to not let it get in the way. I thought Sivith had the most "Draco like" persona... and it felt nostalgic to the original.

The plot was kinda predictable, but straight to DVD/Stream is kinda expected.

It has a happy fluff ending. Don't expect a blockbuster, but if you take it for just the fun film it is, it's a good watch.

Dragonheart Vengeance is the fith movie. And yes they should stop the dragonhaert movies. But I have to say its not terrible.

It all starts with a boy that saw his parents get killed by a group of ugly people. So he is going on a adventure with a dude (that apperently talks to animals) and with the dragon.

The movie makes its funny moments from the guy that speaks to animals, to make this movie more enjoyable to watch. Of course there is some action going on but dont get your hopes up.

The whole problem of this movie is that you can see how much time and money was spend into the movie. The CGI lacks quality, there is a moment when you cleary see that a green screen was used. Instead of just waiting for the right moment to shot. And the main character isn't all that interesting at all. Owh and the story could have been better.

That said, its not a horrible movie. It just could have been better

Although none of the subsequent sequels of the franchise were outstanding, they lacked a certain emotional feel that the original Dragonheart had. The acting is acceptable and there was a reasonable story line in Dragonheart Vengeance. However, fight scenes were fairly weak. However, there is a general fun feeling throughout the movie. It's moderate entertainment worth a watch with a bowl of popcorn.

If you're like me, you likely saw this film and thought, "hey! Is this film related to the Dennis Quaid one from 1996??" YES, it's that franchise.

Your second question is likely going to be, "is this a low budget, SYFY channel mess...?" NO, it's not. It is actually a really decent little film.

I have no idea why they chose to revive this franchise, but it's not bad at all. If you like mid-evil times, and enjoy fantasy and/or dragons? Then you'll like this!!

It's family friendly as well for the most part! A please by surprise :)

A lot of exposition used to take the place of world building and character development. There are a few clever ideas but these go no where. One of those movies you watch when you are playing a game on your phone.
