The CGI was not top quality. Neither was the acting. Not your big production budget movie. Nevertheless, I found it easy enough to look past the movie's short comings. ...And just enjoy the story.

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 :)

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.

Good family movie (for those with older kids) Slapstick type violence but also heavy at times. Lighthearted humour all the way through but also contains mild adult humour. A decent film. I sat through it and I get easily distracted with my phone, I left my phone alone so I must have enjoyed it. No swearing. No sexuality. Overall a decent watchable movie.

Fans. it's atlteast as good as II if not better, better cgi, and actually better than the eragon movie, not the books obvsly

I have to wonder what some neg-rating reviewers here are thinking, or what they were expecting. The acting in this movie is fine. The directing is good, as is the CGI. It has a story, a moral, teaches a good lesson. What, not enough sex, violence and foul language to suit some people? Those slamming this as a terrible movie really need to move on to something more to their taste.

This is one of the better of the DragonHeart movies. I am as quick to call a bad flick as anything, but this is simply an enjoyable film. The characters are well-developed, the bad guys properly bad, the dragon concept rather interesting. The negative reviews are no more than jaded rants. This is a decent older-children family film well worth watching.

Look... I totally get it Universal... I totally get why you'd want to 'make bank!' or 'cash in' on the whole Game of Thrones thing, but making a 2nd-rate movie with a cobbled together script and 3rd-rate acting and 4th-rate CGI, isn't going to get you millions of dollars OR result in a good movie.

Literally everything in this movie is so slapdash, that I struggled to finish it... LITERALLY struggled... I wanted to stop watching it SO BAD, I'm not even kidding. I remember taking my phone out and browsing the internet whilst watching the movie, because I was so disinterested.

Dragonheart Vengeance isn't the next GoT Dragonheart Vengeance isn't a good movie Dragonheart Vengeance isn't going to make money

Universal, you should be ashamed.

I must admit, I didn't have any hope for this movie. The second one to forth one had horrible CGI with horrible story. This one doesn't have a breaking story, nor is it go so big like the first one about a rebellion against a tyranical king, but the story and charachters still "feels" Dragonheart. There are several points through the film that goes deep into the dragons lore, and that is always good. It has a very decent CGI, the charachters, although not awesome, ar well played, and the dragoness looks nice! Let's remember that the original Dragonheart didn't have awesome CGI, and this one compares to that level and I dare to say that tops it. Above avarage,

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

What did i Just watch, Someone's important in universal let his grand son make a movie. Its Just bad, poor acting, horrific effects, dragon look like a rhino with wings, Just hillarious... Directing is grim at best. Stay away from this fantasy fans, the sword of truth is epic compared to this!!

Its not a great movie. The acting is bland, and the CGI looks like something from a Pc or consol Game. Basically low budget and disappointing for a Universal Movie.

Writers tried to hit all viewer demographics by having attractive teens w/romantic interests alongside very nasty baddies who do the most horrible things to people which left this watcher kinda on the fence as to the movie's direction. The dragon was OK except maybe a little wishy-washy, but it gave somewhat reasonable philosophical/moral reasons for it's beliefs & actions. Except, when it came to the baddies. Obvious trouble if baddies are not dealt with appropriately, consequently, as it turned out, there were more problems. Acting, dialogue, overall script had more positives than negatives. CGI was OK.

What ruined this movie was the fact that it had no tone and as a result, everything felt really awkward.

The tone of the movie was set up with the death of the main protagonists family. Dark right? Nope. The entire movie is filled with unfunny and very uncomfortable "funny" scenes. It was really awkward to watch.

The music was nice, but used very badly. There was a scene that dialog wise was supposed to be dramatic but the play some goofy music.

The dialog was sometimes good, but the delivery by the actors was ... well... nobody took this movie serious.

Also there was a lot of talking about the backgrounds of some "characters" but we as the audience never experienced it. It was most of the times very awkward when they suddenly broke out in some monologue about the past. Like this is an anime or something.

No choreography at all. The action was poorly shot and poorly executed.

This was supposed to be an adventure, but the movie took place in like 4 or 5 days. It does not feel like they had at journey at all.

Cinematography was boring. I like movies that are being shot outside, but the bad weather and bland environments were just eye sores.

CGI was on par slightly worse than the first Dragonheart movie.

The main character is the worst. His parents died, but except of some flashbacks we never experience his pain. I do not think he even cared. So the word Vengeance in the title was a lie.

I kinda liked the B-version of Velkhana. I do not know why.

This movie is not terrible. It is only the tone that kills it. If you have no issues with cringe and unfunny scenes/jokes, you will get some entertainment out of it.

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.

It's funny. I'm actually a fan of all the Dragon Heart movies. But I think this one is my least favorite byfar. Ill give it points for being family friendly and lighthearted. The CGi is certainly better than DragonHeart 3 or 4.

But the dialogue was god-awlful and the pacing was atrocious. Some of the scenes were just overly corny. I just can't with this one.

I actually liked that it was completely different from the first, also deserves alot more credit then some are willing to give. For the budget they had and the amount of stupidity of the other sequels/prequels this one actually did some justice. Acting was done well, graphics were decent and plot was interesting.

But, considering today's youth and at least a generation younger...these that take good CGI for granted, having been nurtured at the breast of nintendos and beyond...they're used to more 'realism'. how's that for a paradox? oxymoronical as it gets...realistic video...mistaking the mirror for what casts the image...but so is the human condition...God's projection...our dream... in any case...as i was watching i realized....'ok...this isn't for me...but it WOULD be watchable for a nonjudgmental child... work with that any way that suits you...

Spellbound Dragon picture with overwhelming fights and sensational scenarios . This film blends fantasy, dragon flights, witchcraft , adventures , battles and is extremely fun and amusing. This is a medium-budget film in which there's some slow spots but the enjoyable relationship between Luke and Siveth make for a fun pairing.

Likable performances by Jack Kane, Joseph Millson and Helena Bonham Carter .The story has many familiar dragon motifs found throughout Western culture , in particular Saint George and the Dragon, in which maiden sacrifices were made to appease a harassing dragon.

Smart screenplay, dealing with fantasy medieval, dragons , necromancy , fantastic kingdoms and many other things . Entertaining and fun movie with acceptable special effects bringing the dragon to life . Work on dragons made by CG sometimes seem authentic , but is also noted its computer realization . It is entertaining and funny and with decent computer generator special effects bringing the dragon to life . The movie was produced in budget enough by Raffaella De Laurentiis (Dino's daughter), who financed the complete franchise. Decent musical score by Mark McKenzie , though he takes sounds from excellent and memorable Randy Edelman's soundtrack . As well as a colorful and glimmering cinematography by Matthew Weston. The motion picture was professionally directed by Ivan Silvestrini , but woth no originality . It's a family film , a fantasy action-adventure for the ages , but is specially appointed to kids .

Dragonheart Vengeance(2020) rating. 5.5/10. Only for saga fans.

This is the only Dragon heart sequel or prequel that I have watched and I am happy to report it is okay at best and really not worth your time. On the plus side, it goated me into watching the original Dragonheart again.

Nothing more to say this is seriously one of the WORST movies I have ever seen in my LIFE!
