Cœur de dragon 3 : La Malédiction du sorcier

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.

-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!

Not too shabby of a film. I did like it but it's got it's down points. This one has a story that I liked well enough to enjoy.

5/10.

Granted, when I sat down in 2022 to watch the 2015 adventure fantasy movie "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" for the first time, I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from director Colin Teague. Yet, as I hadn't already seen the movie, of course I found the time to do so.

The storyline told in "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" was actually adequate enough. Sure, it wasn't a particularly outstanding adventure fantasy movie, but it was actually entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. And yeah, I was adequately entertained by the movie, no doubt about it.

However, the movie feels somewhat rushed and superficial, as the storyline never really takes times to let the audience delve deep into whatever is being pushed through the storyline at a rapid pace. On that account, then director Colin Teague was sort of delivering a halfhearted movie.

Visually then "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" wasn't an impressive movie. The special effects and CGI definitely worked as intended, but for a movie from 2015, then the CGI felt inferior. The movie, being a fantasy adventure and all, would definitely have benefitted a lot from having greater effects and greater CGI.

The cast ensemble in "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" was all unfamiliar faces for me, and that was actually a good thing. I enjoy watching new talents and faces in movies, especially since they aren't associated with other previous characters and movies. So that worked well for me. The only known perfomer here, for me at least, was the voice of Ben Kingsley, as the voice of Drago.

Sure, "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" can be watched and enjoyed for what it is, especially if you are a fan of the fantasy and adventure genre. But don't get your hopes up, because this is not an outstanding foray into the genre.

My rating of "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" lands on a five out of ten stars.
