Review of DragonHeart (1996) by Kieran F — 16 Sep 2013

Maybe the not the most...amazing film ever but I quite enjoyed this film. I remember first seeing it in theaters as a kid and liking it(back in '96 not '86 as RT mistakenly put) mind you I look back and I think I can see why this film wasn't given great reviews. at the time there was(if I remember right) A LOT of films coming out that had to do with dragons,Medivel empires and etc. so it was some what cliche and boring to see another one of them. This one was no different sure the premisses was interesting but ultimately it was just another well..King Arthur story basically. It wasn't bad but it was kind of boring. The story as I said was a king arthur type story meaning it's about a man who's able to rise up and lead his kingdom to an era of prosperity and etc from the darkness. The only catch? the king has half a heart of a Dragon in him due to being stabbed almost to death. The problem with that? he get's the "Evil side" of the heart. um...okay. Like I said it's cliche and all but the midevil premises and all the actors deliver which helps make this film entertaining. and not to be band wagonning or somehing but the best performance's are by Sean Connery. His voice as the dragon is great fun and actually at times quite funny IE "I merely chewed in self-defense, but I never swallowed." haha to "Oh, thank you very much. It's been stuck down there for months. Can you get your buttocks off my tongue?" Bowen: Why should you be comfortable? My armor is rusting in your drool and your *breath*, is absolutely *foul*!

Draco: Well, what do you expect, with an old knight rotting between my molars? Haha but other then that there isn't alot in the film to say it's amazing but it's not crap either.
