a gr8 film came in excellent condition thx very much Review: Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.Read full review
I brought this film for my Grandsons to watch, as the youngest in onto Dragons at the moment. I have always liked the original film Dragonheart, so I thought I would purchase the sequel because it has a good story and as long as you can take Dragons as being real or not, this film is not over the top and is entertaining. Acting and Actors are also down to earth and do not go to Far. Overall, not as good as the original which I would give as an Excellent +++, but a good film for all the family.
Draco the Dragon was supposedly the last of his kind, and since he died at the end of the movie…well, I guess that ending wasn't conclusive enough for Raffaella De Laurentiis, producer of both films. Since recombinant DNA or cloning didn't exist in the generic Middle Ages, the writers came up with a remarkably "clever" way of introducing a new dragon: Draco had a dragon's egg squirreled away in his…HIS…cave! Perhaps these crack scribes learned a different set of the birds and the bees than I did. But, it can't be called Dragonheart: A New Beginning if there's not a dragon. Anyway, the egg hatches and an order of rather areligious monks raise the dragon in secret. (See, in this movie, you're a monk if you have a funny haircut and read dusty books, as opposed to real monks, who have funny haircuts and read dusty books AND devote their lives to religious service.) The secret of the dragon is discovered by Geoff (Chris Masterson, Cutthroat Island, TV's "Malcolm In The Middle"), a young stable boy with dreams of becoming a knight (because, after all, what kind of teenaged boy dreams of cleaning up horse dung all his life?). He lures Drake the dragon (voiced by Robby Benson, also the voice of the Beast in Disney's Beauty And The Beast) into the open where he is discovered by Prince Osiric (Harry Van Gorkum, Batman And Robin, Gone In 60 Seconds), who we can tell right off is a rotten apple to the core.Read full review
