Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire

I can see that most of the male contributors hated the movie and most of the female contributors loved it. This could be happening because the movie revolves more around psychological and emotional aspects of both dragons and humans insted of bloody wars and fights as you would see in, for example, game of thrones.

I think Rafaella de Laurentis is giving her fans something that is almost non-existant in the movie market. Yes, the plot is extremelly weak, as have been all of the Dragonheart plots after the first movie. The dragons and the effects are probably not the best in Hollywood either. But these movies keep coming out despite their poor economic revenues, and that's something dragon fans should be greatful for.

NOT EVERYBODY likes beastly, evil, brainless, pet dragons as those of games of thrones. When I picture a dragon, I picture a wise, elder creature, just as these movies present them. If I want to see a winged dinosaur out of control, Hollywood is full of them.

I am more than willing to sacrifice CGI perfection just to see dragons as those from the DragonHeart franchise. I've fallen in love with every one of them. The plot, however, should be improved. The first DragonHeart had an awesome plot and I'm sure they can go back to that.

For a movie with low budget, it was pretty decent ! I rated this movie for it's standards. I really wish this saga to continue ! SHOW THEM THE MONEEEEYYYYY !!

This movie was very touching. It was more character driven then your average Dragon Fantasy. You feel for these characters.

A few quibbles: the revisionist Feminism did not make sense. There was a lot of Game of Thrones. Especially the Brother-Sister "close" relationship. Some of the supporting characters were throw away.

On the other hand, for a low budget movie the special effects were pretty good. Patrick Stewart is a worthy successor to Sean Connery.

All in all I enjoyed this movie.

Having been playing fantasy roleplaying games since around 1986 and up to 2019, then of course with a movie such as "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is just something that has to be watched.

Turns out that this 2017 fantasy adventure movie was actually surprisingly entertaining and good. The movie had a very nice storyline, one that definitely had a very unique fantasy feel to it.

The characters in the movie were nicely detailed and fleshed out, and they had some nice actors and actresses to perform the various roles and characters. One thing though, which might be nitpicking, but the fact that the Norsemen didn't speak Norse was cringeworthy. Sure, for the sake of the audience, English is preferable, but it just takes away so much of the image of them being Norsemen when they speak English.

As for the special effects in "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire", well, let me just say that they had a rather impressive array of special effects. The dragon looks very nice, realistic (as realistic as dragons can be, duh!) and the CGI was working so well in favor of the movie.

"Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is definitely a nice movie, especially if you enjoy the fantasy genre. It is not a movie that you need to have watched all the previous "Dragonheart" movies to understand, so it functions well as a stand-alone movie, but also as an addition to the "Dragonheart" franchise.

This was not a good movie. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. 3 stars at the most. Much of the action was predictable and the story was all too similar to many others. It's time (past time) to retire this franchise.

The forth installment is a failure!
