This is a film with all its faults overly hated in my opinion. Apart from The Godfather 2 or Terminator 2 MOST sequels aren't as good as the original. With that said this is still a strong sequel considering. My biggest gripe would have to be how hard it was to get off the ground in the first place.
It's not a bad movie but the sheer weight of development hell drug this down and hurt its potential. I can only thank Jack Nicholson one of the finest actors of all time for not giving up and directing the damn thing anyway.
What we have is a solid noir detective piece worthy enough to come after "Chinatown." One is only left to imagine a planned 3rd film we will never see because the studios, writers, and producers all dropped the ball. All in all you still get a more than worthy viewing of one of the best to ever do it.

What we have here is a real gem. I saw this as a teen and just revisited in 2025. I still can't believe how solid this looks for a film from 2002. The cast, acting, and effects are incredible considering the subject material. Dragons taking over the world with only a a few groups of human survivors? What a concept! I can't think of many movies this ambitious except maybe Jurassic Park!?
The cast is a real treat. Christian, Matthew, and Gerard Butler all hit the mark. Filmed in the mountains of Ireland I can't think of a better place for such a crazy mythical showdown between humans and dragons. Badass from start to finish, check it out!

No this isn't a perfect horror movie, most never are. What it is, is lots of fun leaving you satisfied with how kooky and funny it is. The mystery itself is nice enough to see through and watching it unravel is well worth a ticket. The characters are believable enough and the pacing is just right considering all the moving parts. Overall you get a decent acted suspense filled mess that keeps you wondering guessing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and it was a bigger surprise than I thought. There's plenty of horror cliches but it's still lots of fun solid 8/10.
