  My Grandmother kept saying that Dennis Quaid is a Muslim. That brings it up a star alone

  Review by Kat ★★★½ 11

  The 90s are my favorite because most of the time its hard to differentiate between a made for tv movie and a big production like this. But who doesnt enjoy some cheese? I loved this movie when I was a kid. I've always been a sucker for Fantasy.

  Dragonheart is an age ol story of good vs evil, honor, betrayal and unexpected friendship. I love Sean Connery as the wise and cheeky dragon Draco. Dina Meyer offers some girl power and Lucius Malfoy has always been hot lol. Quaid and others are mostly just there, and the movie only really shines when Draco is involed.

  But despite some dated cgi its still really enjoyable. And for a movie about dragons and knights its quite touching and funny. The ending might make you cry.

  Review by Blake Bergman "Various Spaghetti" ★★★½

  "DragonHeart" is a 1996 fantasy action film directed by Rob Cohen. The film is a 90's medieval film with nights and dragons, not really going down the route traveled with the genre of "swords and sorcery, as this one doesn't quite hold the dark conduit "sorcery" element to be housed in that genre, but rather it's more of the Arthurian knights of old candor with its element. Pragmatically, being an action film, there are plenty of bigger battle scenes, and rather than be driven into the realm of romance with that many of these stories go into, this one surfaces as a "Buddy Cop" film in some sort of unique way. The gimmick of this one is that we get…

  I hear that cinematic classic Shark Tale was inspired by this movie.

  It shows.

  My trip down memory lane is not quite over yet. Gotta rewatch this absolute childhood classic (and its sequels) first.

  1996 Ranked
  Directors Ranked: Rob Cohen

  2020 can fuck off now. Time for me to catch up on some reviews as I have been bedridden for the last week with the most wicked stomach bug I've ever had.

  This film is fine. Yeah, the CGI is pretty bad but when you consider this was made 24 years ago, it makes sense. I really liked the performances of Dennis Quaid, Pete Postlethwaite and of course, Sean Connery. Not only that though, there was a decent story here supported by some great world-building. This world of (formerly) dragons and their hunters had all it's own little rules and quirks and it just makes the film that much deeper for me.

  Not much else to say here. It's enjoyable and while the CGI has aged, the acting hasn't and the story holds up fairly well.

  Guilty pleasure.

  Review by Travis Lytle ★★★½ 2

  Viewed 24 years (what??) after its original release, Rob Cohen's "Dragonheart" is an odd collection of fantasy ideas, shifting accents, primordial CGI, and dubious wigs. To be fair, those elements would have stood out just the same in 1996; time just seems to have frozen them in place, fusing the distractions to Cohen's upbeat and light-toned fantasy-adventure

  Taking place in the middle ages, "Dragonheart" finds Dennis Quaid's Bowen on a quest to destroy all of Europe's remaining dragons. His friendship with the Sean Connery-voiced Draco melts his medieval heart, and he allies with the winged beast against the iron-fisted King Einon.

  The broad-strokes narrative is cartoony, and the story never seems to want to take itself too seriously. The production…

  Review by HKFanatic ★★ 5

  Whew, boy! I wanted to rate this one on a curve because, outside of the 80's fantasy boom, the fantasy genre has always been underserved by Hollywood, particularly during the 90's, when studios just didn't know what to do with the material—hence "Dragonheart," ostensibly a PG-13 action film featuring a fire-breathing dragon. Only, the movie feels aimed at the littlest ones in the audience, with a campy tone and slapstick humor (maybe "The Fast and Furious" director Rob Cohen is not the the man you want to transport you back to a forgotten age of chivalry and magic).

  I might be more charitable If I'd seen this as a kid but, watching it for the first time today, Dennis Quaid…

  "Valor. Virtue. Truth."

  If ever there was a film that should've been a classic childhood staple in my household, it's Dragonheart. It's a well-made, bloodless, and family-friendly medieval popcorn flick with a sneakily eloquent message about what it truly means to do the right thing. Better yet, it does so while reminding viewers to seek to understand those different from us. It's got a big heart every step of the way and, damn it, I enjoyed it, familiarity and all.

  P.S. Add Draco to the list of scaly good boys (joining the ranks of Drogon, Haku, and Toothless).
  P.P.S. Looking back at this, it's insane how much Netflix's The Witcher and Game of Thrones's final season reflect elements of this....
  P.P.P.S. Loved the Sean Connery-voiced dragon concept.

  Review by Keegan ✌🏻 ★★★½

  "Like a pudding."

  Featuring Dennis Quaid as a maybe-I-am-Scottish or maybe-I'm-Harrison-Ford sounding badass, Sean Connery as a fairly impressive dragon, Jason Isaacs already prepping his future as a typecast slimeball, and David Thewlis, delivering a performance so bizarrely stereotyped and over-the-top, it's hard to believe he moved on to be a reasonably respected actor.

  Dragonheart, teaching kids to aim for the dick since 1996.

  Review by Comicbookfan ★★★

  Has some not very good acting, dated effects and some accents are dodgy but this is a fun, old school adventure. A heartwarming story of friendship between a man and his talking dragon. The ending was emotional. with a brilliant score and excellent voice work from Sean Connery.
