Purely Joyful Movie!

Fresh and Exciting

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I should probably rate the movie with just one star because the plot is crap, the actors are like playing during their bath time (awful) and even the music feels out of place in many parts. More in detail the plot is full of so many holes that we could open a golf course. I could play better in ANY movie ANY day than most of them, (except maybe a little from the female actor which had some shinny moments, the master druid and the master knight) and the music was like drunk people were playing and they were trying to keep up with the scenes but were too stoned to succeed.The only reason that i 'm giving it 4 stars is because of the CGI, which are mesmerizing. The details in everything, well, fake are absolutely stunning. The problem was with the living parts of the movie... That's all. A totally destruction of the dragonheart story. Do not bother.

Yes, probably nothing will compare to the first Dragonheart but this was a good attempt and, in most part, stayed true to the spirit and theme of the original.A few things could have made this sequel even better - better development of the relationship between Gareth and Drago, use of the original name "Draco" (or was there some copyright issue?) and a more convincing performance from Gareth awakening to the Old Code.It was great, though, that the original theme music was kept because for us who "grew up" with Dragonheart (though I'm over 65), the music speaks of the valor and virtue of the spirit of knighthood in Dragonheart.I would have liked to see the return of Draco with memories of the past (perhaps, again, copyright issues?) that plays into the plot. I was rather disappointed to see the new Drago as completely new and there was no explanation why he landed on the earth as a shooting star with dragon eggs to boot. I guess it boils down to dragon's having to be born on this earth and not in the stars.I was also disappointed that the new Drago could not speak until he gave away half his heart to Gareth. I was expecting (and hoping) to hear a voice closely resembling that of Sean Connery to come out from Drago. When he did speak, I was a bit disappointed but mostly relieved. It was only at the end credits that I knew it was Ben Kingsley. I feel the script writers could have done a better job on Drago's part as the original Draco exhibited more wisdom as that of a dragon who had experienced and seen much over hundreds of years. Despite this, there were parts where Drago's words elicited the emotions and messages of old from the first Dragonheart.Overall, I enjoyed this sequel, especially the second half, where I sensed the script writers warmed up, so to say, and brought more and more of the magic of the first Dragonheart into play. The orchestral arrangement of the Dragonheart theme was wonderful in the final credits with the short scene at the end a nice touch. I liked, too, the detail put into Drago, though, at times (particularly at the beginning), he was a bit too evil-looking.Unlike, perhaps, some other viewers, the "death" of Draco in the first Dragonheart did not leave me sad. He only transmuted into a more elevated living presence among the stars. This sequel's ending left me wondering if the producers were entertaining a sequel. I'm hoping there is - mainly to preserve and pass on to younger generations the spirit and lessons of the heart (no pun intended) of Dragonheart.The problem with sequels is they are always compared with the original and also, too often with sequels, the writers try a completely different angle which only loses the magic of the first one. However, I can breathe a sigh of relief that the main story theme was kept here (as well as the characters in somewhat different guises).How can one preserve the Dragonheart theme if another sequel is to be made? The one thing to keep in mind is not to change Draco (or Drago) and neither the (eventual) hero. Settings and even the time-line can change but keep the theme of the triumph of honor, valor and virtue true and fast.How about a Dragonheart in the 21st century? This would really test the script writer as, I believe a lot of people will agree, the Old Code is pretty much lost in these times.So, can, and should, the Old Code live on in this digital age?

"Dragonheart 3: The Sourcerer's Curse" is a fun fantasy movie with brilliant action sequences and just enough story to keep most viewers entertained. The film is immediately better than its "A New Beginning" predecessor and is a decent sequel to the original, incorporating enough of the lore and original score to make any fan geek out for a moment.The film starts out at a brilliant pace, but is held back by some really glossy character development towards the middle, but is ultimately redeemed by its final action set piece and good casting choices. It is not clear where the film takes place in the time-line, but it seems to take place decades or even a century or two before the first film on the series.The ending sets up the now confirmed "Dragonheart 4" which will be a great film if Universal can continue and/or improve the the quality.Most of the people giving this film a low rating have not even seen the film and are a disgrace to critics everywhere.

The CGI was so good has the first one i taught in the beginning that dragon heart 3 was going to have the same simple CGI has the 2th one but i was wrong. i just waited just 2 days for the movie to be released. i never knew that dragon heart 3 was being made. it was announced around the summer of 2014 but i never saw anything about it to me it came out of no were. i was actually looking on the web something about dragonheart 1 and the trailer of dragon heart 3 came to me out of nowhere and i was glad to know about it 2 days before its digital hd release because if i had knew about mounts before the release i just be to excited to sleep wondering if we were going to have the same sad ending has the first movie i actually spoiled the movie for my self i skipped to the end to know if the dragon dies or not. but in final word Dragon heart 3 was satisfying at least to me i don't expect this movie to have high IMDb ratings but i hope higher than dragonheart 2
