If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I was saddened by such a low score on this film when I looked it up. Obviously it doesn't hold a finger to the original, but it's not terrible. I've seen much worse. I saw this when I was 11 or 12 and really enjoyed it. I was at the time (and still am) a huge fan of the first film. I felt this one wasn't trying to match it though but more or less show the story to a much younger audience. The acting was decent over all, not anything special but not terrible. I liked Chris Masterson as a young orphaned stable boy. As a kid I could relate to him because of his desire to fight and become a knight but not being able to. Over all the effects are not great, but it was basically done on a TV budget. The dialog wasn't really that good, but it didn't bother me like other films have.I think this is a great companion to the first one in the fact that it can re illustrate the power of kindness and love to children. Don't expect the original film, but sit down with your children and have some fun with them!

Seriously, when I first saw the styling of the new baby dragon, I expected it to swallow a turtle any moment on the way and sprout angel wings. It looks too much like Yoshi, like a baby and the sad thing is that I have yet only talked about the dragon.Christopher Masterson and Robby Benson are spectacularly out of talent during this lot, a spineless cast trying to bare the weight of complete and utter failure. The underdog recipe has been tried honestly for over a thousand times, on twenty different types of movies, but in most cases, this one included, it does not inspire pity nor does it add something to the experience of watching this.Then there are the brace of peeps that watch this thing for its special effects; trust me when I say that they are quite bad. So... is there anything at all making it you worthwhile to watch this? No.

This movie was awesome! It was ten times better than the original! There were such awesome, unique ideas that made this movie like no other Dragon movie.Dragons blow fire. Who cares? That's old news. Now they can blow ice too! That was a great idea! I loved the final battle between Gryphon and Drake. I also loved the transformation into the evil dragon.Some people are so caught up in special effects and other secondary elements in movies that they miss the most important things. This movies is a non-stop adventure that will delight audiences for years to come.

I'm sure everyone who loved the first Dragonheart were most taken by the breathtaking presence of Draco, the consequence of some very successful work on the part of his animators. The first appearance of his successor in this film is bound to be a bit of a shock, because the animation is not the equal of Draco. That being said, everything else about Dragonheart II is equal to the first. It's a clever and very original story with a great cast and even our dragon has a lot of personality despite the limited graphics.If you loved the first Dragonheart, you can learn to love the second one too.
