westsideschl Why don't female dragons have female voices (will one did, "Eragon"), but all the rest that happen to have human vocal cords seem to sound like Sean Connery. Leaving aside total animation films, those with joint human/reptile billing seem to not be able to decide if dragons are nasty or puppy dog nice (at least to the right person). Bad list - Potter, Dragonslayers, Hobbit, Reign. Nice list - How to Train, Neverending, Dragonhearts, Game. Westerners think they flew about in the, ball park, middle ages. Easterners place them at least 4000 BCE when the Earth was a cube. Ahhh, the fun begins when superstition and religion encounter dinosaur fossils - what imaginations. Well, this film's particular dragon actor had great CGI which was easy to accomplish since the computer graphics code was already written and the dragon look already established in many films dating back to the '80s. The storyline was "Game of Thrones" borrowing (haha, stating it tamely) with wall, tribes, eggs and general overall feel. Creative storytelling, dialogue and acting would get a barely passing grade from a middle school film critiquing class.

Ryan Prince -Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (2015) movie review: -Dragonheart-ish 3: The Sorcerer's Curse is a prequel (I think) to the original cult-classic Dragonheart, whose legacy really died with Dragonheart 2…. Anyway, in this rip-off, we follow an unrealistically good looking squire who, after rejected from knight school, goes over Hadrian's Wall to find a meteor, only to discover a dragon inside. But when the male dragon's eggs are stolen by a sorcerer, he, the dragon, a random loser in a robe, and epic Merida from Brave must work together to stop the sorcerer from using the eggs to hatch dragons to attack the wall and free his people. Yup. I'm not done! One subplot includes Merida and the loser monk-ish guy wanting to help their own people beat the kinda evil knights at the wall to set their people free. So they want the same things as the villain. Who also makes the dragon useless through most of the film. This. This is why I said Dragonheart-ish.-As you can tell, I did not like this film. It is okay though, Syfy will love it.-The story is dumb. Aaaand it makes no sense. And it is inconsistent. And it doesn't tie into the other films. Also medieval knights at Hadrian's Wall. Fighting Woads and Druids. With a dragon. A medieval dragon. The writer failed history. Every history. Ever.-The pace was not good, because nothing happens much. Also the dragon is barely in it.-Ben Kingsley voices the dragon. Huh. I have no idea how they got an Oscar winning actor to do that. Also the rest of the cast barely tries.-The characters are inconsistent, unmotivated, and unlikable. Even the dragon. Who doesn't use fire to beat his enemies. Instead he just flies around. And does nothing.-The music was mostly lame. Some fun Celtic music played during a tense fight, which made it awkwardly funny. Also playing the original Dragonheart theme does NOT earn them points in a film this bad.-The effects were just as good as the original! The only problem was that they did not update them in 30 years….-Like everything in this is bad. From costumes to lack of blood or inconsistent everything. Video game quests and no driving force behind anything. Dragons are also aliens now? Whatever. Dragonheart-ish 3 is already on Netflix, but that doesn't matter, because Dragonheart-ish 3 is not worth seeing. Ever!

shamrock_d 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?

Alexandrea Wildee I think we all know that nothing will ever compare to the original DragonHeart and Draco will always be the best dragon of all time, but I really enjoyed this sequel. Much better than the second(though I still enjoyed that one as a kiddo). Its a little cheesy, but I still loved it. I might just be a huge DragonHeart nerd. I liked the story line, I think they put more thought into it this time around. It was a fun adventure and the effects of the curse were very interesting! I enjoyed most of the characters. I feel it must be a requirement of the DragonHeart movies to have an annoying monk ha but they all grow on you. I think Drago and Gareth were fantastic. This is a fun new chapter to the wonderful story that we have known and loved for almost 20 years.
