When a dragon saves a hopeful knight’s life, the two bond together to defeat an evil sorcerer and protect the next generation of dragon. Has it really been 15 years since the direct to video sequel and 19 years since the original film? Wow. Well this direct to video offering still isn’t up to the quality of the original film, but the characters actually grow and learn and aren’t entirely unlikeable. The effects are pretty decent surrounding the dragon itself, and it brought a smile on my face to hear the Dragonheart theme again. While it’s a decent enough story, it is pretty basic but it at least works. Ben Kingsley as the dragon was a great choice here and even though it feels a little stripped down, I do actually hope we get more of these.
