Dragon Fun To Watch In This Mostly-Enjoyable Fantasy
Added 2/9/2009
This was kind of a Class-B fantasy-adventure story but with Grade A special effects (with the dragon) and sound. Those visual and audio treats make it worth watching. This was early "demo"-type DVD disc, exhibiting some excellent surround sound when very few other DVDs were as audibly as good.
The story begins a bit slowly but once the dragon appears it's a fun and fascinating movie to watch. A decade ago when this came out, I marveled, "It's amazing how they can make strange creatures so lifelike." Of course, FX has only gotten better and better.
For me, the dragon was the only endearing character in the movie. Dennis Quaid plays the good guy, but he's mostly annoying in here. I think it was his fake raspy voice that was irritating. In all, a fun movie.
At any rate, the movie is pure medieval fantasy and theology but entertaining enough for kids and adults. There is no bad language in here.

Think All Dogs go to Heaven
Added 2/14/2008
After watching this movie once some years ago, I developed a dislike for it. I cried too many time seeing that movie - too much like All Dogs Go to Heaven and Old Yeller in which an animal gave it life to protect a human. Yes for all its intellection and wits, the dragon is treated much like an animal - the kind that guards its human from dangers - after all, the dragon gave its heart to a sick noble then just stood there until the hero of the movie kill the noble for his evil deeds and die along with the evil noble instead of killing the noble himself.

Not the greatest movie ever, but still a good movie for the fantasy genre. Great for a lazy afternoon.

Good movie
Added 12/28/2007
I know it's an older movie that no one has really heard about but I like this movie. The condition it came in was good but I could tell it was not brand new.

Dont rent from Amazon

I rented this, and once downloaded it stated that my client license was up. Tech support couldnt help me, and instead just refunded my money. It was nothing but a waste of time.
