| Long ago, when majestic fire-breathers soared through the skies, there lived a knight who would come face-to-face and heart-to-heart with the most remarkable creature that ever existed. Dennis Quaid stars with the voice of Academy Award winner Sean Connery in director Rob Cohen's heroic adventure that blazes with fantasy, humor, and the most amazing special effects. Bowen (Quaid) is a knight dedicated to The Old Code - a noble creed of honour. When his pupil,Prince Einon,becomes an even crueller king than his father,Bowen's idealism turns to bitterness.Believing Einon's soul to have been poisoned by a dragon,Bowen vows to destroy them all.On his quest for revenge he meets "Draco" (Connery),a dragon whose power,strenght and wit prove to be more than a match for the disillusioned knight.Soon,what begins as a life or death struggle between the two evolves into a friendship that will change the face of their medieval world. Co-starring David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Julie Christie and Dina Meyer, this epic adventure will move and thrill the entire family. |
| My thoughts about Dragonheart: |
| I like the story. Or rather - I don't dislike the story. But the film has problems. And one of them - for me - is Sean Connery. In the documentary Rob Cohen says that Connery's voice is immediately recognizable, as if it's a good thing. It isn't. Not for me, at least. The 20 year old CGI is also "immediately recognizable". Combined, this means that Draco never becomes its own character, but is always an animated dragon with the voice of Sean Connery. And thus I can never really get involved in the story, and the tagline "You will believe" just never comes true. |

My Thoughts:
This one I just couldn't get into. While it a decent scene here and there. For the most part I found it unfunny. While this one is barely over an hour I found myself watching the clock for it to end. I started to wonder if I would make it till the end... but I did.

I always loved to watch the classic He-Man series. But I never liked the new adventures. Even as a kid I thought the series was stupid, as was the toyline.
The dialog is just horrible in this episode. And the characters are all so stupid. The only thing I found good was, that they showed Adam revealing himself as He-Man to his parents. But even that was handled badly.
