Why can't someone make a good movie about dragons?

Are there any good ones besides Dragonslayer?

Well, I mean, I like Dragonheart and all, but it's not really a "good" movie.

Would The Hobbit count as a dragon movie?

You'd feel cocky too if you were full of myself.

Agreed, dragons are cool but they have such gay movies where they are treated like fairy tales. They had really cool effects plus sean connery's voice and this is what they did with it?

Now that I've seen it I'm glad I didn't go see it in the theater. The ticket money would have been wasted. I'm sorry it's such a stinker. I'm always willing to like a movie with dragons in it, but this was no good. And it's a shame, because the premise was promising. A waste.

Reign of Fire.

Oh please, Reign of Fire is far worse than Dragonheart.

I have to agree that Dragonslayer is the only good dragon movie out there.

Eragon had great potential to be a fantastic trilogy, but sadly suffered thanks to an incredibly bad screenplay and even worse director...it flopped.

Why they put such a big title (was back when the book was a best seller) to a first time director is beyond me.

Yes! Reign of Fire is one badass dragon movie!

Sorry you didn't like this film.
Personally, until LOTR came along, this was my favorite fantasy film.

You misread, I do and did say that I like the movie. It's just not a very well put together film. It's like a good B movie.

There is no such thing as a brilliant master piece of a dragon movie. and by the way, Dragonslayer was a load of *beep*

Well, uh...

A dragon is a cool concept, but it's hard to make a good story surrounding it.

Yeah, if they had made Reign of Fire like the poster (several helicopter gunships vs many dragons) it would have been awesome.

We can all agree that Dragon movies aren't the best, some are decent but none are considered a 'masterpiece'.

In my opinion, it's far better than "Dragonslayer." I adore this movie.

[–] Al_Truist80 12 years ago

Dragonslayer is still the best dragon film, full stop. Even DragonHeart doesn't come near.

What about a tv show called Game of Thrones?
