See Reign of Fire instead
That's all. Better cast, better atmosphere and better dragons.
shareThat movie was dumb. The effects were probably better, but Dragonheart is from 1996, for heaven's sake! The story is just the typical ''Uhhh evil, evil monster dragon ate my family after roasting it with it's firey breath!''
You cannot deny that the dragons (or better the only dragon) in Dragonheart were better, they had brain, they were good, they had lots of humor!
McConaughy (or however you spell that) sucked so terribly much when acting there, it was a pain to watch, he is bad caricature. Bale was a whiner ''My poor mommy, bbahaaaaaa!!!''. This movie had no such thing as atmosphere, only dumb action where a story should have been.

I don't usually reply to posts I in my infinite wisdom deem "silly" responses, but one thing you said is definitely true, it seems to me...the minute Matthew McC shows up on screen at the front gate you go "god, he looks good, lets hope when he opens his mouth hes reinvented himself in this odd role for him."
But that damn. southern. twang and mannerism pervades. That fact, and some weird plot turnoff towards the end that I can't put my finger on, threw this film.
But, no, Christian Bale was definitely the strong point in Reign of Fire.
RoF is the Equilibrium of dragon movies, you could say.
See Dragonslayer too. That was 1980 and THAT DRAGON kicks Dragonheart's dragon's ass.
Oh great, from what I can make out about Dragonslayer on imdb it is again one of these dumb and annoying evil dragon stories. Who cares about them anyway? Dragonheart had people liking the dragon.
Bale was a whiney Mr. Perfect. His character was about as deep as a puddle. Reign of the Fire was a uninspired movie that was worse than the Disney version of Narnia.

Well, that's not saying much. My personal preference aside, if you really want to insult RoF, say it's worse than Eragon.
Which it really isn't.
Oh well.
