Here is my best way to describe Dragonheart: It is a touching, powerful fantasy enterprise that was made with brains and brawn. And it puts some depth aside and goes for style, but in a smart, mature way. Not only that the acting from the cast (Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Dina Meyer) was great, the cast that played their characters have strong characterizations and character development (including Draco the talking dragon). Sean Connery was a brilliant choice for a large talking dragon with a tender and brazen, and Sean brought that dragon to life. When it comes to movies about dragons, Draco is a dragon with personality. In particular, Draco is a such likable, charming creature character: He deals with enemies with power and charm, which makes him so much fun to watch. The lines of dialogue for Sean to voice Draco is so intelligent, pleasant, and powerful. The writing as a whole is incredible. What's very genius about the film is that while it goes for style, it also goes in for substance. the story is very thick, because of it's character development, complex premise, and intelligent plotting, however, the story is not really engaging, because it does seem to have much detail within. The effects are incredible, the fire that Draco breaths looks so authentic and just like Jurassic Park, the effects team uses CGI special effects and practical effects for Draco. Draco has very realistic detail and he moves with such fluidity. But, sometimes the CGI movements of Draco are a bit rigid and the quality of the CGI Draco is a little lower than the effects from Jurassic Park, it's probably due to the rendering. The bold, beautiful, and sweeping score is composed by Randy Edelman, but there is nothing new or first rate about the score (except that it does sound emotional in some places). Surprisingly enough, the movie's content a pretty tame for a PG-13 movie. The film is suitable for ages 12 and up and it should've been rated PG instead. Overall: This is an enchanting medieval film that puts "knights vs dragons" aside, and goes for an original new ground of storytelling about a smart, charming talking dragon who is not so bad.

A story about how a prince became greed overpowering him to evil, as a noble knight goes to kill the dragon who changed the prince yet also his close friend, then befriend the last dragon finds even a heart of a dragon has much of love and passion in each ones heart. Truly a good story

I watched this for the first time when I was 6 or 7 and loved it back then. Upon re-watching it with friends now I remember why, it's a great movie that doesn't take itself too seriously but still makes some serious points and has endearing characters. It's an excellent movie to share some laughs with family.
