If you're thinking of going into acting, watch this film. It will give you great confidence. Assuming the cast actually got paid for their performances (I use the word advisedly), there's hope for anyone who ever played Third Soldier in the school play. In fact, school plays were several cuts above the acting here. The cast wore a permanently bemused expression, as well they might given the awful "special effects" that looked like they were created on a Sinclair Spectrum. The fight scenes were laughable, where the heroes guarding the princess (I think she had a severe skin condition) swished away at thin air (you were supposed to think they were fighting the dragon). The dialogue was written by someone who has never conversed with human beings, and their epic journey about as dangerous as walking to the bus stop. Even if this was done by primary school kids with a camera phone (and it often looked like it), Dragon is tosh.

Proved fact,,any movie directed or somehow Scot's done something in the movie just stay away,,waste of electricity your time,,money whatever... Scot harper must be from a mental institution or something,,i don't know who lets this useless idiot fag make movies, i mean if u ever see the name Harper ,just say no to the movie,,after watching that alien vs hunter of his,,damn, all i think is killing the producer, it'd actually make me feel good and i won't feel bad about it. i think i just want beat him to death, slow death ..don't ask my why SCot harper i hope u die and burn in hell and i don't know what to say, so Scot harper must die i just hope he dies before producing another movie

It's very easy to bash low-budget films, and most do not realise the time, effort and passion that goes into their creation. People only seem to comment on the 'bad' acting, the 'bad' SFX, and the 'bad' dialogue, forgetting - and lets be honest here - that's the whole reason we watch them.However, when a film comes along that spends it's entirety in an utterly featureless forest so that superfluous and forgettable characters can spout exposition of unseen events while trying to create a vague air of looming malevolence by waving swords at the ether, you really begin to wonder... "Dragon - why do you hate me?" There's much to enjoy here - endlessly quotable dialogue for the bad movie fans, and Eliza Swenson always commands attention - but entirely let down by a screenplay chock-full of Leigh Scott's brand of plot-less meanderings and the less-than-seminal notion that trees are now suddenly fun to watch. Well they're not. They're trees.

I'm seeing all of these negative comments about this movie, but clearly these are people who don't know the industry at all.Actually, I was extremely impressed, given the budget. I've seen worse films that cost WAY more to make.The negative people here are all comparing this film to films with $100 million to $150 million dollar budgets. The budget on this film was not $100 million, or $10 Million, or even ONE million dollars. It was only half a million.I very recently saw poorer special effects on a film which had a budget of more than ten times this amount. (The budget on that one was around $7 million, so roughly 14 times the budget that this film had.) There were some problems with the film, sure, but I expected much, much less of a film with less than a one million dollar budget.They did a great job with what they had.Even Stargate, a show I LOVE, and which has a much higher budget per episode than this entire movie cost, had a "dragon" recently that was nowhere near as good as this one.If you want to critique a movie, compare apples to apples, not apples to diamonds. I'm sure if this film had a budget that was 200 to 300 times higher, it would have been considerably better, but they did a hell of a job with what they had.
