To me, this movie was by far the best out of them all and the story behind it was the greatest. Nowadays it seems as if it has more sorcery than dragonsAlso I miss how much this movie was focused on the knight code unlike the newer ones.If they decide to make a number 5, I strongly suggest making it more like this one.If you haven't watched this movie, please do I know you won't regret it.

If you are looking for a fun family fantasy adventure - that includes knights and dragons - then this film might suit your needs. It's a really cute film that has a heavy dose of comedy to go along with a fun but good story.It's about the last dragon and the last of the knights of the old ways (he keeps his word). Prince, Einon was almost killed when young, Bowen the knight had taught him quite a lot but he was severely wounded, dying. Bowen took the young prince to the dragon that gave him half of his heart to save him. When the prince awoke, he became quite different and ended up becoming king. The knight Bowen befriends the dragon after their fight over the prince's changes. Now they must stop this tyrant king but if he dies then the dragon dies.8/10

Dragonheart (1996): Dir: Rob Cohen / Cast: Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Dina Meyers, Pete Postlethwaite / Voices: Sean Connery: Energetic fantasy about importance of sacrifice, friendship and love. Dennis Quaid plays a knight who is assigned to protect the young King but when injured in battle the King is taken to a wise dragon who donates a heart in return that the King rule wisely. The King becomes greedy and Quaid blames the heart and vows to slay every dragon he can, with the obvious one remaining. What are the odds of that? Eventually they form a plan where Quaid hunts Draco repeatedly for money before they attempt to dethrone the King. Story is repetitious with a ridiculous climax but the visual effects bring out that young at heart feeling. The dragon is a triumphant visual wonder voiced by Sean Connery who brings personality and purpose to the dragon's sense of worth. Director Rob Cohen has fun with the fantasy elements. Quaid survives as a knight who wishes to repair a wrong, but much of the acting is bad. David Thewlis as the tyrant King is straight forward and too juvenile. Dina Meyers is the obvious potential love interest and otherwise useless. The visual effects are the payoff and unfortunately it isn't enough. An attempt to recapture fantasy will appeal to that audience while others will find that it breathes more fumes than fire. Score: 4 ½ / 10

I'm surprised this movie is not at least a 7 in IMDb. Dragonheart used to be one of my favorite movies when I was teenager. It is fun, funny and emotional, the CGI are great for late 90's and Denis Quaid acting is remarkable. Leaving aside the fact that this is a story about dragons and knights, The bottom story of honor and betrayal is a little stereotypical but still very catching. To me the downside is the antagonist casting: The guy is so boring. Other than that, Sean Connery's voice and the movie soundtrack are spectacular. Highly recommended to watch in family for those who haven't seen it yet, and for the rest, revisiting this title now and then, can be a good plan for a Sunday afternoon.
