Product ReviewsDragonheart: 2 Legendary Tales (DVD, 2004)

Dragonheart

I would certainly love to give a higher rating for this product, but the second movie, 'Dragonheart 2', is not a very good sequel, in my opinion. Given more ideal circumstances, I would never have bought it as a separate DVD. Sure, it has humor, action, and an interesting storyline... I don't fault it for that. The truth is, the animation is nothing like the first movie, and is painfully evident. It is very hard for a sequel to live up to it's predecessor, and unfortunately, 'Dragonheart 2' does not.

Originally, I had intended to purchase the original DVD of 'Dragonheart', but sellers had priced the darned thing much higher than this DVD. So, being the practical buyer that I am, I had to settle for a better priced alternative, at the cost of having a lesser film piggybacked to a much-beloved one. Also, it was in double-sided format, which I tend to stay away from (they are much more difficult to maintain).

I would like to add that, personally, the original movie of Dragonheart would net a 5/5 rating from me, and rightly so. It was well-done, with actors, animation, and storyline all meshing to make a great film. It remains one of my all-time favorites.

The bottom line is, if you can get past a less-than-stellar sequel and a finicky DVD format, this DVD is worth buying, if only so you can save space on your DVD shelf. If you just want to have both films because you love dragons, then by all means, buy this DVD!Read full review...

Two tales about dragons, trust, betrayal and redemtion.

I remember seeing this movie in theaters and loved it.
I was browsing eBay for it and saw the part 1 and 2 so I had to just get it.

The original movie is great and is more than most movies with dragons that is just slay the "evil" dragon. A dragon gives half his heart to a dying kings son who he believes will not be corrupt like his father. That boy grows up to be a corrupt king.

Sean Connery is amazing as Draco's voice in this touching tale about a dragon gift, a knight who once believed in a old code of honor, and a corrupt king.

Now the second movie is not as good and in my opinion.
It is after the first movie and a egg was found. This dragon was being keep secret against a event that may happen if he is found out about that could result in a horrible event.
It does have it moments tho it does not hold up to the original.Read full review...

Sweet movie! Glad I was able to find a copy!

The first of the two Dragonheart movies is sheer awesome. The soundtrack is used all over the place, but it's rarely credited to Dragonheart. The second is pretty cool too, though not nearly to the extent of the first. At such a low price though (I basically only paid for shipping) how can you go wrong?

Kids love fantasy. When I finally start a family of my own, my kids with grow up with movies like Dragonheart. Not from the youngest ages, but it's family-friendly enough that they can be introduced to a loveable character like Draco without graphic violence like in Braveheart, etc. The action's all there without the unnecessary gore and graphic qualities that would make it inappropriate for younger ages. Dragonheart all the way!Read full review...

Endearing tales...

Dragon Heart 1, I remembered.. a fine tale of moral and honor mixed with mis-adventure, desparate times, and a mutual alliance between a dragon and a knight of honor.
I didn't expect Dragon Heart II.. came as a bonus film.
Dragon Heart II is more aimed at the younger generation, a touch more light hearted..with a cute young dragon. Nice show for the kids, methinks.Read full review...

This is a true Classic that you won't forget!!

I bought this product because it contains one of my favorite movies. I remember my mom watching Dragon Heart when I was younger and not quite old enough to understand the storyline or what was happening. When I did get old enough I would somehow always run into it while flipping through the channels on T.V and I would watch it. I have grown to love this movie because of the actors, plot, and story line. Sean Connery's voice as Draco the dragon get me every time. It doesn't hurt to add a little more bulk to my DVD collection either. The only reason I dislike it is because I still have not seen Dragon Heart 2 and have no idea if I will like it but I would like to that is the reason I bought the double pack instead of just the Dragon Heart #1 also because the #1 movie was selling for the same price or more for just one movie so I decided to use that old rule get the two for the price of one! I hope you do purchase a copy because it is a GREAT movie and is a must have addition to any DVD collection!!Read full review...

Great Movies

Dragonheart is, at least among my friends and family, a fantasy classic. It was one of the first dragon related movies I viewed as a child and the beginning of my love of all things fantasy, medieval, and dragon. It's absolutely one of the greatest cinematographies I've seen!

Dragonheart: A New Beginning, while not on the same level as wonderment as its predecessor, is very enjoyable. It's got good visuals and a nice story line. It was as much fun as the first, though like most things, the sequel is not as great as the first. But a great watch!Read full review...

Another movie finishing a collection

The movie is good as long as the person watching it will watch it for the time period it was made in. I enjoyed it.
