By now, I have seen this movie already twice. First, on my own and then a 2nd time, with Nick, my step-son, because he loves dragons. Anyway, in my opinion, this flick really had a lot of potential. First of all, the cast was quite awesome (Christian Bale, Gerard Butler and even Matthew McConaughey who never looked so badass with his baldhead and tattoos) and if they would make another movie together nowadays, it would be quite an event. Anyway, I really enjoyed the concept about those dragons ruling the world. Furthermore, the special effects were pretty cool and the dragons looked great. So, they had all the ingredients to make one hell of a flick about dragons but somehow, it didnโt really work out. Indeed, they unfortunately rather messed up the story, they tried to make it look and sound serious and edgy but it just wasnโt really convincing. Basically, it was a rather weak story with some major plot holes. Eventually, the end result was underwhelming and even though it could have been a pretty cool flick, it is not really good and I donโt think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of the genre.
