Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

harrybrimms Title says it all. Fair flick, mild violence. Dragons and knights.

supermaggie Finally! Finally a princess with brains and a mind of her own (and not only set on princes), independent, brave, with principles, who treats the dragons as they should be treated - as wonderful, dignified (admittedly, CGI-) animals, the monsters are not dragons but humans. Funny, suspenseful, heartwarming, and filled with great cameos (Val Kilmer, Joan Plowright, Stefan Jürgens), way to go for the fairy tale genre!! And even if he does not portray the most likable character of his career in this movie, but it is always good to see Patrick Swayze (no, I am not a Dirty Dancing fan, but Swayze did much more than that and a lot of good stuff among it)! So if you want good and educative entertainment for little and adult viewers alike, check this movie out!

Jonathan Hodges I just saw this on SciFi channel, and normally I have contempt for most movies that play on that channel. But THIS one was enjoyable to watch. Good, sincere performances without the usual annoying clichés that infect most scifi CGI-filled fantasy films.Good cast has fun with the story.On the downside, there is some bad editing, cheesy CGI and everything is a bit rushed to speed towards the climactic battle. Still, it is a very ambitious piece, with action, humor and romance.Fun for the whole family, I can forgive the technical glitches. This has ambition like Lord of the Rings, action that sort of equals Eragon but with well written characters who are as fun to watch as those of Princess Bride.Awesome stuff

IrishCJH@aol.com I had been looking forward to seeing this movie through weeks of advertising and I was not disappointed.The story was well written, with several interesting twists. The movie is a mix between legend and farce and is very well done. It is fast paced with just the right mix of seriousness and playfulness.James Purefoy is excellent. His voice, his looks, his charisma are everything a knightly hero should be. His acting is extraordinary and his comic timing was superior. I had enjoyed him in his small role in "A Knight's Tale" and wondered if the promise he showed in that movie would carry over into others. His acting surpassed my expectations. The other actors and actresses play their roles well, too. They made an unbelievable story believable... well, almost.The direction was not heavy handed, maintaining the lighthearted spontaneity of the movie. Costumes were great, sets were lovely, script was fun.All in all, this is a movie I would recommend to my friends.
