Along the way, Gareth learns the true meaning of being a knight in this fantasy action-adventure for the ages.

Likes : I really don't know what to say about this 3rd installment of dragon heart, im a little disappointment in away that they didn't follow the story line of dragon heart 2 where you see the dragon all grown up to full adult that would have made this a fitting 3rd film, instead they skip a few century's with this one where all the dragon were gone.
Although they have done this it still hold its own charm with some funny moments when the dragon speaks which is from the only well know actor in the film Ben Kingsley voice of drago, the special effect on the dragon don't look cheaply done which was good , sequences and just enough story to keep most viewers entertained through out , comparing to the original Dragon Heart and Draco voiced by Sean Connery will always be the best dragon of all time & the squeal was good as well,
Acting is pretty reasonable concept not to bad but i feel the writers could have done better with this one.

Dislikes : I'm really disappointment in this 3rd film even though it still had its charm & entertaining, i feel the writer's should have followed the story of the second film with Drake as an adult dragon, instead of skipping a few century's i felt that kind of had no continuity in the film which kind of ruined these films as being a true trilogy, i feel the first two films were better it just felt that the writers got lazy with this concept for the 3rd film.
I was slightly disappointment at the fact this was lacking in the epic adventure feel the first two films had to be honest its a shame because these film had alot going for them only to be slightly ruin with a cheaply made 3rd film that could have been done better as this is only a one time view.

Overall : Dragon design is good, acting is good, story is just a little disappointing & mediocre, mer-shadow of the first two films.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for entertainment / 5.3 out of 10 for concept.
