The Road Warrior meets
Dragonslayer in the briskly entertaining post-apocalyptic action thriller
Reign of Fire.
Reign of Fire exists primarily to give us a bigger and better dragon than the Vermithrax Pejorative of 1981's classic
Dragonslayer, and in that regard, the special effects are mightily impressive; the reptilian fire-breathers are stupendously convincing. While the earlier film offers a richer, more whimsical medieval adventure,
Reign of Fire is a fast-moving tale of man versus dragon that takes place in the charred England of 2020, after Earth has been scorched by rapidly multiplying dragons and the aftermath of a futile nuclear counterstrike. Mixing high-tech gadgetry with primitive survivalism,
X-Files alumnus Rob Bowman makes the most of his midlevel budget, establishing a lavish castle base for the rugged, adversarial teaming of Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey as dragonslayers on the brink of extinction. With a steady supply of crowd-pleasing highlights,
Reign of Fire is a pyrotechnical treat.
--Jeff Shannon

| 2 stars for life-like special effects. Besides that there's nothing worth watching. | 2008-08-25 | 2 / 5 |

| I give this movie 2 stars for its life-like special effects. Besides that there's nothing worth watching. Threre's nothing in the plot. The acting is so so. In short, there's nothing interesting here except the special effects. |

Battling dragons was a story told in legends of knights in the dark ages.
The old maps had at the edge of the known world:
"There be dragons there".
They actually found flying reptiles in the fossil record in the very far past.
Here a cave in a London underground excavation is uncovered: the sleeping dragons rise to bring down man.
The last hope of man seems to be a small band of dragon slayers.
Only one man knows where the original cave lair is, where the only male
makes his home.
Some need heroes, but others are born to it.
It is a fun movie that blends legend with adventure in an strange new future.

| Matt/Christian and one BADDDD DRAGON!!! | 2008-05-21 | 5 / 5 |
|
| Matt and Christian sharing a screen with one really bad azz male dragon, could a movie have anymore testosterone than that. The story was nicely done, FX nicely executed and the acting no less than great, I was completely satisfied with my decision to give this movie it's "day in court". I am purchasing a second copy of this dvd this week because cable chooses to exhaust me with next to impossible to enjoy movies repeating them over and over again and letting great movies like this sit on some shelf collecting dust. What a Shame! |
