Today you'd get a dragon movie with terrific casting and non-stop action that would still completely miss the mark. <em>Dragonslayer</em> could have used a Christian Bale or Izabella Scorupco, but hey, it was 1980 we're talking about here. What this flick lacks in sophistication it more than makes up for in vision. Thanks for commenting. Piper: Great point.

It's rich with mood and it gets points for aspiring to be something more. They don't make movies like this anymore. Like it or hate it, it was a risk. Reign of Fire was interesting, but they had to throw the cowboy in there to make it interesting. I wanted this movie to be more, but I’m not disappointed with the end result.
