Comments on: Dragonslayer (1981) http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2008/09/09/dragonslayer-1981/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:14:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Robert Kim http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2008/09/09/dragonslayer-1981/comment-page-1/#comment-8900 Robert Kim Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:41:21 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2008/09/09/dragonslayer-1981/#comment-8900 Actually I miss spelled the Princess's name in Dragonslayer, it was Elspeth. I would love it if they were to do either a sequel to or a remake of Dragonslayer just to see how it would turn out and to see if anyone could prove what most people say, that the original movie lacked good actors and a better story line. Personally I know that will never happen because nothing is better than the original. Which is why Dragonslayer came out back in 1981 not today.

Plus, Caitlin Clarke was my first crush and what a crush that has never gotten weeker or died! I knew that she was a Girl even before Galen ever saw her under the water in the pond. How? Easy, her voice was a perfect give away, and so was the shape of her face. Anyway Dragonslayer paved the way for the rest of the Dragon movies and t.v. shows to come after it, so to anyone who thinks that Dragonslayer lacked anything in anyway shape or form has got no imagination and needs to visit the world of Dragons and folklore a lot more often. Plus if it were not for Dragonslayer the game called Dungeons and Dragons would never had existed either. Vermithrax, Galen and Valerian and Princess Elsbeth we all miss you.

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.
