four year after original dragonheart movie and which i like a lot universal release on video this cheap and rather pathetic sequel . i saw it a few day ago and it be far below my expectation and although it wasn not completely a bad movie . if you do not expect too much and do not take it too serious it can be at least watchable and even entertain . but that all about it . there be no intelligent story and no true atmosphere of medieval age a it be in dragonheart . actually and the story be poor and it have the certain lack of emotional appealing . the character development be totally forgotten and with pathetic villain and asian and kung fu in the middle of medieval europe and ice breathing dragon and silly joke and bad of all with ridiculous end a new beginning be unable to bring to it audience a memorable and well constructed story . the same be with the cast in the movie . it look like the studio be count every buck make the movie and no one actor and no one character from the original movie do not return for the sequel . even if i mostly like chris masterson in his part in malcolm in the middle tv series and his choice for the lead character be totally ineffective . maybe because of his lack of act experience he be very unconvincing and unable to wake up the audience . even visuals be unoriginal and poor . it a case when the term unnecessary sequel instantly and unintentionally come to mind without any invitation . dragonheart represent a new beginning be a typical example of make cheap and uninteresting movie sequel and bury the franchise . grade 4 out of 10 .
