DragonHeart: A New Beginning (2000)

Very loose sequel to Dragonheart remembered and sympathetic. The really bad thing about this sequel is that too note the limited budget that probably should have, on the sets, costumes and setting, but particularly in the digital effects of the dragon, which, although not totally bad, is more typical of a television series. The story, as pretty dodgy, full of good intentions and little or almost no pretensions. What the old Chinese girl and I found funny and fun, however, as well as crossing the western European mythology with Chinese. To pass the time and little else.

The first film was a very likable and fun movie, which is more than I could say for this sequel, which was very disappointing. Drake(with decent vocal work from Robby Benson) was a good enough character, though Draco was much more likable and imposing, the CGI is fairly impressive and the score while basically a rehash is very good. However, the sets and costumes are rather tacky, the pacing is very uneven, the story is clichéd with scenes that are severely lacking in life, the action sequences is done with little or no heart, the climax is rushed and uninspired, the script is weak and the acting is not good at all. And was there anyone else who didn't like the character of Osric, as a villain he was nothing special, and he never convinced really as a villain. He was ambitious yes, but he was nothing more than that. Overall, disappointing and clumsy, definitely not the worst sequel I have seen, but it doesn't hold a candle to the much superior original. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Hmm... it doesn't follow the story very well. Guys don't lay eggs. Draco's death was significent because it was to be the last dragon's. And, the content of A New Beginning deserves a G rating.Seriously, the dialogue was simply childish. Like, "Wow," and "I don't wanna leave!" So yeah, this was pretty fake in and out. The first one had a serious storyline and was awesome to watch. But watching a baby dragon spit fire out his butt, spit on someone from a mile away, to be taught to breath ice, you can't possibly be thrilled by that.Next thing, the special effects were miserable. When Drake breathed "ice," it was was like seeing a bunch of kindergarteners throw chunks of styrafoam as a wall!

I don't care what anyone else says, I loved this one and so did my life-mate! I think it a fitting tribute to the original (even if the CGI wasn't quite as good). Be prepared for some good humor, big splashy fight scenes, and an overall (very welcome) light-hearted tone that never got fully developed in the original.The only way I see it could have been improved is if Drake were to encounter an equally young female dragon. Hoo, boy, talk about your first date...!
