Dragons: Has there even been a good live action movie concerning dragons?

I remember really liking Reign of Fire back in 2002, that was a cool movie. Otherwise... ?

I've been wondering for a while now how popular dragons are with audiences from around the globe.

Dragon Heart was decent. Sean Connery was the voice of the dragon so it's hard to go wrong.

DragonHeart was pretty good. from 96.Ontain

Dungeons & Dragons. Well, it's a cheesy movie to make fun of at least...mindstorm

This is one of the few movies I started watching and had to shut off.

they are busy remaking every cartoon from the 80's, wait for thundercats.

Dragon Heart.

Also really liked the syfy channel movie :Dragon Sword(also called George and the dragon)

Loved that movie, best syfy channel original movie ever IMO

Dragonheart was a absolute beast movie. Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Pete Postlethwaite etc etc. Epic.

Best dragon movie would have to How To Train Your Dragon. :)bobdood99

Does Never Ending Story count?

Harry Potter 4

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire :P

I think sucker punch will have dragons in it.

It's not any good but Dragon Wars. Seriously we need a good live dragon movie, something more like Reign of Fire. Maybe a Reign of Fire prequel...?

Eragon.....err wait.CoolSkAGuy

:lol: Kevin Costner wasn't in Dragonheat, are you mad? It was Dennis Quaid.

Edit: It's a great film though, I tend to cry when I watch it, he's the last dragon :cry:

Unless you see the horrendous sequel!Theokhoth

I still look back fondly on early 80's fantasy flick Dragonslayer. The effects were really not that bad for the time and budget, and it totally felt like a D&D campaign brought to life. Your enjoyment of the movie would probably depend on whether that description fills you with delight or revulsion.xaos

That movie is one of the true fantasy movies of motion picture.. Its right up there with Conan The Barbarian of classic fantasy movies.. Make it even more startling, the special effects.. Especially with the dragon, look extremely good even by today's standards..

I'm hoping the Hobbit will be.Mr_Alexander

Same here. The Hobbit was way better then the LOTR books, in my opinion. I just hope they'll do the book justice.

Dragon Wars, crappy south korean movie.... but if you like dragon movies, you already have pretty crappy taste in cinema.

There is one hilarious scene of an old lady trying to walk through a fence though.
