When the King Gareth dies, his potential heirs, twin grandchildren who possess the dragon’s unique strengths, use their inherited powers against each other to vie for the throne. When Drago’s source of power – known as the Heartfire – is stolen, more than the throne is at stake; the siblings must end their rivalry with swords and sorcery or the kingdom may fall.

Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire Audience Reviews

More Review
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
grisharkramer I must preface this review by saying I love trash. When I saw that the fourth Dragonheart movie was on Netflix I couldn't have been more thrilled. I was astonished when I saw the opening sequence, and could not believe how genuinely I was enjoying the directors touch. I usually watch this sort of thing to enjoy the flaws, and luckily soon after the credits it really starts to deliver on that front. The acting is actually fine, but the script delivers some genuinely terrible lines, most notably "A man's smell is his soul." There's a beautiful "Hey you are the King do some charming King stuff" montage. Patrick Stewart uses all his acting power to convey to the audience that he didn't want to be in a sound booth that day and that he has genuine disdain like the script, and also that he's reading it in the sound booth for the first and last time.The director and the costume designer are wonderful and deserve to work again with way more money. As far as whoever "wrote" the screenplay, thanks for all the chuckles.The CGI looks real bad.In closing: Directing 10/10 Costumes 10/10 Cinematography 10/10 Acting 9/10 (Except Patrick Stewart who is purposefully awful) Script 1/10 CGI 1/10 Stunt Choreography 7/10So it's a real mixed bag. If you love trash, it's beautifully shot and competently acted and everything else is hot garbage.
Bob Rutzel In the days of Knights and Dragons, Twins are born. The girl Meghan (Bliss-Bell) and the boy Edric (Harries) and both are born with dragon skin on their bodies and both have Dragon-like powers, but not the same ones. Edric sends Meghan away so the villagers cannot kill her for being a witch as she has a talent for manipulating fire. After the king dies Drago (voice of Patrick Stewart) must find the one with whom his heart is bonded with. He finds Edric. Meghan returns with a horde of Vikings and wants to be Queen as she has the right of the first born. Drago, a friendly Dragon, must find a way for these two to end their rivalry. I enjoyed much of this but I felt many scenes were cut too short and we weren't really given a chance to embrace the times. I thought the main Viking bad guy Thorgrim (Andre Eriksen) would have more of an impact but Queen Meghan (and the script) kept him in place for the most part. The main plot has Meghan stealing Drago's Heartfire and that left Drago ineffective and this affected the whole story. The key to all was how to get the Heartfire away from Meghan. Hmmmm……The CGI was very good but not for the fights when the Vikings rebel and try to overthrow Meghan. Here we saw the camera speed things up to make it look like really fierce fighting, but looking closer we saw that was not the case. These fight scenes were kind of lame. Newcomers Tom Rhys Harries and Jessamine-Bliss Bell were outstanding in their roles and we will see more of them in future movies. The acting all around is very good. At times, some humor was injected into the dialogues, but not enough to suit me. Patrick Stewart as Drago should have been given more lines of humor, and this would have endeared us much more to the whole story. Didn't happen.All in all a fairly good tale, but short on realism in that everything was safe and nothing was harsh or brutal as it should have been. This gave this movie an " Oh, Hum" atmosphere. (5/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.
spacerogue Fun family Bmovie flick that's going to suffer from a few various trends -the hatred for Dragonheart sequels. -the current anti-PC culture that starts screeching about their hatred for feminism when a woman shows any sign of strength.All by all unwarranted negatives, this movie was surprisingly entertaining and well made. If you like medieval stories with dragons that aren't into burning humanity to the ground, it's certainly worth checking it out. And no, for the love of it, you do NOT need to see Dragonheart 3 to understand what's going on. In fact, if you have seen DH1 then I suggest skipping 2 and 3 entirely and go straight to 4.
davemfawcett Big fan of the first movie and went into this movie with no expectations having never heard of it. The Good; the CGI was respectable, the acting was god, Patrick Stewart is always a win; and root story was decent and had one decent plot twist. The Bad; it felt like the movie was in slow motion in the story telling much of the time. On one hand they needed to spend more time with the development of the early story, but the mid story dragged. The Ugly, too many plot holes and things the director and writers did to just move the story on without explanation. The Other, had they pursued more of the angle with (Slight Spoiler) the female lead character emboldening the women and wanting to be a good queen, I believe they could have made a much more rewarding ending. The ending, as is, was just ho-hum so what; predictable, leaving many questions from the final battle unanswered.
