Reign of Fire (2002)
4/10
One giant big plot hole
28 July 2002
Warning: Spoilers
I'm wondering how a movie about a global war between humans

and dragons could be so boring.

From the incredible misleading poster, one would assume that

there would be some good action and battles in the movie. there

are but not like you think. spoilers-No helicopters versus dragons. A dragon does attack a

helicopter briefly. No tanks versus dragons. Mostly humans versus

dragons. Or rather humans versus one or two dragons.

Most of the movie is spent setting up why dragons attack or what

what happened after the prologue and before the main section of

the story takes place. What is really does is set up giant plot holes

that make the story look like a dragon sized slice of wafer thin

swiss cheese.

The acting is good, but so what , it is in service to nothing. There is

also no humor at all. So it's hard to like anyone, because they are

are all so damn serious. No humor or tongue in cheek in a movie

about earth vs. dragons? A serious misfire.

It would be one thing to take the tone completely serious if it is

gonna be serious non-stop brutal action. But they don't do that,

there is very little action. Actually with the exception of the movie

looking big it seems like some low budget b-movie without the

money to do what the premise needs it to do.

Very disappointing. Lots of missed potential. It feels like it was

over-edited and re-worked because of bad first screenings.

Someone chopped this movie into a big mess.
