Storyline

Patrick Stewart voices Drago, the magnificent dragon who became bonded with King Gareth. When the king 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.

Not good but not horrible

Ok so I went into this movie expecting it to be bad....really bad. The acting sucks and the dragon looks horrible. This is just another example of Hollywood trying to capitalize on something that was good. Based on the original movie can there even be a sequel? There is something about captain Picard voicing a dragon that I don't know.....DOESN'T WORK. Maybe I'm biased but I remember the original dragon was Sean Connery. That was a good voice. A dragon is old and should be wise so naturally the voice should be old as well. Seriously having Patrick Stewart voice a dragon is like Justin Bieber be the voice of Yoda. There really wasn't a hidden message, the feminist movement would be insulted by the weak story of the female lead the sibling rivalry story was pointless and unconvincing. Outside of that the movie is more of a boredom flick then anything else. Maybe someone should do a prequel sequel to justify this movie. Just kidding. Prequels suck.
