Dragonheart: Vengeance - Movie Review

Another Sequel?

The original Dragonheart movie came out in 1996 with Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery. The movie told a great story with impressive special effects for its time. Since then, there have been now four direct to video/disc/digital. The first sequel was Dragonheart: A New Beginning in 2000. These two are essentially the final stories even though they were the first movies released.

When they started releasing the new movies, the stories are actually based in the past making these all prequels to the original movie which was the only one to be shown in theaters. Each new movie is a sequel to the third movie, Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse released in 2015. In 2017, Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire was released. In 2020, Dragonheart: Vengeance was released.

Review

In each of the movies, a well know actor has played the voice of the dragon in the movies. What made this movie different was the dragon was female this time played by Helena Bonham Carter. The movie had a slow start showing its low budget with story. The movie did end up getting better after 20 minutes and you started to care about the characters. I did end up enjoying the movie and was not disappointed in adding it to my collection.

Rating

I would give this a solid SD movie. If you want to complete your collection, I would recommend picking it up for $5. Otherwise, you can watch this movie on Netflix which added it the same day the movie was released on disc and digital. I picked up my HD copy from Family Video with a 3 for $21 offer.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...
