Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The scenes involving the dragon are first-rate. The beast is one of the meanest, ugliest, most reprehensible creatures I've ever seen in a film, and when it breathes flames it looks like it's really breathing flames.

rotten:
Verges on the nasty for the nippers; sails close to deja vu for fantasy fans; fated, probably, to damnation by faint praise.

rotten:
A well intentioned fantasy with some wonderful special effects, Dragonslayer falls somewhat short on continuously intriguing adventure.

The film excels as a visual exercise, as a study in adolescent psychology, and even as astute political analysis.

This movie has two big things going for it -- the dragon and the man who masterminds its slaying.
