Dragons Unionize
8 August 2015
Why don't female dragons have female voices (will one did, "Eragon"), but all the rest that happen to have human vocal cords seem to sound like Sean Connery. Leaving aside total animation films, those with joint human/reptile billing seem to not be able to decide if dragons are nasty or puppy dog nice (at least to the right person). Bad list - Potter, Dragonslayers, Hobbit, Reign. Nice list - How to Train, Neverending, Dragonhearts, Game. Westerners think they flew about in the, ball park, middle ages. Easterners place them at least 4000 BCE when the Earth was a cube. Ahhh, the fun begins when superstition and religion encounter dinosaur fossils - what imaginations.

Well, this film's particular dragon actor had great CGI which was easy to accomplish since the computer graphics code was already written and the dragon look already established in many films dating back to the '80s. The storyline was "Game of Thrones" borrowing (haha, stating it tamely) with wall, tribes, eggs and general overall feel. Creative storytelling, dialogue and acting would get a barely passing grade from a middle school film critiquing class.
