Customer Reviews of Dragonslayer
Deeper than it appears This movie is one of those underrated little gems that turn up every now and then. It is a movie that is a bit darker than the usual Disney fare and I would definately put it in the same vain as "The Black Hole", though not quite as good. The movie is about a kingdom that is terrorized by a dragon and forced to sacrifice young maidens to the beast to apease it. The common folk try to enlist the help of a wizard to aid them, but when he dies suddenly all they are left with is the aid of the wizard's young apprentice Galen. The story is surprisingly good and a little deeper than first meets the eye. The tale does become a little dark and it deals with issues of class and privillege between the aristocrats and common folk of the kingdom. The movie does suffer from a lack of star power as the only name I recognise is Peter MacNicol from "Ally MacBeal" fame (it's the Biscuit!) and some of the acting is downright bad. I thought this was a good story though and the quaint special effects endear it to me even more. All in all I give it 3.5 stars rounded down.
old sci fi movie review
Liked the old wizard better, young one's kinda fruity, movie's kool all around, worth the money, great special effects for its time, and good show by mostly unknowns.
Nostalgia and cult classics.
I can remember when my local tv station would run this movie once a year on sunday mornings, and occasionally late friday nights when it was basically out of options. At its time, this movie had great special effects. Also as far as a disney production, this movie explores some very dark themes, as well as developing an incredible storyline. Unfortunately poor acting and slightly slow pacing prevented this title from reaching a huge audience like modern fantasy movies. Dragonslayer is an essential reference for any study of the history of fantasy moviemaking. As a unique storline made before everything coming out of hollywood followed formulaic principiles, this movie is an absolute gem. I highly reccommend this movie for viewers with refined tastes.
