  Disappointed but it passed an hour
  
  A big let down after reading the book. It was a nice looking film though, good effects and I love Jeremy Irons in most things he does.

  Drag goning it out
  
  This is a perfectly average fantasy tale with a few twists.
  
  Personally I felt it was a little overlong.
  
  The Dragon cgi is amazing.

  Better than many others
  
  An enjoyable watch, much better than The Last Airbender or Clash of the Titans. Better than many other fantasy adventure films.
