When the King Gareth dies, his potential heirs, twin grandchildren who possess the dragon’s unique strengths, use their inherited powers against each other to vie for the throne. When Drago’s source of power – known as the Heartfire – is stolen, more than the throne is at stake; the siblings must end their rivalry with swords and sorcery or the kingdom may fall.

Too much of everything
Best movie ever!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ok so I went into this movie expecting it to be bad....really bad. The acting sucks and the dragon looks horrible. This is just another example of Hollywood trying to capitalize on something that was good. Based on the original movie can there even be a sequel? There is something about captain Picard voicing a dragon that I don't know.....DOESN'T WORK. Maybe I'm biased but I remember the original dragon was Sean Connery. That was a good voice. A dragon is old and should be wise so naturally the voice should be old as well. Seriously having Patrick Stewart voice a dragon is like Justin Bieber be the voice of Yoda. There really wasn't a hidden message, the feminist movement would be insulted by the weak story of the female lead the sibling rivalry story was pointless and unconvincing. Outside of that the movie is more of a boredom flick then anything else. Maybe someone should do a prequel sequel to justify this movie. Just kidding. Prequels suck.
This was not a good movie. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. 3 stars at the most. Much of the action was predictable and the story was all too similar to many others. It's time (past time) to retire this franchise.The forth installment is a failure!
A dragon known as Drago tries to end the rivalry between a brother and sister, both having dragon-like powers, who are after the throne of their grandfather while a new threat steals Drago source of power. Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire is one of those films that i expected to suck really hard but it ended up surprising me a hell a lot. For instance the acting is really good, Patrick Stewart as Drago is perfect voice casting because he does have a great and iconic voice. The whole story with the 2 twins was interesting enough and sad enough for me to care. The movie even has an unexpected ending that it really moved me plus there are some great fight sequences and some pretty good humor that brings more levity to the film. The characters were also pretty well return and i really liked Edric and Meghan's characters and last but not least it actually has some pretty damn good cgi effects for a straight to DVD sequel. Overall i would advice you to give this film a chance it might surprise you just like it did with me. It's definitely a rent for me!!!
Fun family Bmovie flick that's going to suffer from a few various trends -the hatred for Dragonheart sequels. -the current anti-PC culture that starts screeching about their hatred for feminism when a woman shows any sign of strength.All by all unwarranted negatives, this movie was surprisingly entertaining and well made. If you like medieval stories with dragons that aren't into burning humanity to the ground, it's certainly worth checking it out. And no, for the love of it, you do NOT need to see Dragonheart 3 to understand what's going on. In fact, if you have seen DH1 then I suggest skipping 2 and 3 entirely and go straight to 4.
