Lack of good storyline.
hyped garbage

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Seriously, when I first saw the styling of the new baby dragon, I expected it to swallow a turtle any moment on the way and sprout angel wings. It looks too much like Yoshi, like a baby and the sad thing is that I have yet only talked about the dragon.Christopher Masterson and Robby Benson are spectacularly out of talent during this lot, a spineless cast trying to bare the weight of complete and utter failure. The underdog recipe has been tried honestly for over a thousand times, on twenty different types of movies, but in most cases, this one included, it does not inspire pity nor does it add something to the experience of watching this.Then there are the brace of peeps that watch this thing for its special effects; trust me when I say that they are quite bad. So... is there anything at all making it you worthwhile to watch this? No.
As far as sequels go, this one is about average.It lacks the style and substance of the first and substitutes any attempt to go with legend and/or myth, with fluff and "cuteness," giving it a much softer (non-existent) edge.The performances were also lacking, dangling there somewhere below the original, but not so low as to be considered within the land of the putrid.Draco is dead. LONG LIVE DRACO! but there is a new Dragon to take his place. He's a baby Dragon. (Awe! Ain't he cute?! NO!) He has to learn everything, and there is a Chinese soothsayer who is there specifically to teach him. But he's also there to kill him.Confused? That's OK. It's a very easy plot to follow, so it will spin itself well in a nice, even, straight line for you. No twists, no surprises, just...exactly what you expect.The effects are a bit better, but the stars are gone, and so this project was left with little talent, and less hope. I own it, just because I got this thing about collecting all the parts of something. There are few I don't have all the parts to (like Exorcist. don't' have 2, don't want it, etc.)All in all, I can't give this more than a 5.3/10, and realistically, I'm being generous.the Fiend :.
i thought that it was better than the first,but that is my opinion.i know that many others think this film was bogus.but the first one had more action in it and thats why.but the girl in this one was outrageous.so you don't half to agree on this one.
*MAYBE POSSIBLE SPOILER* Sorry, but I'm afraid to say I disliked this movie. I've seen Dragonheart many, many times (which isn't really a children's movie), but when I saw this one, was surprised to see that's what it is. A children's movie, I mean. No appearance by Pete Postlethwaite doesn't help, either. And since when did dragons breathe ice? You'd think the fire and ice would cancel out or explode or something, but anyway, If you liked Draco in Dragonheart, see this one because Drake (The young dragon) is the only similarity to the first film. And even then, only marginally. 1.5 out of 5.
