This movie is quiet nice, but after watching it I feel like there is something that stop this movie from being GREAT, somehow it could have been much better... Maybe the main problem is the main character, he was a little bit too soft, he didn't seem to be able to defeat in single-handed combat the warrior nor the dragon, but somehow he beat them without showing a convincing way of fighting, well actually he couldn't kill the dragon but that was more the fault of the blacksmith... Yeah, I think that's something that I didn't like so much, the character could have looked a little bit more like a man, but he looked more like a child... maybe that was the idea of Disney, to make it popular among children... But besides this and some other small details the movie is nice, I enjoyed the fact that the princess dies and she's eaten by the dragons, I am sure that no one expected that! The special effects are cool, more if we consider the time when this was made!... I would give this film 8/10 (good) but the song at the end annoyed me a little bit... this kind of details are also important.
