DragonHeart: Vengeance (2020) on Blu-ray – surprisingly solid fantasy on a budget.<br/><br/>I didn’t even know this series was still a thing. The original DragonHeart came out in 1996 with Sean Connery as the dragon and made enough money to be called a “success.” Mild, but enough.<br/><br/>Since then? Four sequels. Straight to video. And this one, Vengeance, is the latest entry.<br/><br/>Now here’s where it gets interesting: it’s not bad. The world-building is way more fleshed out than I expected, the cast actually delivers, and there’s a streak of humour that keeps it moving.<br/><br/>Honestly, it embarrasses some of the bloated fantasy films that did make it to theatres. Looking at you, Seventh Son and Gods of Egypt.<br/><br/>Ten bucks got me the Blu-ray, a DVD, and a digital code. No regrets.<br/><br/>@movies
My kiddo loved this one when she was younger.
I watched so many terrible direct to video sequels in my youth I avoid them harder than I do Netflix shows that I know will be canceled after 1 or 2 really good seasons.
Original was great.
