Its unusual approach to the fantasy genre makesReign of Fireone ofthe best dragon movies of all time.
However, despite its interesting premise and star-packed cast, the movie did not impress critics.
Reign of Firehas a 41% positive critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Christian Bale plays Quinn, who witnessed the dragon’s awakening.
Quinn and Creedy’s growing desperation informs their characters and explains much of Quinn’s hostility to Van Zan.
This juxtaposition makesReign of Fireunintentionally hilarious at times.
Reign of Firemight have several genres and ideas packed into one movie, but it is never boring.
Beyond that,Reign of Fireleft the door open for a future story.
In a dragon-ravaged England, a British survivor and an American ally fight to stop fire-breathing dragons seeking global dominance after centuries underground. The Brit, leading survivors, aims to slay the King of the Dragons, driven by his mother’s death in a dragon attack and the hope of safeguarding his still-living love.
