Flangepart says, Check it out! A good, relaxing...well, for monster fans, ....time at the movies. Got a $5 matinee, to boot. It Has a lot of questionable plot holes, but it still makes for a good beer and pizza flick, and these days, thats all most of us need. I may post a Spoiler alert posting for those of us who have seen it, as i 've got some nits to pick (Oh joy). Its fun, and lively. Have at it! Back to you, Andrew!
I believe the Yanks are driving British tanks because they just picked them up when they arrived on the Isles instead of transporting them from America. Makes sense, seeing as any large scale migration would certainly involve lots of dragon attacks.
One plot hole explained! Huzzah!
(But wait, wouldn't the dragons have attacked all military strongholds on the Isles? That would have left the tanks and other military hardward incinerated. And how would they know where to find the tanks if there was no cooperation with the British military? There certainly aren't any Brits in their convoy. Damn. Looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight.)
Well, let's see. We have an idiot for a hero. How stupid is he? He's given an exploding arrow, DROPS it, and doesn't notice until he's run away! He waits until the big dragon is *almost on him* to start loading his crossbow. When faced with potentially hostile enemies, he goes outside the gates of his castle to talk to them, rather than staying behind it. He plants his crops far away from his castle, so far away it apparently takes all night to drive there.
We also have an incompetent, arrogant dickhead who disgraces whatever branch of the military he was in. He utilizes a plan that amounts to three men committing suicide to kill one dragon. He keeps his helicopter in the air almost constantly despite the fact he's low on fuel (and there's no chance of ever getting more). He kidnaps people from their homes to use as fodder and acts righteous about it. He leads his men into an area they can't escape from, an obvious trap, despite the patrolling helicopter that must have seen it from miles away.
Then we have the dragons themselves. They don't have personality, they are just big, dumb brutes. They eat ash, except when they eat people. There is one male -- ONE -- for the entire population. Not one male per flock, one male in the ENTIRE POPULATION. (Good thing, too, or else it would have been hard to make them go extinct.) They reproduce like fish, with the females laying eggs and the male flying over and spilling his load on them (the eggs, not the females). I'm not sure how that works since he never leaves his nesting ground, where there are no eggs in evidence. (This method of reproduction is only a theory of the idiots - er - protagonists, but it's apparently right since the dragons disappear after the male dies.)
I was prepared to like this movie but it was just too dumb. And if a movie is so dumb *I* don't like it, then, whoa.
Oh, yeah, and I never realized that fire has such immense concussive force. Heck, it can knock over stone walls!
Aren't dragons supposed to live for hundreds of years? if so, wouldn't all the females be around long after the male was killed?
Wellllllllllllllll....ya got a point. Actualy a LOT of points. This flick is fun for nit pickers. If the one remaing dragon is male....where did it get the eggs to Fertilise? And whats with the deal with a species that destroys its food source, canniblises itself to extinction, then puts all its eggs in one Male basket, to just do the same stupid thing all over agine.this whole SPECIES deserves the "Darwin award!".
Well, john, the film seems to indicate that the creatures were eating each other, and so, were dieing out. "Catfights"....might explain all the holes in the dragons wings! Proper aerodynamics my galaxy spanning ass!
