As expected at the production stage, Netflix's "He's a Dragon" did not surpass its predecessor.
Happy Women's Day to all! Don't forget that we have it every day, not just on March 8th!🥰
The film is simply amazing from the graphics to the idea of casting. The ending with the dragon was mega epic
The new princess is so strong and Independent that she goes and cuts wood for her people 💪
The harsh state in the North is suffering from hunger and poverty, and the glorious king, in order to help his people, came up with a brilliant solution - to give his eldest daughter to marry a rich prince and get gold.
This point is not fully understood, they agreed on a certain amount that if the king gives his daughter married, he will be paid a million or gold coins, or every month they will pay a pension allowance, or the screenwriters have stopped talking about this, but we should know that father King did a noble thing, he thought about his people.
In general, he gave his daughter to the prince to marry, but the prince and his mother were still thieves who could think, and it turns out that the princess is needed in order to throw her into a deep mine to eat the Dragon.
For several centuries now, this rich kingdom has been sacrificing Princess girls to a bloodthirsty dragon, in exchange for the fact that the Dragon will not attack the kingdom.
In general, mother Queen conducts a special ceremony, and the prince picked up his newly minted wife, throws her into a deep mine.
Surprisingly, the mine is very deep, and like a princess, and before that, other sacrificed princesses fell and did not break their necks. This is where the script protection spell works, you need to understand.
Our main character shouted a little, which, by the way, woke up the Dragon, went to explore the cave passages. And then, after meeting the dragon, she began to run away. Classic.
But still, this is a Netflix movie, but an ordinary girl would have died of fear long ago, but not the eleventh. She began to hide and run away, at the same time tearing her clothes, turning into a super fighter.
By the end of the film, she is pumping up so much of her skill, just running around in a cave, picking up a sword and killing a toothy lizard with knives from a friend. But not to death, but only wounded.
What this movie is about, for whom it was shot - it's not clear what the fuck. Almost tracing paper from a Monster Hunter, but there you believe the plot, because the heroine is the commander of an elite military special unit, which is why she so deftly crumbles monsters.
There's a princess here. Where she upgraded so much, gained combat skills and tactical techniques is not clear. The men of war and the Knights simply robbed the dragon, even NC managed to inflict some damage on it, and then the princess almost finished off the reptile, spared it.
The film is stupid, there are stupid moments, like when the sister of the main character was wounded by a dragon, she runs up to her and checks her pulse with two fingers.. Yeah, it's in the Middle Ages, with super medicine. Or when the main character is just standing in an open space and the raging dragon just sneaks up on her, and does not even burn with fire, although a few minutes earlier she burned everything with fire.
In short, this entertaining film does not perform the main function, the movie is boring and not interesting. A point for watching special effects, and a point for the operator's work and natural views, the rest in the furnace
- money may not be able to escape from hunger, if you buy food from those who gave money, they can suddenly raise prices and ...
- the pit into which princesses are thrown is so deep that everyone, without exception, would land with a wet slap on the stones
- why are we talking about 3 princesses? There were significantly more of them there
- the dragon quite calmly climbs out of his cave wherever he pleases, I suppose he should be fed, everyone in the kingdom and the nearest neighbors would know about the existence of such a scourge, and what prevented him from doing what he did in the end?
- the main character deigned to execute everyone who did not escape, although it was possible to assume that an extremely narrow circle of initiates took part in the organization of such a thing
- the princess doesn't really turn into Rimbaud, but she still stabs the dragon, because he loses his dexterity, ranged combat skills with all his limbs, tail and mouth, forgets how to pour fire and only tries to grab the heroine with his paw for the scenic armor.
On the plus side, yes, the dragon and its flame are well made. Although it is clear here that they took Jackson's Smaug as a basis. And that's probably it.
There are very few natural species, there is a studio and superimposed backdrops, I would not single out the camerawork.
The idea itself is interesting, but only at the level of the idea, but the implementation is the bottom. The film, which is similar in content, is a Descent. Where the girls explorers of deep caves encountered evil underground cannibal creatures living in the bowels of the cave. But the film is structured logically and clearly. The main character, she is not superman, she does not scatter monsters right and left. She is strong in spirit and uses all possible options to stay alive. Watching the movie, you see a real person with a huge desire to survive, and you worry about the heroine.
And in this film there is no sympathy or emotion. On one or two, she deals with the dragon. Why did she run away from him at all, when she could deal with him without any problems, there are plenty of swords and armor in the cave.
This is the main mistake of the film. Netflix puts the femme agenda at the forefront, its heroine is already strong a priori because she is a woman. There is no character development. It's like DC comics - you don't worry about Superman because he's strong. And when you watch Batman vs Superman, most viewers have sympathy for Batman, because he is an ordinary person who uses his mind and wit.
It's the same here. From the beginning of the film, we are shown how the princess cuts firewood and carries it to the castle. We already understand that she is not a timid person, and her future fate does not care much.
But what if the film showed a sweet and fragile girl (actress Millie Bobby Brown is just a cutie) for whom picking up a sword is not a familiar action. And let her be enveloped in horror and fear of the dragon, let her run away from him, but as the plot progresses, the heroine grows. The craving to survive and escape is replaced by a craving for justice, for revenge on the dragon for other innocently murdered girls, for two centuries there have been quite a few of them. I think it's much more interesting to watch the character grow.
The introduction of the drama that first people killed the dragon cubs, it doesn't work. Since we don't know what kind of dragon it is, maybe it burns fields, eats cattle and people, and killing its offspring is a sure option to avoid even greater danger. Why should we worry about this drama without exposure?
Therefore, the film is weak, without a central idea, without a clear plot. The heroine was saved because at first she almost killed the dragon, and then she regretted it.
And then she burned down the whole castle, in fact, organizing the genocide of the kingdom. And then they went off into the sunset on the ship... why? Conquer another kingdom and arrange genocide for the inhabitants there? Happy ending)
I also agree on the lack of a character arch. The heroine is immediately strong, even when she screams (it's unclear why, but few people care), because she screams not out of fear, but out of anger.
I recommend the movie!
But in comparison with the book, it loses very much, of course. In the book, the characters are revealed more interestingly, and who Victoria is becomes clear, and the ending will be tastier
This is a fiasco when the dragon does not understand that the king cannot have children of three races at once - black, Asian and white.🤦♂️
They would have already slept only on the different hair color of three princesses from the same bloodline🤣
If you don't take into account that the dragon is stupid, why did you need to carry the nobles when you could catch any young girl, cut her hand, drop your blood and throw it into a cave. At the end of the film, the queen still screamed that she was a commoner ... ... logically, the victim's blood does not matter after the royal blood is dripped into it🤔
I wonder if the dragon would be surprised to see the third victim, who seems to be a filipina at all🤣
A life hack for a king in such a situation. Make yourself female bastards and don't worry🙈
The plot? It'll do for a fairy tale, but it's still nothing new. By nature? There is no such thing, just scenery and graphics.
A film for children who do not know other films and fairy tales will do fine, for sophisticated viewers this is a very weak movie, Robin Wright does not even save.
The film is too pretentious, feigned, dialogues, monologues, all from the category of Russian TV series by type: "YES, I LOVE YOU."
2 stars purely for a good ending. If this Elodie had killed the dragon, there would clearly be 1 star. But also how much she "crippled" the dragon does not color the story at all
Emotions were not fully felt and revealed , or something
And so it's quite nothing
It's strange that the dragon did not understand for so many years that she was being fucked, that is, she felt the royal blood, but did not distinguish someone else's blood from hundreds of wounds of hundreds of girls?
Yes, too, you are regularly fed three daughters, how many do you need to give birth to? Yes, and all of different nationalities.
Plus, Elodie tried to talk to the dragon, but she wouldn't listen, and when she killed dad, didn't she feel that he wasn't the king either?) Did you decide that you killed the king or what?
In short, in this regard, the plot is sagging and very much. A good rating purely for a good idea, a beautiful picture and Millie, as well as everything else at an average level
There were a lot of illogical moments that were infuriating, but the picture and outfits are beyond praise :)
