I saw the movie in theatres over here and I thought it was an 'ok' movie. Not close to being 'good' but it was 'ok'.
It could have been alot better then it was. It was too short and just too bland.

Rags, I agree, the trailer had a lot of potential (dragons, helicopters and bald men running around with axes) but the movie just lost it for me.

Can you tell me what the point of those blokes jumping out of helicopters were? I still couldn't work out what they were trying to do

It's been awhile since I saw the movie but IIRC they jumped out of the helicopters with guns with huge nets in them. They would then get around the Dragon and shoot those guns to make the net cover it and cause to not be able to fly. It would then fall to the ground and they would kill it.

I tried the whole capture with nets thing with my overweight maths teacher, didn't work though, in fact she capsized my desk while she was at it!

reign of fire was well worth the price i paid to see it. i won free tkts off the radio so it didnt cost me a thing. but i still enjoyed it.

Mlmbd, if by "interesting", you mean total hogwash then I totally agree with you.

Nuclear Catapult Type III?? you damn north americans are so impractical, you always want sexy hi-tech equipment to play with and dont think how to solve the situation with the materials readily at hand...

All you need to fire a thermonuclear hand grenade a "safe" distance is a "Y" shaped piece of wood (or table edge or hatstand) and a piece of knicker eLastic such as those normally found holding the reinforced super-strength gusset protectors worn by old ladies.... the tensile strength of said knicker eLastic is generally sufficient to launch large objects into orbit, let alone a nuclear hand grenade a few miles!!

I saw Reign of Fire a few months ago. It was OK. But it seemed rather unbelievable that a few guys armed with small weapons and explosives can defeat the dragons, when the dragons were strong enough to wipe out the entire military force of the whole world.

Growltigger · #**2349** January 28th, 2003, 11:46 AM

Kamog, that is what I thought about the movie. It is a pity cos I really think Christian Bale is a great actor. Oh well, I missed the whole net thing with the paratroopers, they seemed to jump out purely to either hit the ground at speed or get scoffed by the dragon (yuk, I really dont like watching people get eaten)..

The kittie girl is quite cute, but personally, red-heads scare me

Impactical? I think not Kittie Kat! And the "Nuclear Catapult Type III" is readily at hand. It is hand held. Very similar to your very antaquated 'Sling Shot' (no matter where the eLastic comes from). The main difference, I don't need to chase some old woman down.
