Watched this movie back when it was released and today I caught it again on TV and I must say that this one is underrated in eyes of most viewers. The whole story could be about man fighting dragons, if you want a short description. But if you look deeper you've got so much more. There is story that actually holds water (with today premises when we destroy world we live in - in the beginning Quinn says that the world leaders tried to kill dragons but only the made more destruction;instead of dragons today there is people (states) fighting people (states)), there is some great acting coming from McConaughey, Bale and Butler (before he went to gym) and capable direction of Bowman coupled with very good special effects. People who dislike this movie maybe can't pass over dragons, but some people can't pass over Hobbits so what? Just unlock your imagination and enjoy cause this movie is not silly and it's not like plenty of other movies that offers you only fun without using your brain (of course you can always turn your brain off). For example think about what Van Zan said: 'Envy the country that has heroes, huh? I say pity the country that needs them.'
