George and the Dragon (2004)

5.5/10

Good concept with a great cast but poor and very rushed execution.

Tagline: A knight returning from the Crusades takes on a dragon and becomes a legend.

James Purefoy, Piper Perabo and Patrick Swayze stars in this crusade comedy. A wonderful cast, could not save this poorly written and rushed film.

Character development is poorly done, and the story felt extremely rushed. The dialogue attempted at being humorous, but only achieved a faint tint of cheesiness that wasn't very classy.The princess (played by Perabo) was suppose to be this pro-protecting of dragons but her relationship with the female dragon and the reason for her disappearance wasn't well established.

It is a good film for kids to watch as the underlining message is very positive and in favour of protecting dragons instead of slaying them. But the story could have been with a tighter knit dialogue and slowing down the sequence of events.
