Why would an angel need a gun? wouldn't they shoot lighting bolts or something? Glad I'm not a christian I won't have to worry about gun toting angles.

@GarnetLynne: A movie where God is the monster, and your quip is about angels with guns. A supposedly omnipotent enemy can't kill one woman on his own? He has to sent a legion of Stretch Armstrongs to do it for him.

@Ghede: I'm fine with that. They work well within these sorts of parameters in Sandman and books like Lucifer and Preacher. God wants something done, but God doesn't necessarily go and do them himself. If a powerful mobster wants someone rubbed out he sends his goons to do the dirty work.

I can't wait. It's not going to be a work of art. But I need to see angels shoot guns.

@Zyg: I find myself strangely attracted to this movie as well.

I sense a double feature looming with CONSTANTINE when this comes out on DVD.

(That would be another interesting topic for an IO9 article: great double features. I've always thought THE PHANTOM and THE SHADOW would make a great double feature; an awful lot of resonance between those two movies in terms of style and art direction.)

@Chip Overclock: You read my mind. I am really starting to look forward to this movie. End of the world, kicking-ass angles with guns? What's not to like? I also agree with your The Phantom and The Shadow points on style and visuals. I always thought those two movies should have been seen in a double feature at a drive-in.

@Chip Overclock: Good idea on the double feature.

Quick six-degrees of separation:
Alec Baldwin was in The Shadow and The Departed
which also starred Leonardo Dicaprio,
Leo was in Gangs of New York with Cameron Diaz,
Diaz was in There's Something About Mary,
which also had Ben Stiller, who starred in Zoolander with
Billy Zane of The Phantom.

@Zyg: So I take it no one else has seen the Aussie movie Gabriel, featuring the Archangel Gabriel indulging in a little Equilibrium-style gun play?
Admittedly it wasn't the greatest movie ever, but I liked it for its darkness, and its very un-shiny angels.

Sweet nostalgia. I remember seeing this movie in theaters with my dad. Even to this day, if mention is made of Romans in Britain I think about Einon and his fortress.

Incidentally, my friend had a cat named Einon. [Yes, I just looked up the spelling on imdb. I'm not that good]

I hate this film. I hate it for all the right reasons. Its bloody great. But it made me cry like a big fuckin girl infront of all my friends. I walked it off as they took the piss. But then watching it years later with the missus.....I cried like a girl again. What is it with me and Dragons!!!!

me and my girlfriend at the time scored preview tickets and we loved it.

knowing my Ex was seriously into Dragon's and us wanting to see it again, we took her along to see it.

the movie get's to the scene where Draco first appears fully flying from the waterfall when my ex yells without thinking

'I WANT TO F*** THAT DRAGON!!!!!!!'

I was laughing so hard....

I know that Dragonheart had its detractors, but I really liked that movie. Especially Pete Postlethwaite.

i thought this movie wasa lot of fun.i must take it home from the store and watch it again soon.

on another point i for one am getting sick of CGI MOVIES.I am watching Cleopatra and remembering how it was to watch a real film with 1,000's of real people,real sets,real costumes,etc.Movies like Cleopatra,Ben Hur,etc....I wonder if the will ever make a film again with a cast of 1,000's.

I loved this movie and in general I am not a Dennis Quaid fan because I am tired of him pretending he's Harrison Ford. But this movie rocked. It was also the first thing I saw David Thewlis in.

I had never even heard of Dragonheart but somehow magically came into possession of the VHS. (Seriously, one day it was just in my collection...and my VHS collection is small and generally pretty purposeful.)

Also, I was just watching an episode of Saved by the Bell in which Kelly says she wishes she could take Dennis Quaid to the dance.

What's my point? The only person possibly more awesome than Sean Connery is Dennis Quaid.

This is such a fun little movie.

And the soundtrack is obscenely good as well.

@Sunshineyness: Blattella: Randy Edleman's original score for this movie became was probably the most overused stock music for a while.

The Academy Awards kept using it for their tacky dead people montages and it was the go to song for movie trailers that needed generic 'uplifting hero music'.

That and Jerry Goldsmith's Judge Dread trailer score were sort of like the Lux Aterna for mid to late 90s.

@omgwtflolbbqbye: Yeah, I know, but call me corny but I still really like it. I actually used to play it in the background when I was working on a fantasy novel a bit back. And before that my brother used to play it (along with a bunch of other fantasy-ish cd's) whenever he was gaming.

Is it just me, or have you guys been posting a bunch of Dennis Quaid videos lately? Is this some series I don't know fully know about?

Or were you just infected with Pandorum?

Not that I'm complaining, though. Dragonheart is a great movie.
