Dragons, check.
Bale, check.
McConaughey (with a southern accent even though they or in the UK), check.
Star Wars shout out, check! Who needs a plot is you have all of that?!

I particularly find this whole sequence absolutely adorable.

It has Christian Bale with dead parents and shirtless fighting. This means it is basically Batman with dragons.

I'm gonna re-watch it. I actually downloaded it last night.

Which I realize is ten times more attention than I should give a movie with helicopters almost fighting dragons- but even crap can have clever moments.

I couldn't watch this because whenever they put a dragon on the screen, my wife would not stop bitching that holes in the dragon's wings would prevent flight and how stupid it looked. I tried to argue the fallacy of logic entering a place where Matthew Mc-however-you-spell-his-name jumps from a tower with a handmade axe at a Dragon or people parachute from helicopters in an attempt to net them (which would require herculean timing and a freaking mathmatical model to figure out), but no. Every time one comes on. Giggle, annoyed sigh.
Granted, we couldn't watch Snakes on a Plane without giggling as we named each of the (often non-deadly) snake that was harrassing the hapless passengers. (OH NO A CORN SNAKE! BE CAREFUL!)
She also made me watch D-Wars, and I still haven't forgiven her for that.

@Evdor: What's your wife's opinion of this guy?

Well, if I cant pick Dragonslayer, then I'm out of ammo.

The only complaint that I have about the entire film, from the first time I saw it, to this day, is McConaughey's suicide play at the end. Yes, we knew he was going to die once he jumped... but he didn't go out in a badass blaze of glory; he went out with a wet crunch. That's the one thing that still irks me to this day.

"NOOOO, I DO!"
I will leave it up to you, dear readers, as to which actor says which line.

Also, Christian Bale back when I was trying to convince everyone he'd be a great Batman and some *serious* UK accents. My poor dad could barely follow along.
