Where was the dragon?

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2004)

Just seen this film and although enjoyable in it's own rights it was not a patch on the first one. The best thing about the first movie was, in my opinion, the dragon. The worst thing about the follow up was that she did not make an appearance until after the final credits! I audibly cheered when that happened but she was only on for a few seconds and then - puff!- the film was over. It seems to me that they must have had some feedback about the lack of our scaly friend and so decided to put her in at the last minute and in the last minute as well. That just isn't good enough. I'm afraid i cannot recommend this film to anyone, both my children were disappointed and so was I.
