Granted, when I sat down in 2022 to watch the 2015 adventure fantasy movie "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" for the first time, I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from director
Colin Teague. Yet, as I hadn't already seen the movie, of course I found the time to do so.
The storyline told in "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" was actually adequate enough. Sure, it wasn't a particularly outstanding adventure fantasy movie, but it was actually entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. And yeah, I was adequately entertained by the movie, no doubt about it.
However, the movie feels somewhat rushed and superficial, as the storyline never really takes times to let the audience delve deep into whatever is being pushed through the storyline at a rapid pace. On that account, then director Colin Teague was sort of delivering a halfhearted movie.
Visually then "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" wasn't an impressive movie. The special effects and CGI definitely worked as intended, but for a movie from 2015, then the CGI felt inferior. The movie, being a fantasy adventure and all, would definitely have benefitted a lot from having greater effects and greater CGI.
The cast ensemble in "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" was all unfamiliar faces for me, and that was actually a good thing. I enjoy watching new talents and faces in movies, especially since they aren't associated with other previous characters and movies. So that worked well for me. The only known perfomer here, for me at least, was the voice of Ben Kingsley, as the voice of Drago.
Sure, "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" can be watched and enjoyed for what it is, especially if you are a fan of the fantasy and adventure genre. But don't get your hopes up, because this is not an outstanding foray into the genre.
My rating of "Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse" lands on a five out of ten stars.
