5/10
17 minutes of fun, then *Yawn*

Warning: Spoilers
Val Kilmner was great for the 90 secs he's in it. The comedy was top notch, slapstick Monty-Python style. Patrick Swayze looked bored, like he would rather be surfing than riding a horse. The princess is great, that perfect mix of sass and feminity (a' la' Princess Leia) and she can take on three large picts without having to boot to the groin! I never knew bowling was originally done by hanging people upside down and using their head as the ball.

Then the movie gets boring. The story keeps rolling along, with the good guys trying to protect a dragon egg, the last of the dragons. The humor stops, completely. The story, (much less, the boring drab sets) is just not strong enough to hold interest. They spent the 32 million budget on a few actors and a few nice camera shots and the dragon (all 3 or 4 scenes). The battle scene at the end doesn't do anything to grab your interest back. Micheal Clark Duncan's reappearance can't save it. If you fall asleep during this one, don't worry, all the fun was at the beginning.
