Editorial Reviews

A special-effects laden medieval fantasy adventure, Dragonslayer centers on the attempts of a young sorcerer's apprentice to defeat a vicious dragon and save a lovely young maiden. Peter MacNicol stars as the young Galen, an aspiring magician under the tutelage of the aging Ulrich (Ralph Richardson). A nearby village turns to the pair for help when their leader begins proffering sacrifices of young virgins to satisfy a vicious dragon. The two immediately set out for battle, becoming even more determined when a courageous princess offers to sacrifice herself to the creature. Unfortunately, Ulrich's failing abilities force Galen into the center of the conflict, where the uncertain young boy must prove himself under fire. The suitably mythic if somewhat predictable story is told straightforwardly, culminating in a spectacular battle against the beast, featuring Academy Award-nominated visual effects. Despite its visual flair and relatively positive reviews, the film received mediocre response at the box office, as some criticized the film's violence as too intense for its intended younger audiences.

June 26, 2009: This fim has withstood the test of time with all of its special effects. Great casting & filming. One of Peter McNichols earliest roles. If you like Dragons then you'll love this one.

May 25, 2008: i saw this when i was a kid but remember one or three scenes. this was a weird and creepy film about i think a beginner sorceror, meets a shy woman and of course the sacrifice girl to a dragon type thing. caught this film again on tv and was glad to see it again. i love dragons and fantasy type films especially those that were back in the 80s with little and i mean little CGI and stuff. those were the days that movies were awesome. oh well long live the dragon. this is one of those movies you remember but forgot the name.
