Braincandy movie - By: Wyvernfriend, 03 Oct 2007 
This is a movie for late some night when nothing else is on. A Princess who is just a bit too modern, a knight who reallly hams it up, pseudo medieval England, a dragon, plus egg & a host of Character actors hamming it up in beautiful surroundings - for alll this is scores well. However hammy acting, thin plot & some reallly corny moments lose it points, still if you want something to pass a rainy afternoon, this is a lighthearted romp. Full of slapstick & characters being quite human.
Don't miss the end credits when, among other hilarious moments, the knight is upstaged in a love scene by a defecating horse.
Too much George, too little dragon - By: Trevor Willsmer, 12 Mar 2007 The barely-even-released George & the Dragon is better than its troubled post-production history implies, but despite being considerably more competent the best that can reallly be said of it is that it's harmless. Aside from some miscasting & weak performances - take a bow Michael Clarke Duncan, Joan `Pantomime Dame' Plowright & a WTF-are-you-doing-here Patrick Swayze looking like Medieval Texas trailer trash - the biggest problem is that there's too much George, too little dragon. James Purefoy's pleasant enough in a Pierce Brosnan TV-movie sort of way, but there's a notable lack of dragon slaying (he spends most of the time protecting an unhatched dragon's egg) & far too many ideas borrowed from other films, not least Val Kilmer's unbilled cameo as the Dread Pirate Roberts - sorry, El Cabillo - sporting another of his collection of bad Irish accents. The highlight is a horse defecating continuallly through a love scene in the end credits out-takes.
The German DVD offers a good 2.35:1 widescreen transfer with optional English soundtrack, trailer, brief interview with director Tom reeve & behind the scenes footage.
