I rented this because of happy memories of Dragonslayer, and in terms of FX it did not disappoint. But the trailer, which implied that there was some credible progression in the dragons' takeover and not just the discovery of one male and then a survival existence, was a complete phony. Christian Bale was horrid as a prematurely aged, nose-broken ghost of his youthful self, and I sure hope those are not real tattoos on the naturally very handsome Matthew McConnaughey.
