Having been playing fantasy roleplaying games since around 1986 and up to 2019, then of course with a movie such as "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is just something that has to be watched.
Turns out that this 2017 fantasy adventure movie was actually surprisingly entertaining and good. The movie had a very nice storyline, one that definitely had a very unique fantasy feel to it.
The characters in the movie were nicely detailed and fleshed out, and they had some nice actors and actresses to perform the various roles and characters. One thing though, which might be nitpicking, but the fact that the Norsemen didn't speak Norse was cringeworthy. Sure, for the sake of the audience, English is preferable, but it just takes away so much of the image of them being Norsemen when they speak English.
As for the special effects in "Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire", well, let me just say that they had a rather impressive array of special effects. The dragon looks very nice, realistic (as realistic as dragons can be, duh!) and the CGI was working so well in favor of the movie.
"Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire" is definitely a nice movie, especially if you enjoy the fantasy genre. It is not a movie that you need to have watched all the previous "Dragonheart" movies to understand, so it functions well as a stand-alone movie, but also as an addition to the "Dragonheart" franchise.
