The movie was actually quite entertaining, the problem is, the script was so badly written. I know it's a fantasy movie, but even this kind of movies have to have stories that make sense.
In first scene we see a terrible miserable town, but we never learn what happened to it. Their king decide to sell his daughter Elodie as a sacrifice to be killed by a dragon to get gold and food to help his people. But this is not a permanent solution, what will happen after 2 years when everything runs out again? Later on we even see the daughter survives and befriend the dragon, they decide to go back to her town where they don't even have enough food for the people, so how are they going to feed the dragon?
Let's go to the scene after the ceremony, the newlyweds sit on the carriage and ride to the mountains. The prince tells Elodie there is a ritual they have to do. By some miracle, all the local people who were at the ceremony are already there, we don't see any other horses and carriages near the pathway, how did they get there and so fast? In the ritual the newlyweds cut their hand and join hands, share their blood, then the prince throws Elodie in a cave. The fall is extremely long, nobody would survive that fall!
In the cave there are thousands of birds, whose idea was this, also wouldn't they be afraid of the dragon, i would understand if it was bats. When the dragon and Elodie meet, the dragon tells her she can smell her royal blood, so you are telling me sharing a couple drops of blood can completely change your DNA, fascinating. The dragon decide to toy with Elodie and all the other sacrifices, why nobody knows?
So later in the cave Elodie found snails that glow in the dark and can heal wounds, wow how incredible convenient, the chances of something like this are close to none. I'm surprised they weren't also eatable, that would be the cherry on top. She also learns there were other women in the cave before her who wrote their names and made a map.
Elodie decides to climb the diamond cave, hoping there is exit on the top and then back down again because there is nothing up and she hears her father in the main cave hall....not a scratch on her! I understand she has healing snails, but OMG they don't heal so fast and the diamonds were extremely sharp.
In a later scene the father decides to sacrifice his life so she could escape. She escaped the cave by rope climbing, you should see her go, even Rambo couldn't do it as fast as she did.
The prince family knows something is wrong because the dragon is irritated so they decided to throw her sister in the cave, the dragon uses her as bait for Elodie. By now Elodie hasn't eaten or drink for 2 days straight, but she is full of energy and she decides she's going to save her sister. Even though in some parts the dragon and Elodie are extremely close together in the cave, the dragon can't smell her blood or scent, WHY?
Here is where she managed to trick the dragon and beat it, but instead of killing it for good, she decided to heal it with the snails. I understand that both of them were fooled by the prince family, but it's a bald move to save somebody's life who killed your father, tried to kill you and your sister would also be on the list.
In the next scene we are back in the castle, where we see another wedding taking place by the same prince and the next dragon sacrifice. The writers clearly didn't thought it through, in the past it took months to get from one place to another. Even though they live in a big castle, there is no way they would they take risk to have multiple princesses stationed in multiple rooms at the same time, considering that didn't know they are going to be sacrificed.
Yeah, a lot of crazy illogical stuff. A puny girl who barely eat anything at home where they had nothing and in the cave, managed to find the strength out of thin air, save her sister, beat the dragon and with it kill the bad people.
