I'm watching this for the first time and...

I'VE BEEN IN AWE FOR 10 WHOLE MINUTES. The Princess NEVER dies in these kinds of situations. I thought maybe she was unconscious, but THEN HER FOOT IS BIT OFF AND I FLIPPED OUT. This is the most ballsy screenplay EVER!

But this wasn't really THAT big of a surprise. It isn't like the Princess had been developed into a main character or anything. What would have been surprising is if the girl who pretended to be a boy at the film's start had been the one to die. Now THAT would have been "ballsy". Instead, it was a side character who just happened to be a princess...nothing really "ballsy' about it at all. She was completely unimportant to the outcome.

You have to admit the foot looked a little tasty.

I remember watching this when I was about 12 on TV, and yeah, I couldn't believe the princess actually died!

The funny thing about the baby dragons...they were the only characters I felt bad for when they died. Vermithrax also evoked a sad feeling from me when it saw its children's corpses. What does this say about the actors in the film? It's a pretty good movie, but the impressive dragon really is the one and only thing that would keep me coming back to it.
