what is the most convincing theatrical dragon?


1. Reign of Fire
2. Smaug
3. GOT (yes, i am aware it is a tv show, but they look great).
4. The golden dragon in Beowulf
5. Other

It's very close for me, but o gotta go with Reign of Fire. Funny thing about technology cuz when i saw Dragonheart i was blown away by the cgi. Now they look so dated that i can't keep a straight face.

Yes, the "Dragonslayer" dragon was excellent, it was ahead of its time.

And I like the dragons on "Game of Thrones" more than the Smaug in this film. Smaug is too big to be believable and wasn't as beautiful as he should have been, while the dragons in GoT really work. They are monsters, unintelligent and absolutely terrifying to every normal person who comes near them, and their designers have succeeded in making them both beautiful and repulsive. Would that Smaug had produced the same kind of visceral reaction.

I agree with you on this point. Smaug did not need to be this ridiculously huge.

Nothing comes close to Vermithrax pejorative.

Requiescat in pace, Krystle Papile. I'll always miss you.
