Give me a break. What kind of a super stupid story. Why don't they show more about the beginning of the spread of the dragons? Because there is no logic in it whatsoever. There are so many goofs and inconsistencies in this, it is really beyond anything I would expect even Hollywood dared feed to its clients... Don't talk of the acting. This said, a little more detail (sorry, but there are some spoilers here, so if you want your disappointment and disgust at the story or the acting to be really original, don't keep reading).
Even the kind of governments we have to-day would be able to figure out quite quickly what our American (!!) hero towards the middle tells the poor Englishmen about the breeding habits. And, really, with those habits, a worldwide spread would have been out of question whatsoever in the first place, and even a 5 year old understands that in one second after having heard the catch. Then:Spoiler ahead! How come, after the beasts are defeated(who would have guessed?) , all of a sudden people have food a-plenty, and animals are around, and birds, when the whole ecosystem was supposed to have been destroyed? If destruction were that bad, it would have taken at least 100000 years for nature to recover, and humans would have starved long before the dragons. The men have this kind of super-male deep-voice grumble on, I guess it should let them look more manly. The women are reduced to screaming, weeping and running, with one exception. No really. Yuck. The best thing are the dragons, and in my opinion, they could have left out the humans altogether from this movie. The worst of all logic goofs in the story is the weapons. Spoiler ahead! First we're told over and over how all the high-tech weapons, including nukes, didn't help, and then our super heroes shoot a dragon with a combination of medieval crossbow and Chinese firecracker. Now what? If this ridiculous thing can bring down the beast, why should a guided anti-tank or anti-aircraft missile with 100 times the explosive power, flying at the speed of sound, and guided by the most advanced visual guiding systems, with a penetration power more than 200 fold from this primitive contraption, fail at the same job??? Really, give me a break. Look at the beast, and you see at least 4 points of entry that will infallibly lead to its death if you send a missile in. Especially after seeing with what they shoot it in the movie.
