Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 02/20/2021
4/5
The animated details, from the German production company Constantin Film, are slightly sub-Pixar, but the film compensates with muscular pacing, empathetic vocal turns and a witty cine-literate screenplay. Go to Full Review
Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 02/13/2021
3/5
Dragon Rider is unlikely to spawn many imitators of its own - even if it did, how could anyone tell? - but as a half-term diversion, it ticks every box. Go to Full Review
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) 02/11/2021
1/5
Gags about online dating and Skype already date this formulaic snore fest, whose plot manages to be both fast-paced and boring, while the characterisation is as basic as the CGI-animation. Go to Full Review

7/10
Firedrake the Silver Dragon is a solid movie that will probably manage to hold the attention of younger viewers looking for something new to watch, while probably failing to hold the attention of any adult in the room. Go to Full Review
Victoria Luxford City AM 03/01/2022
3/5
The film nudges at (its inspiration) with a scene set at the premiere of a film called How To Tame Your Dragon. It doesnt quite live up to those comparisons, as it has none of the grace of that trilogy. Its a bouncy family comedy, no more no less. Go to Full Review
Kevin Harley Radio Times 10/14/2021
3/5
Although the gags and peril could use more fire-power, the disarming result boasts plenty of underdog charm, and the film gradually finds a modest place of its own in the dragon animation marketplace. Go to Full Review

Ilyas Z @Zellai Apr 24 The Characters Are Good But The Animation And Storytelling Is Decent. For That, I Can't Recommend It. See more Jon K Jan 29 This is a decent kids movie when thought about completely separately from its source material. Young kids should enjoy it. With that said it is really disappointing from the perspective of its source material. This movie simplifies and distorts the original story where it is really quite difficult to even recognize the book it was based on See more Juan Angel R 05/10/2024 Good Movie The animation is good The history too Only i think that can be better BUt a good movie See more J.T. M 03/02/2024 Dragon Rider is the most incredible book I have ever read in my life. An unimaginable, incredible, glorious masterpiece of literature. A grand tale of epic proportions. When I heard this book would be getting a film eventually, I had so many incredible ideas and visions. This movie is none of the things I wanted or imagined. What could have been an epic live action tale of a deadly dragon conqueror and the glorious bond between a silver dragon and a human boy was squandered by this childrens film. This had great potential. Potential to become one of the most epic dragon tales of all of cinema history, battling even Dragon Heart, but it fell short in almost every way. A true disappointment. See more Chris M 02/14/2023 This movie feels like a discount "How To Train Your Dragon". Which isn't a bad thing. And I liked most of it except for two characters. But they do get better as the movie goes on. Overall, it's fun and entertaining. Worth checking out for dragon fans. See more Cameron I 12/30/2022 The story is better good, and the characters are likeable and understandable. Some problems, with pacing though See more Read all reviews
