Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A disillusioned knight teams up with a talking dragon in a world where honour and profitable deception sit surprisingly close together. Sean Connery's voice gives the creature magnificent presence. The mythology becomes very silly, but the dragon and cheerful adventure make the excess easy to forgive.
