    The fact that Reign of Fire does what it sets out to do is a cause for celebration amongst those who like special effects-laden action movies featuring fire-breathing monsters and mayhem.

    An uncommonly satisfying mix of medieval fantasy, high-tech military action and "Mad Max"-style misadventure.

    It strains belief that nuclear weapons couldn't kill off the dragons, but three people with crossbows could.

    Best epic of the year! I was at the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie. The only problem is that the story needs some work.
