Aragon
starring Ed Speleeers, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, Robert Carlyle, Dumon Hounsou, Garrett Hedlund, Joss Stone, John Malkovich, and the voice of Rachel Weisz
screenplay by Peter Buchman
directed by Stefen Fangmeier
This is a silly story about dragons in an imaginary, mock-medieval European world, surrounding a tale of the struggle between an evil king and a virtuous but downtrodden peasant opposition. Why did I ever rent such a movie? It was not what I hoped it would be. But I wonder why big stars like Robert Carlyle, John Malkovich and Jeremy Irons participated in it? I’ll ask them the next time I see them.
