Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 6 comments (5 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β none of them described how it moves.
So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βWhile no reasonable person over the age of 12 would presumably be able to take it seriously, it nevertheless has a lighthearted joy, a cheerfulness, an insouciance, that recalls the days when movies were content to be fun.β

βInstead of being drawn into Dragonheartβs tale of swords and sorcery, I frequently sat there thinking things like Gee, I wonder how much time it took Connery to record his lines. Itβs too bad, because in other respects Dragonheart is a corker.β

βCohen and Pogue never get a firm grip on how they wish to play this movie. Myth or mirth? Terror or tease? Draco's fire-breathing aim is mercifully off the mark when buzz-bombing villages, but microwave-sharp when it comes to heating dinner. [31 May 1996, p.3]β

βEngaging fare: part Dungeons and Dragons, part buddy movie - in the style of The Good, the Bad and the Very Ugly - and, finally, a tale of redemption.β

βScreenwriter Charles Edward Pogue and director Rob Cohen have reasonably literate fun subverting the knight genre. [10 Jun 1996, p.91]β

βThe dragon visuals don't hold up, but it's a good fantasy film I watched many times as a kid. Rewatching years later, and it's not as great as when viewing through a child's eyes. It's still entertaining, and Sean Connery is great!β

βOnce the novelty of a (well animated for the time) dragon voiced by Sean Connery wears off it quickly becomes clear that DragonHeart is a bit of a mess, albeit one that does offer occasional glimpses of what could have been.β

βIt was certainly entertaining, I also love the plot of the knight coming to the realization that no one manipulated the prince and he himself was always corrupted.β

βA good fantasy movie that misses the last pushes to become a classic. It is in the category of movies that nearly everybody likes but also nearly no one would put on his/her favorite movies list. For the set up: It is the story of the knight Bowen who is the teacher of prince Einon. He tries his best to teach him the virtues of chivalry as the boys father is a ruthless ruler at least if not even a tyrant. Both accompany the king on a punitive expedition to a local village. However the events herβ

β**A good piece of family entertainment.** This is one of those regular fantasy films that were a hit when they hit television during the 90s, becoming a fairly regular presence on weekend afternoons and holidays. Easily appealing to children and young people, it is a family film that entertains and moves. The film is set in an uncertain period of the Middle Ages, in a legendary European kingdom where the young and cruel Einon reigns with an iron fist and no heart. As a teenager, his life hβ
