Roland Joffé’s There Be Dragons is clearly intended as grand narrative filmmaking in the classical tradition of Hollywood’s great epics, the kind of immersive, cast-of-thousands David Lean-esque spectacle they just don’t make anymore. The gap between the writer-director’s obvious ambition and actual execution is almost moving: from its baldly overwritten dialogue to its claustrophobically stingy use of locations, Dragons is underdone in every way.
