I figured I would put 2 reviews in one thread to save time

Road to Perdition --
I just watched my copy of Road to Perdition and I think it was a great movie. It was a cross between The Godfather and The Green Mile. There were lots of 'shoot 'em up and kill 'em dead' scenes but it was also a very epic and tragic movie about a hitman and his family. If you are into dramatic and crime movies this is the one for you.

Reign of Fire --
This movie was not what I was expecting. It was alright but the story went way too fast and there was no background on how the dragons came to be, etc. My copy maybe a screening copy and may differ a little from the theatrical release. I hope it is and that there is some backstory at the beginning because that would make all the difference. That was my main beef with the movie, it seemed very short to me but some of you may like that. The sfx were good and so was the acting, so overall it was a pleasing movie but I would reccomend waiting til the video release instead of seeing it at the theatre.

Just saw the preview for Road to Perdition and to me, movies like that are better seen at home on the DVD player vs the theator. I like more action, effects on the big screen.
As for Reign of Fire, from the previews I too have been wondering WHY dragons would be around in the future all of the sudden so that question should be answered somehow.

They didn't say much about their origin in the copy I have

Did they give any backstory about where the dragons came from in the theatrical release?
