Trivia:
The method by which the dragons expel fire was inspired by two actual animals; the spitting cobra and bombardier beetle. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: It is impossible to "stay tight to the cliffs" all the way from Northumbria and London: East Anglia and the Thames basin are flat. moreQuotes:

This was a bit different than one expected. There was no nonsense, no tongue-in-cheek humor or special-effects just for the sake of it: this was simply a humans vs. dragons story taking place in the future. No laughs and nothing hokey, which is what I expected. They played it straight, simply as a fight story between the two parties.
Yes, there were credibility problems with the story but overall, it was good escapist adventure. The dragons were realistic-looking, the scenery dreary but the story interesting and intense in spots.
I wouldn't buy it, but I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a night of adventure on film. You could do a whole lot worse, especially with two young actors who have arrived as stars: Christian Bale and Matthew McConnaughey.
