6 Exceptionally Badass Movie Dragons

Dragons are awesome. I am sure there are countless other ways I could have opened this article, but come on, why dance around a subject when we can just jump right to the heart of it? At some point, someone saw a lizard and thought to themselves: if that thing was huge and could breathe fire, it would be fucking terrifying. And thus, dragons were born.

Smaug – The Hobbit

Let it be known, before I shower anything about these films with praise, that I am not a fan of them. I don’t like to idea of directors going back and retreading on material that worked for them. The Hobbit could have EASILY been one movie, but the studios were like, “wait, this dude brought us in BILLIONS before, I bet he can do it again.” But another 9 hours of this shit? Nope. Not a fan.

Still, I will begrudgingly admit that I am a fan of Smaug. The thing is, this is all that anyone really wanted from this trilogy. They wanted Smaug to be a fucking scary, intimidating badass, and that is what they got. I will even give extra points for the Benedict Cumberbatch voice work. He hides his voice enough that we don’t see his face in the character, yet still uses some elements that make it recognizable.
