	Media	Author	Review
		Ian Nathan Empire	"An unknown treasure of a fantasy film and well worth a look for fans of the genre."
		Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"The film excels as a visual exercise, as a study in adolescent psychology, and even as astute political analysis."
		Variety Staff Variety	"A well intentioned fantasy with some wonderful special effects, Dragonslayer falls somewhat short on continuously intriguing adventure."
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The scenes involving the dragon are first-rate. The beast is one of the meanest, ugliest, most reprehensible creatures I've ever seen in a film (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
