To me it was more the "Marvel, feel good fun"  "DC, grim dark not so fun"

 

But hey, look for more depth in there..

An evil Atheist explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly finds himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon surveying the situation, he says quietly to himself: “Oh God, I’m screwed!!!!!.”

 

There is a ray of light from heaven and a voice booms out:

 

“No, you are NOT screwed. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you.

 

So the explorer picks up the stone and proceeds to bash the living heck out of the chief.

 

As he stands above the lifeless body, breathing heavily and surrounded by 100 natives with a look of shock on their faces, Gods voice booms out again: “Okay ….. NOW you’re screwed.”

 

Moral of the story is don't follow the impromptu advice of a divinity you don't worship.

I never understood why Reign of Fire wasn't popular, on the topic of dragon movies.

 

IIRC the ending fell flat for me.  Haven't seen it since I watched it in the theaters though.

Yes, incredibly anticlimatic ending. Considering the whole film structurewas build up, that ruined it.

I can't remember the ending. I assume Christian Bale saves the day.

I don't remember either, but I do remember the intense feeling of disappointment it created. That was more memorable than the ending itself.

They kill the lone male of the species by shooting an explosive into his mouth. The rest die out. The run rises on a new dawn.

does someone have gif/meme of Stallone yelling 'Phoenix!'? I can't find it anywhere

Can't wait for the movie.
