I went to "Reign of Fire" hoping for an action-packed roller-coaster ride. I wasn't counting on it, but I was hoping.

"Reign of Fire" boasted a screenplay by three people [Gregg Chabot, Kevin Peterka, Matt Greenberg], that I've never heard of, starred Christian Bale, and Matthew McConaughey [neither considered "A" list stars], and was directed by Rob Bowman [who didn't impress me with the "X-Files" movie].

Bale did an excellent job in his role but McConaughey OWNED every scene he was in. The direction, production values, special effects were all top notch. I must admit that the ending did let me down a bit but not enough to stop me from adding this baby to my library when it is released on dvd.

"Reign of Fire" gets a solid "B.
