My children love this book. We were so excited to find that Netflix had taken on turning this classic Children's book into a feature film. We watched the movie for our family movie night the same night that it premiered in the States. This Netflix "adaptation" is NOT My Father's Dragon and is nothing like the book. The magical elements of the book and endearing characters were either left out or totally altered, making this film much more The Neverending Story (even with a giant Morla-like turtle). If you have never read My Father's Dragon, you may find this film somewhat enjoyable. If you are a fan of the book, you may not make it through the whole film. Nice try Netflix, but you really disappointed my children with this one.

Don't believe the nay sayers. Season two is totally different than season one, that doesn't make it worse. All these folks want to see the same thing: season one, only better. That's not what season two is. Season One was excellent. Season is even better, a totally different plot and feel, with a different cast and production crew. This is the most brilliantly written show, incredibly acted and produced. Amazon has really figured it out!
