Mythological dragons have indeed weilded different breath weapons, but in 90% of all legends/ stories, they breathed flame, regardless of colour.
I thought it was well done. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The male dragon was pretty impressive, especially when it takes on the convoy and when it is at the castle...

My only problem is with the notion that there is only one male. Given that the dragons existed at the time of the dinosaurs, that means that the male dragon is several million years old. I don't buy that. Also, there would have to have been another male to sire the male dragon of the film. I suspect that males are simply quite rare. With the death of the male in this film, I would expect one of the surviving females to birth a male offspring to replace him. Nataure is not so stupid as to make an entire species' survival hinge upon one individual.
I was also slightly disappointed that the film's poster is so misleading. It shows a number of helicopters in the air with several dragons. I would very much have enjoyed seeing some cool aerial battles. A group of fighter jets taking on several dozen dragons would have been appreciated.
