Dragon Wars

You Can Do SO Much Better

Do not be fooled by the CGI Budget of this movie. Special Effects do not a good movie make. I first saw trailers of Dragon Wars last year and was really looking forward to it. I think a clue to the quality of the movie should have been in the fact it didn't appear in any of my local cinemas.

The acting is awful. The plot has holes big enough for the monsters in the movie to run through. They took their budget, planned out two massive battles and some shots containing a big monster thing, THEN sat down and thought 'Oops, we need actors. And a plot. Ah well, this will do...' and released it.

The two 'battle' scenes, past and present day - very pretty, fairly well done with only a few snorts at 'heh because THAT looks realistic', and the critters in it are fairly good. But that's about it. I can't even call it a brainless Monster-Trashing-A-City movie.

I was so disappointed words cannot do it justice. If you want a big beast destroying a city, grab Cloverfield when you get the chance.

Watchable!

This film is a good time filler, ok, so the acting was crap, but its worth watching for the special effects!
