Dragon Wars

Meet Buraki, the vicious, 200-meter long Imoogi serpent from ancient Korea. His army includes giant lizards with missile launchers, flying dragons, soldiers bred for evil and mega-intelligent dinosaurs. Together, they will destroy Los Angeles and possibly the world unless reincarnated warriors Ethan and Sarah can outrun them and resurrect the Good Imoogi, Buraki's ancient nemesis. Dragon Wars reveals every last detail of Earth's greatest battle... a war you'll only believe when you see it for yourself.

It is such a breathless, delirious stew, it's impossible not to be entertained...

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.

Good film....but

What you have to keep in mind when watching this film is that it was the first big budget film to come frm Korea, the majority of the film is in english so it appeals to a larger audience.

The storyline is absolutely cracking it's based loosely on an ancient Korean folk legend and is very imaginative and entertaining, the CG is awesome the only things I found a fault with was the acting standard and some parts of the script.

It must be hard for a director who cannot speak much englsh to get the best performance out of his cast, the words were there but they lacked feeling.

The main female part needed more time on screen as i felt her charcter was quite underdeveloped and I found myself not caring about her as much as I should have.

Dragon Wars is worth watching, I would recommend it. I am looking forward to see what else the Korean's can achieve now they've got themselves a budding film industry
