Brief synopsis of 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...

Rated - 1 starsYou Can Do SO Much Better

0dd1 0dd1 from Basildon , 22/05/2008

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.

This film is disjointed, badly acted and has a naff story line. The special effects were good enough but the film was terrible. Maybe in years to come it will become one of those bad cult films. One star for the effects, zero for all else.

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

Rated - 3 starsMonster Action!

lakebitton from Exmouth , 27/07/2008

A good attempt at a 'monster destroys US city' movie. Excellent CGI effects and a passable plot, for this type of film. I watched it twice as there are a lot of frantic action scenes and it is quite a lot to take in on the first viewing. Worth watching if you are into creature features or Sci Fi.

Rated - 2 starsdrag-on wars

A customer from Consett , 28/08/2008

The story line of this film is very poor, and the early part of the film drags on and looks a lot like a early Japanese dubbed movie were the story jumps from scene to scene. It also has a touch of power rangers in it ( I think!).Which is a bit of a shame as the CGI scenes are pretty good and worthy of a better film.
