Summary: Imagine a Monster Movie Directed by Edward D. Wood Jr....
Comment: "Dragon Wars - D War" harks back to the old days of Godzilla and other countless monster flicks. The concept is simple. You will be watching huge creatures, in this case a huge dragon, smash buildings and crash cars somewhere in Los Angles. You will find it extremely hard to follow the film's complicated story, but never mind. The visuals are decent and the film is certainly a guilty pleasure. It is like watching a Godzilla movie directed by Edward D. Wood Jr. You just cannot hate it, can you?
Still I must say the story of "Dragon Wars" is terribly convoluted. Jason Behr is a reporter Ethan who recollects his meeting 15 years ago with an antique shop owner Jack (Robert Forster) who tells the young Ethan an old Korean legend about two dragons and a couple of star-crosses lovers. Understand? Me? No, but do I have to?
Anyway, Ethan believes Sarah, 19-year-old American girl (Amanda Brooks), may be the key to saving the world. They meet and fall in love with each other in a most implausible way before a big dragon and an army of other creatures led by a shape-shifting warrior chase them.
Comedian-turned-director Hyung-rae Shim is no stranger to monster movies. He previously worked as director in 1999 and his film was "2001 Yonggary" (also known as "Reptilian"), a remake of the 1967 film "Yongary," one of the Godzilla rip-offs of the day. As he did in "Reptilian," Hyung-rae Shim spent much time and money on special effects. Some of them are very impressive even though some clearly need improvement.
If you are looking for better acting, better story and three-dimensional characters, you can choose "Gwoemul" or "The Host" directed by Joon-ho Bong. "Dragon Wars - D War" is a typical case of "so bad so good" and should be seen and enjoyed as such.

Summary: Dragon Wars Blu-ray
Comment: Dragon Wars - D-War [Blu-ray] Though not one of the best movies on dragons I collected this movie for entertainment value and the fact that it originated in the Orient.
Customer Rating:
Summary: WOW
Comment: Not wow in a good way... I mean, yes, there are good special effects... But seriously, I have NEVER in ALL MY LIFE seen a movie with a worse script! Oh my god, its the Imoogi! Run to another place, somehow outrun a giant snake-dragon and just sit around with some doctor who makes things float with his mind (good for him) and, just when he is done, the Imoogi shows up IN THE HOUSE and kills him... and yet... somehow... THEY ARE ABLE TO SURVIVE. The romance in this movie is just as obvious and terrible. "I bought you some new clothes" *make-out-sesion*... Oh my god... save your money and get a good movie.

Summary: Worst movie ever!
Comment: Alright so everything's corny. The story seemed rushed and very predictable. Typical conflicts and quotes you see from so many movies. You have computer animations mixed with power ranger effects. This movie is not worth the time. Somehow the main female character is so easy she'd kiss any guy within a day and the department of defense keeps shotguns in their drawers.
