Editorial Review: Product Description: 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. Amazon.com: Stunning computer-generated special effects are the main selling point of Dragon Wars: D-War, a Korean-made fantasy about ancient monsters wreaking havoc in modern Los Angeles. The complex plot, based on legend, pits an evil serpent and its demonic army against a young woman (Amanda Brooks) who is the reincarnation of a young woman imbued with the heaven-sent power to transform the creature into an all-powerful dragon. Jason Behr (The Grudge) is the reporter who discovers that he too is a reincarnated warrior bound to prevent Brooks and her power from falling into the wrong hands. The elaborate premise isn't helped by the script, which delivers absurd dialogue and situations with child-like naivete; thankfully, the presence of Robert Forster (as another reincarnated hero) and solid actors like Elizabeth Pena, The Office's Craig Robinson, and Chris Mulkey, help smooth over the frequent moments of unintentional humor. But this won't matter much to fantasy fans and (especially) younger viewers, who will tune in for the film's riot of special effects; director Shim Hyung-rae and his talented team offer scene after scene of exceptional CGI creations, most notably a aerial dogfight between helicopters and winged lizards in the skies above downtown L.A., and a climactic battle which makes good on the title's promise. The DVD includes a making-of featurette which outlines Shim's four-year struggle to complete the project, as well as storyboard galleries and an animatics display. -- Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Oh, the horrorA few months ago, my teen kids and I stumbled across this and were intrigued by the straight-from-a-young boy's-imagination description on the back of the dvd box, especially this jewel: "giant lizards with missile launchers." Still, not having that much disposable income, I decided against it. Months later, Christmas morning, my kids gave it to me as something of a joke gift. That night, the four of us gathered together, fully anticipating a glorious B-movie cheesefest. We were all so sadly disappointed. ... Read More: Rating:  - Good CGI but no diceDragon Wars was a recent movie I saw via my Netflix membership along with another fantasy/sci-fi movie I requested and of the two, it was the better one. However, I quickly found myself fast-forwarding through the movie to avoid having to just shut down the movie completely. I am a fan of good story-telling and acting, but I'm drawn to action and to special effects. This movie had plenty of action and special effects, but it was hard to put the story together and to take it seriously with shoddy acting ... Read More: Rating: - Imagine a Monster Movie Directed by Edward D. Wood Jr...."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 ...

Rating: - WOWNot 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 ... Read More: |
