This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreI expected mediocre effects for this low budget film, but it turned out to be quite amazing. This was a thoroughly enjoyable fantasy action with some incredible action sequences. Plot flaw: in the beginning of the film the evil Buraki attacks a village in search of the girl born with a dragon-shaped tattoo. If they were hoping to find the girl alive, why did they first bomb the village and then searched for her? The chances were very good they could have killed her during the attack.Nevertheless, the film is a fast-paced joyride of thrilling action and incredible effects. The Atrox Army battle in Los Angeles towards the end is insanely entertaining and well on par with the Hollywood blockbusters.
... View MoreI hate writing too long. It is a waste to ruin a Korean movie. Even the name of a movie is a shame. I hope there is no one who wants to see a movie just for poster. It is the life that does not look good.
... View MoreI have watched this film a few times over the years with my wife and we both think these low ratings are not justified. First it is a Korean made film with great special effects with a smaller budget then most films made by united states film companies. It was a film that captured a lot of different emotions and kept our attention all the way to the end. It had a good cast including a good performance by Jason Behr. I would not let these low reviews stop you from seeing this movie. This is a movie I own on bluray and plan on watching again. I gave it a rating of 10 only because it deserves a much higher rating then a lot of viewers gave it. So give this movie a try especially if you like mystical or fantasy type movies.
... View MoreI should note that "Dragon Wars: D-Wars" showed some very pricey CGI, which were somewhat better than other sci-fi films on UniMás (previously TeleFutura). But the good graphics will be my only positive remark about this South Korean import (that I saw in Spanish - quite the international experience). I assumed this movie was based on a comic book, but either way, this film might've been overlooked in the multiplexes chock-full of movies adapted from every comic book except "Archie." (I'm sure there'll be one; the TV movie from over a decade ago where Archie & friends grow up ain't worth braggin' about.) But back to the dragon movie. Again the graphics were good & those monsters would've made some pretty cool toys. But the story of a journalist accompanying a poor, tortured young lady on a wild adventure 'cause she's the reason for those dragons terrorizing Los Angeles seems silly & necessary only to display those kickass dragons. Surprisingly, there are some familiar faces who aren't lead actors: Craig Robinson, Retta, & Billy Gardell. They now appear respectively in "The Office," "Parks & Recreation," & "Mike & Molly." In conclusion, "Dragon Wars: D-Wars" is best watched on TV w/ the volume turned up when the cool scenes are on. But anytime you see scenes with dialogue such as the suits trying to deal w/ this dragon disaster, adjourn to the kitchen or bathroom, but leave the television on when the monsters return.
