This movie is obviously lame, nerdy, and completly stupid. Just look at the name "Dragon Wars". Why would anyone who gave this movie a bad rating even go see such a movie? So they can give it a bad rating? It was a nerdy but awesome movie.

The WORST movie I have ever seen in my life. And that includes "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." There is no story structure. There is no attempt to make you empathize with the main characters. You get slammed with a half-hour of The WORST movie I have ever seen in my life. And that includes "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." There is no story structure. There is no attempt to make you empathize with the main characters. You get slammed with a half-hour of exposition at the beginning, and it's bad exposition. It's so confusing that you have no idea what they were trying to set up in the first place. The next quarter of the film is devoted to a bunch of cuts between the male lead and the female lead, while the male lead looks for her. Then there's a battle between fantasy creatures and modern military technology in the middle of LA, with total disregard for civilian life by the military. The chopper pilots are hilariously bad. I feel like this sequence was one of the major reasons this film was made. You can tell the director liked it, because you see the main characters for all of two minutes in this roughly 20 minute battle. Oh, and another thing. This movie fails at creating tension in every way imagineable. I know every movie does this, but none so blatant as this one. When the bad guy is two feet from his goal, and he just stands there and stares at his goal, easily within reach... WHY NOT STRIKE ALREADY!? That happens maybe 10 times in the entire film. The special effects amalgam at the end between the two giant serpents, good and evil, is also something that you can tell the director really wanted to do. Too bad it fails for using special effects on par with a film like Independence Day, an 11-year-old film. Aside from all of these flaws, add in non-sequitur dialog that is badly delivered, a "tragic" ending that is practically joyous when the credits roll, and a bad guy with dubbed Korean lines who overacts like it's going out of style, and you have what can easily be called the worst movie ever made. I honestly don't know what studio in their right mind would've picked this one up. Don't waste your time or money. I would've walked out on this movie if I hadn't been there with friends.… Expand

Also, near the beginning, the girl checks herself into the hospital for having a bad dream and then gets locked up for it with guards watching her door and then starts flipping out against the door because 'something crazy is happening!'

The film is ridiculous on every level, and is laughable through the entire film.

And how is the old guy able to fly in the air and fight like a ninja?) and bad sense of humor (A hobo shouting "You lazy bum!"), makes Dragon Wars fall flat. There are a couple of saving graces which prevent me from rating it any lower; the music and there are a few interesting action scenes. Still, I was gravely disappointed with this film and was hoping for a fun, B-movie action flick (Dragons with cannons on their backs? Awesome! Too bad they wasted this idea too). This film did not live up to the unlimited potential it had to be an awesome dragon flick, but it wasted it all (How do waste $75 million to create this?). Sorry, but you'll have to wait for a dragon flick that's actually good. I don't recommend this film.… Expand

I had high hopes for CGI sequences since it was compared to Transformers. Textures on these CGI were below current standards. Some animations also looked weird. LA downtown battle was nice to watch since no other film in recent years have shot for diaster film in downtown streets. Again, CGI really disappointed me. Some greenscreen stuff were visible too. Textures looked blurry. Maybe it was the theater i watched at. CGI looked like something my PS3 can pull it off in real-time. There are some other great Korean films out there.

The guy behind me heard me and started laughing. Even the kids were in a trance! I have frequently logged on to metacritic to get an overall idea on what critics as well as the general public think of a particular movie so I can try and determine if a movie is worth my time and money. Unfortunately for me and the kids, on the day this was released I checked on Metacritic to read the reviews and there was not a single review posted. After watching this total piece of crap I can see why. No doubt this movie was never screened because the producers of this debacle must have known the film was going to get savaged by the critics and the general public alike. The only reason I took the time to write a review on this waste of celluloid was after reading others express that this was the worst film they had ever seen as well. Reading others write the very thing I was feeling was very therapeutic for me. Just knowing that others saw this movie as I did made me feel a little better. I guess misery does love company after all! The only good thing to be said about this piece of total crap was that the special effects were pretty amazing. That being said it still was not enough to raise my review above "zero"! You truly would have to have the I.Q. of a common house plant in order to enjoy this movie.

How could a dozen Abrams tanks not perforate more than one or two blubbery beasts walking towards them with about 3 minutes of fire time? And why do the bad guys walk towards the US soldiers, anyhow? Why not just go capture the girl? It's okay, the FBI has a very advanced mysticism unit (or something) so they know all about this legend. um. Okay, then.

The plot is convoluted, the characters give you no reason to care about them, and the leading actors have no redeeming features other than being moderately easy on the eyes (though I suppose they did what they could with the horrible script). It's also absolutely hilarious, albeit unintentionally so. If you like giant reptiles and love to watch movies that are so bad they're good, see this movie. Otherwise, just wait until it's showing on TV sometime and watch it for a laugh with some friends.… Expand

The visual feats are outstanding, it is big, loud, and not as bad as people think. Its storyline in very gripping, I was engaged throughout. It fantasizes on the dragon world which leads to the human extinction investigation. It is very The visual feats are outstanding, it is big, loud, and not as bad as people think.

Oh my god!!! I was so happy when it came out!! I went around 2 in the afternoon to watch it, and wow after 1 whole hour and 20-30ish mins of actions, I came out a disappointed guy, this movie sucked! big time! To those who gave it 10 and 9s Oh my god!!! I was so happy when it came out!! I went around 2 in the afternoon to watch it, and wow after 1 whole hour and 20-30ish mins of actions, I came out a disappointed guy, this movie sucked! big time! To those who gave it 10 and 9s and 8s, you must not have studied or watch enough films. This totally sucked, Korean movies are awesome, I'll say that, but this director sucks. Korean reincarnated into white people?! what the heck? Why not just make it that the main characters accidentally picked up their powers... DUMB. And at last, the stupidest scene ever, the main character's friend gives him a gun just in case he needs it later on, what was the point of that?!! He didn't even use it once!!!!, the story just ended after dragons fought, where was he?! Korea? Mexico? Neveda?! sincerely dumb!… Expand

If you ask me,d-war is a great movie. I don't understand why people say it is bad! I am 15 years old, and I love dragons and serpents, and this movie has it all in one. Dinosaurs, Gigantic serpents named Imugis, huge dawdlers and If you ask me,d-war is a great movie. I don't understand why people say it is bad! I am 15 years old, and I love dragons and serpents, and this movie has it all in one. Dinosaurs, Gigantic serpents named Imugis, huge dawdlers and smaller flying dragons. The dragon at the end looks great,it is in fact a Celestial dragon,one of my favorites,and y haven't seen it in a movie so far. Only,it is a little sad that Buraki had to die in such a violent way. And the dragon looks awesome. Only, he has ears, that is the only thing that is not right. Y hope that this movie will come to Croatia soon! Y just cant wait to watch it again!!!… Expand

Horrible. Incomprehensible. Shoddy. It is extremely rare for me to not like at least a small part of any movie, but this one had no redeeming features whatsoever. Another reviewer said "If you want to share some unforgettable memories with Horrible. Incomprehensible. Shoddy. It is extremely rare for me to not like at least a small part of any movie, but this one had no redeeming features whatsoever. Another reviewer said "If you want to share some unforgettable memories with your children, this will be an excellent choice." Absolutely true - any future rubbish movie you see with your children can be accompanied by "hey, at least it wasn't as bad as Dragon Wars." Pretty much all the actors (I use that term extremely loosely) seemed to have no idea what was going on, both in the movie, and in their own private lives that meant they were forced to accept a role in this film. The special effects were the best part of Dragon Wars, and even then they would not have looked out of place in an episode of Buck Rogers. Seriously. I literally have absolutely no idea what the point of this movie was. It made no sense whatsoever, and there was absolutely no attempt to get the audience to either like the good guys or hate the baddies. Whoever they were. Which, ultimately, means that pretty much everyone who watches this will hate pretty much everything about it.… Expand

Why I thought this film would be good still suprises me to this day. This is hands down one of the worst films I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and dont bother wasting your time on it like I did.

Tripe is a dish best served...to someone else. If I can spare but ONE person from wasting 90 minutes of their life, by keeping them from watching this unwatchable piece of trash, then my job here is done. Essentially, it's: Boy finds outTripe is a dish best served...to someone else. If I can spare but ONE person from wasting 90 minutes of their life, by keeping them from watching this unwatchable piece of trash, then my job here is done. Essentially, it's: Boy finds out about girl, boy finds girl, girl holds the mystical "Yu-Gi-Oh!" or whatever, boy and girl flee evil forces, girl eventually is sacrificed to the good "Omura" (or whatever), boy stands alone (since the theater has since been emptied). First, I will say the opening started off with an old man faking a heart attack in front of a boy's father; sending the father off for 'help' as an excuse to explain to the boy that he's a re-incarnation of a 'protector' from 1507 a.d. Korea. Next was a pitched battle scene from that same era, and that actually fooled me into thinking this could be an interesting movie. How wrong I was. To me, it all went downhill from there. This film tries to invoke imagery from such classics as "The Neverending Story", "Dragonheart", and even "Raiders Of The Lost Ark". However, I'm left debating whether this was actually worse than "Reign Of Fire". From the moment I first saw the 'evil dragon', I had my doubts, and they were satisfied. Instead of wings on the side of it's head, there's a 'hood' similar to that which cobras exhibit. There are even mild attempts at comedy relief, and those failed miserably. Solid 1.0 rating material if I've even seen it (and trust me...I have).… Expand

I will start off with the positive. The effects and creature design. They are gorgeous. Some of the best looking Dragons in a live action movie. and that's it.

Everything else is wrong. The more experienced actors clearly do not care and barely deliver a half assed performance. While the amateurs are just without anything that resembles talent. The story does have little promise at first, but quickly turns into a mess

Overall:
While Dragon Wars may look good and the CG effects are top rate, nothing else works. It might be OK to watch only once if nothing else is on, but don't bother buying it.… Expand

A wasted opportunity. The story had great potential for an awesome movie but the execution was suboptimal. The actors are a good choice and I fell they tried their best but the script didn’t give them much space / opportunities to shine. TheA wasted opportunity.

Also the ending is sad and definitely no happy end. On the good side the special effects are nice but not good enough to save the movie. Overall I want a better remake with a better ending for this movie.… Expand

I mean, it is. It really sucks.
But put within a context of, oh.. other movies that suck.. like, hey! Some people think avatar or titanic suck.
Or movies that suck because 'Times have changed' like watching song of the south or Tron.

There are disappointment movies like 'A Scanner, Darkly' where its good. Kindof. Good for what it is. But not. But trippy, cel-shaded, artsy-fartsy type stuff disappointment. Dragon wars: D-war fails on all those levels and many more.

Lets begin: Dragon wars: D-War, the D-war is excessive. Just stick with one or the other dragon reference.
Two: The CGI is.. interesting.
Three: You got a respectable actor to introduce your heavily-Asian movie? The story he tells is rushed, not explained, not entertaining and laden with FAILCOMEDY?
Four: Once the story moves along, it also really doesnt.
Five: Set pieces. Very.. interesting.
Six: You go into it REALLY expecting to find SOMETHING. I mean really, anything? Please?
Seven: It doesnt take itself seriously. But it does, in a kind of .. high production value for its time way.
Eight: Too long for being a glorified anime.
Nine: Dragons dont have any wings.
Except the ones with wings.
But the wings are redundant.
And its more slithering, less.. dragony stuff.
Ten: I had a roommate they call 'Homeless Jesus', he loved watching stupid movies. THis was one of the worst. John, you suck.… Expand
