Awesome fx, incredibly bad dialogue. Why give away the entire movie in the first 5 minutes? That being said, the movie gets really fun when they start thrashing LA (doesn't everyone want to do it)?

I tried so hard to enjoy this film, but it wouldn't let me. The film is ridiculous on every level, and is laughable through the entire film. From its terrible dialogue and storytelling that's littered with plot holes (Korean people I tried so hard to enjoy this film, but it wouldn't let me. The film is ridiculous on every level, and is laughable through the entire film. From its terrible dialogue and storytelling that's littered with plot holes (Korean people getting reincarnated as white people? What?), To the boring action scenes (Why does this remind me of Power Rangers? 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

Korean people really need to step up the game if they want to run in Hollywood. Script was mediocre, mediocre acting, pacing was too slow for an action sci-fi, and CGI below Hollywood level. Honestly, it's a decent afternoon rental Korean people really need to step up the game if they want to run in Hollywood. Script was mediocre, mediocre acting, pacing was too slow for an action sci-fi, and CGI below Hollywood level. Honestly, it's a decent afternoon rental movie. 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. Why can't they bring those out in the states?… Expand

Maybe good movie for kids, but that's about it. Poor on all levels: script, acting, filming, etc.

I tell you what, this movie gave me a great laugh, I don't know if it was supposed to but it did. I just didn't understand some of the battle sequences, why blow up the whole city if you know that the girl you want is in there and I tell you what, this movie gave me a great laugh, I don't know if it was supposed to but it did. I just didn't understand some of the battle sequences, why blow up the whole city if you know that the girl you want is in there and could get hurt. And the one guy that seems to be untouchable gets plowed by a car. Why does the serpent chase them, because when he catched up to them just roars at them. What's the point?... Lol I thought this movie was very funny, but overall it was very unorganized. Lol.… Expand

This movie is terrible. 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 This movie is terrible. 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

When this first came out, I had a far higher opinion of it (for some reason I can't remember.) But recently I watched it again as I got it at budget for my Blu-ray collection.

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. 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. The story has some plot holes and is overall too much foreseeable. 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
