Product Description:
Sony Pictures Dragon Wars (Blu-ray)
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 andmega-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 ancientnemesis. "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: out of 5 stars

- How come they invested that much on the CG but so little on everything else?
The CG is excellent. It's like Lord of the Rings taking place in model L.A. The problem is, the story sucks. The main actress doesnt know how to act at all. I strongly suggest you to rent it, and fast forward only to where the helicopters fight the flying dragons. The bucks and the time saved can be spent much better elsewhere.

Rating:

- Lame and not funny
This movie is just plain bad. It is not supposed to be funny -- it is a very serious attempt to bring to life a Korean legend. I actually give this movie 1.5 stars because it's not a bad time killer while getting ready for bed -- maybe watch 15 minutes here and there.

But if you think this is going to be some kind of satirical film because of the reviewer that gave it 5 stars, then you will be sorely disappointed. There are a few interesting scenes, especially at the end, but that's ... Read More

- Watch it for the Dragon Wars, not the acting
Honestly, I have seen most of the actors in this movie elsewhere, and they are all WAY better than this. Their acting is uniformly flat, and that may seem funny to some, but to me it's just plain BORING. The story has potential, and even though the exposition scenes are awkward, I kept finding myself wishing the actors would PLEASE, OH PLEASE, GET PASSIONATE ABOUT SOMETHING!!! But, then again, I didn't buy this for the acting, I bought it for the dragons.

And the dragons ROCK! Let's ... Read More

- A little disappointed after the long wait
I have long awaited the movie of this Korean legend. Whilst the lead man was very handsome, I didn't think the film came quite up to standard. The special effects were pretty impressive, but overall I was a little disappointed in the end product. I know this sounds very negative, but the film was worth the watch.

Rating:

- How can this be called a movie?
This is the first time I have writen a review, because this is by far the worst movie I have seen. The effects was like watching some power rangers garbage, and the acting was also horible too. This movie made no sense and was the biggest waste of time I had.
