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

Rating: - 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.
Rating: - Pretty good!
Pretty good to me because I am a dragon fanatic but if you don't really like dragons, I would not recommend this one to start. Good movie though.
Rating: - Great effects but the bad outweighs the good!
When I saw the preview for this movie, I was looking forward to seeing the film. The whole premise was interesting and, to be honest, a lot of countries other than the U. S. have been making some original and interesting movies (such as Japan and their horror movies). This film is a dud, unfortunately.
The story revolves around dragon folklore in ancient Korea, where two mystical dragons await the arrival of a special young woman's twentieth birthday. At this time, the young ... Read More
Rating: - Maybe next time
In short, CGI sequences are great, acting bad, plot worse, dialogs are lauhgable, scenes are disjointed. If you still want to buy it be my guest but don't say I didn't warn you.
Oh, one more thing, don't be fooled, this is not a comedy.
