Others say...
"Bad Movie!!!!!"
Aside from thre CGI created creatures it lakes on everything else of what a movie must have.
"Ridiculous" Ok, I LOVE dragons. My all time favorite dragon movie is, of course, Dragonslayer. SO, naturally I saw this and thought "Oh neat-o a new dragon movie!" What a monumentally ridiculous waste of time. The only thing that redeemed the hour and half that i wasted watching this was the appearance of the classic Asian dragon in the last few frames. The story was interesting and had SO much potential....but fell totally flat. What a disappointment.
"This is.... well, something, that's for sure." This movie was so bad it almost made me ask for my money back. I can't explain why I love it, though. It wasn't Godzilla bad, not even Gamera bad. It was just plain, out and out, bad. There were rocket launcher toting slugs and acting so painful I needed an aspirin. But, it was fun. My friend and I were alone in the theater so we made fun of it at every turn. From LOLDragons ('It eats me!' and 'I'm in your city, eating your reincarnated virgins!') to pop culture to inside jokes, we made fun of this movie and had a wonderful time. (At one point we broke out into Fett's Vett by M.C. Chris. It just seemed to fit.) Watching the movie a second time just wasn't as funny. But the first time was such fun, we didn't even ask for our money back. We're waiting to pick up a copy so we can inflict this pain upon a new audience, an audience which needs punished but not killed. D-Wars should do the trick.
"So bad I'm Speechless" I can't even imagine how to put how bad this movie is into words. I'll try. Let me start by saying that I never saw it coming. The trailer looked good enough. The movie started out ok, with a little too long intro/back story with some interesting CG work that was obviously made to spoof the old Japanese monster movies (or the Power Rangers for you kiddos reading this review). After that, things went downhill... and fast. There was so little effort made to connect you to the present day hero/heroine that you never cared about whether they ever lived or died. Even my kids agreed. The CG dragons, even the little ones, were all made realistically enough. But that in no way makes up for how awful the storyline was. Some are saying to watch this movie for the CG dragons. Please trust me that it is totally NOT worth it. If you must, rent it, skip to the last battle scene, watch that and that alone, and save yourself any effort to painfully sit through this thing.
End of my review
Now, for the play by play. You by no means have to read this as it contains some big spoilers, but here goes...
My emotions throughout this movie were: 1)Initial curiosity 2)Wait for the story 3)still waiting 4)Present day comes and... Initial fears that this is all the story we're getting 5)What the heck was that? Was that supposed to be a fight scene outside the bar? Oh, please don't tell me this is the indicator of the level of action sequences we're going to get 6)Camera man friend of the reporter makes a couple of deadpan remarks that make me think there may be some redeeming value to the movie coming up at some point 7)stomach drops as I realize suddenly that there will be no redeeming value to this movie 8)my face melts off from the anguish boiling up inside me 9)confusion sets in... and again... and again... and again... 10)Please let the main characters just die so this movie will end now 11)YES THEY DIED! 12)Yes, I knew they couldn't have possibly died, but I was sure hoping. Ok, I've made it this far, I can watch this ending action sequence 12)Hey, cool battle... except why suddenly does this cave look like it is outside? oh, wait, the dragons look the same. Which one is which? What is going on? Wha... 13)It's over. Whatever. Let me just turn it off and grab something for the indigestion I now have.
"D-War (the D is for Dilapidated)" The Good Things *Good special effects. Lots of great battles with lots of mass destruction. *Some vivid imagery, especially at the end. *Good usage of mythology. *Lots of cool creatures and weapon designs.
The Bad Things *Everything else! The plot is kind of odd, the characters are incredibly bad, and the writing is bad.
The Questionable Things *Some laughable scenes; can be good or bad.
This can be seen either as a really bad blockbuster or a really good B-movie. In any case, the story qualities are terrible, and the only good redeeming quality in this movie are the smashing special effects and battles.
The DVD has good image and sound quality, and has a couple of good making-of featurettes.

What our customer's say!
"Dragon Wars Blu-ray", Dragon Wars - D-War [Blu-ray] Though not one of the best movies on dragons I collected this movie for entertainment value and the fact that it originated in the Orient.
"WOW", Not wow in a good way... I mean, yes, there are good special effects... But seriously, I have NEVER in ALL MY LIFE seen a movie with a worse script! Oh my god, its the Imoogi! Run to another place, somehow outrun a giant snake-dragon and just sit around with some doctor who makes things float with his mind (good for him) and, just when he is done, the Imoogi shows up IN THE HOUSE and kills him... and yet... somehow... THEY ARE ABLE TO SURVIVE. The romance in this movie is just as obvious and terrible. "I bought you some new clothes" *make-out-sesion*... Oh my god... save your money and get a good movie.
"Worst movie ever!", Alright so everything's corny. The story seemed rushed and very predictable. Typical conflicts and quotes you see from so many movies. You have computer animations mixed with power ranger effects. This movie is not worth the time. Somehow the main female character is so easy she'd kiss any guy within a day and the department of defense keeps shotguns in their drawers.
"dragon wars", although haveing b grade actors in it and being a bit corny in some parts i found the movie very entertaining ,it had quit a good story line and had good visuall effects,had good fight and battle sceens enjoyable movie. ross
"waay over done and not thought out 1st", Disappointed.... this is how i felt. The small things picked at me. Like back in ancient times how did these troops have rocket blasters strapped to dinosaurs when the Asians had swords and a cannon or 2 at most? And in present day why aren't the military aiming for the weak points of the dragons? We all know we can't pierce the scales sooo aim for the eyes and in the mouth morons! Not to mention the military didn't even evacuate the city before sending in tankers and helicopters to rain down a shower of bullets which were carelessly and uselessly fired at scales the army knew was harder then diamonds! This movie could have been so great if the writers thought it out before throwing it together. It could have had less comedy and brought up a level in the seriousness of the situation. The events were serious but it was depicted as 1970s comicbookish

"A HILARIOUS PUT-ON OR THE WORST MOVIE EVER? EITHER WAY, A BAD MOVIE WE LOVE MUST-SEE!", When the folks behind DRAGON WARS decide to sic that giant snake and those prehistoric dino-birds on downtown L.A., the movie becomes enormously watchable. Until then, there's nothing to indicate that anybody involved with this unintentionally hysterical fantasy knows what the hell they are doing. Funnier when it tries to be serious, this one's for connoisseurs of the Bad Movies We Love. (And you know who you are.)
With its competent creature effects and even an homage to THE PHANTOM MENACE, (Of all things), you'll roar with glee over writer-director Shim Hyung-rae's insanely convoluted plot about how every 500 years, a girl is born who, at the age of 20, will grow - for lack of a better term - a giant glass energy ball inside of her, which must then be cut out -- killing the girl, mind you! -- and offered as a sacrifice to either the "good" Imoogi or the evil Buraka, two giant serpents who will transform into dragons if they eat said magic ball. To explain all this, we have Robert Forster as the reincarnation of an ancient Korean warlord, and some truly fashion - and acting - impaired leads in Amanda Brooks and Jason Behr. The latter plays a reporter who rather hilariously leaves his black friend behind to get killed in almost every perilous situation.
In the opening minutes, a narrator explains that 500 years ago a girl was born who can turn a serpent into a dragon. The first girl, a Korean lass in the 16th century, has been reincarnated as a dull Southern Californian named Sarah (Brooks). The snake and some crypto-medieval army are after her; yet, as befits some certain pretty L.A. girls, she's clueless. Her dreams of doom get her institutionalized, but a young reporter named Ethan (Behr) - reincarnated himself, maybe from the 16th-century Korean Tom Cruise - knows what's up and tries to keep her alive.
Beachfront make-outs and mysterious clothes changes ensue.
The computer-generated birds breathe fire on people. The helicopters empty round after round on the relentless snake. The snake lunges at cars and slings them 200 feet. The cameras whoosh between skyscrapers and plummet with burning helicopters and dying birds. (The sequence with Behr and Brooks caressing on a rooftop while bullet casings rain down on them is truly special and should have director Michael Bay writhing with envy.)
Shim was obviously going for an adventure with a GODZILLA-like feel, but the camp panic and mock seriousness undermine his efforts at every turn. And some of the dialogue suggests a John Hughes version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: "The fate of the world rests on your shoulders," says wise old Robert Forster to Jason Behr. "Deny this. And you will deny yourself everything. Even the girl."
Hoo-boy! Cue the Psychedelic Furs and batten the hatches.
"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.
"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 about it. The plot is a let down, and the movie is just too disjointed.
"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 be clear here: No one bothered to see this movie because Jason Behr was in it except for a few lonely female fans of the old Roswell TV show. No one saw this movie expecting the next great franchise-starter like Spider-Man or Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. Nope, we watch this for the DRAGONS.
The CG dragons are awesome, and it gives me a new appreciation for how Asian dragons can be conceived and executed. I have seen well-done dragons and mediocre dragons and even some horribly bad ones, but these are so entirely different and well-conceived that you've just got to rewind and watch the fights again. The snake-like dragons, the turtle-like dragons with rocket launchers, the flying and the 'raptor dragons -- but really, the masterpiece is the Celestial Dragon at the end. My son and I kept going back through that last scene over and over. The Celestial Dragon was just so graceful and deadly and majestic all at once. Just beautifully executed.
Who cares if the jump from LA to that Never-never Land where dragons duke it out is the worst transition in modern cinema? Who cares if the army of evil dragons is vanquished way too easily? We want to watch flying dragons and Blackhawk attack choppers fighting over LA! We want to watch the two big guys finally face each other! We want to see how the good serpent intends to outwit the bad serpent and gain the girl's dragon mojo! We could care less about the acting.
So, 5 stars for awesome dragons and fights, 1 star for acting and story development, which averages out to a solid 3 stars. Like dragons? Buy this film. Like good action sequences? Rent it. Looking for romance and intrigue? Find another movie to watch.
"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.
