Movie Reviews of Dragon Wars - D-War
Movie Review: A little disappointed after the long wait
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Summary of Dragon Wars - D-War
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 and mega-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 ancient nemesis. Dragon Wars reveals every last detail of Earth s greatest battle a war you ll only believe when you see it for yourself.System Requirements:Running Time; 90 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/ALIEN INVASION Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396238183 Manufacturer No: 23818Stunning 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
