    If you were begging for a more adult power Rangers then you just found the perfect movie.

    Well its not that bad come on. A cross of Star Wars, Godzilla, king kong, Jurassic Park and all other monster flicks. The effects are alright, very good for Korea but less so for Hollywood, but they still look fairly good, the only real problem is when people are blue screened ag...( read more)ainst the action, then its obvious. The plot, like alot of Eastern movies, is confusing, with lots of odd names, sorcerers, magic and creatures running around, you lose it big time. The acting is slightly below average but you can live with it. The main claim to fame here is an awesome monster battle between US soldiers and dragons and all manner of warriors with weird weapons, including a pretty good 'Star Wars' style Apache choppers vs flying dragons through skyscraper trenches section, probably the best part. On the whole I quite liked it, its fun stuff and actually beats 'Reign of Fire' thats for sure.

    The story is not outstanding. Ethan is the hero, but he doesn't quite know what he is supposed to do. Sarah is confused at the beginning, but she catches on by the end of the movie.

    CGI are everywhere in the second half of the movie. I didn't like the two snakes fighting at t...( read more)he end of the movie. Unless you are following intently, it is pretty easy to confuse grey with black. Interesting that when I saw this movie a second time about a year after the first, the only thing I remembered about the movie was the snakes/dragons battle near the end of the movie.

    I know that Dragon Wars was made with a fairly big budget, but it has "Sci-Fi Channel movie" written all over it. There's nothing polished or redeeming about this waste of time.

    Most of the actors are unknowns, the plot is something that an 9 year-old would dream up, and the sp...( read more)ecial effects are really not that impressive. The last battle sequence between the two serpents is fairly cool, but the rest of the movie is simply dross. A Sci-Fi channel original may have actually been marginally better.

    For a straight to DVD release the special effects, CGI and stunts, were very good. It had a much bigger budget feel to it. The story and plot are all a bit simple but you know what to expect. The creatures look good. Overall totally over the top B-movie monster mash fun, not to b...( read more)e taken too seriously.

    Didnt really understand the legend and the link between the movie kept missing. Kind of confusing but what i went for was the effects and they were awesome.

    My god was the acting bad! I laughed by butt off while trying to watch this film. Nothing compares to this movie when it comes to poor writing and directing. The characters were unintentionally funny and most of them just went along with the, so called, plot. If you want to l...( read more)augh hard, watch Dragon Wars. Another film I recommend that pars with this is Street Fighter.

    Again, I went with my friends to expect a decent fantasy/action flick. But what we got was something you'd see in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. For the entire film we laughed horribly at the acting. Honestly, nobody in the theater cared. Actually, they joined us at times.

    Consider this the Citizen Kane of crap.

    It was a good movie, though the plot wasn't all that great. The CG was amazing, it made the monsters look really real. I didn't like all the collateral damage they were causing (too much to be realistic) and I don't get why it's called Dragon Wars when there are no freaking dragons in it till the very end? There are giant snakes squishing everything, but no dragons...

    this was the worst movie i have ever seen, it was horrible x4, let me explain, there are movies that are just bad (horrible) then there are movies that are so bad that they're funny even when they don't try to be (horrible x2) then there are movies that are so bad they're not even funny anymore and you're throwing up (horrible x3 (this is rare)) then there are movies that are so bad they're funny again and you're laughing while throwing up (horrible x4) at least its not horrible x5 (which does not exist yet (but came close to)) where you just kill yourself
