paulclaassen I expected mediocre effects for this low budget film, but it turned out to be quite amazing. This was a thoroughly enjoyable fantasy action with some incredible action sequences. Plot flaw: in the beginning of the film the evil Buraki attacks a village in search of the girl born with a dragon-shaped tattoo. If they were hoping to find the girl alive, why did they first bomb the village and then searched for her? The chances were very good they could have killed her during the attack.Nevertheless, the film is a fast-paced joyride of thrilling action and incredible effects. The Atrox Army battle in Los Angeles towards the end is insanely entertaining and well on par with the Hollywood blockbusters.

Thomas Sun Dragon wars told us a Korean legend about the dragons.I read the comments here and found the rate is so low. Maybe the plot is too weak and some scene is ridiculously naive. Maybe it's the director's fault, he just wanted to make a film combined with eastern and western culture, but he made a mess. The special effects is really good and the real dragon in the last scene is really wonderful. The East Asia dragon is different from the evil western dragon.It's a mythical creature with a huge snake-like body covered in fish scales, and adorned with horns, a beard, claws and feet.This dragon can bring the rain to the earth and the people are grateful to that. This legend is originated from China and spread to Korean peninsula and other parts of East Asia. At the end of the movie we hear the traditional Korean folk song and it's really beautiful. Maybe this movie is too short and crudely made, but i have to admit that this movie is a great surprise.

jessegehrig Oh c'mon now, its not that bad, I mean, yeah its really bad but not terrible terrible bad. If you were to poll all the people who said this movie was awful, the majority while correct in classifying this movie as crap also enjoyed watching it. Yes every aspect is sh*tty, how is the acting? sh*tty, how is the story/writing? sh*tty, how is the directing? how are the special effects? Ask how whatever was with this movie the answer will always be sh*tty. Now for the blame game- whose fault was this movie? The writer? The Studio? The director? The producer? Should we blame the audience? I saw this movie in the theater and later purchased it on DVD, and I knew it was bad each instance, should I shoulder some of this movie's blame? Life is a mystery.

Theo Robertson A lot of people on this page have complained that DRAGON WARS is let down by the story . I disagree it's not so much the story/plot/premise that is at fault but the storytelling itself . For some need only known to the producers several characters have to experience a " they wake up only to find the danger they were in was in fact a nightmare " which becomes very annoying . The only function these nightmares seem to have is to show some CGI special effects which are terribly cartoonish . One wishes the production had limited the number of effects so that when they do come they'd be more convincing There's also another element that let's DRAGON WARS down and that is it's trying to be as inoffensive as possible . This is personified by the opening flashback scene in ancient Korea which sees the villains attacking a village with their dragon army . It's not on a level with Peter Jackson's RETURN OF THE KING but it had the potential to be impressive . I said " potential " because the editing is done in a very blink and you'd miss it technique similar to QUANTUM OF SOLACE which will have you thinking the more violent bits of the scene have been left on the editing floor
