    Frankly, it's dumb, but no dumber than "Transformers."

    It is such a breathless, delirious stew, it’s impossible not to be entertained, provided -- this is crucial -- you have a sense of humor.

    You don't have to hand the folks behind Dragon Wars much (the acting, directing, costumes, editing, props, music, etc: They're all off). But when they decide to sic that giant snake and those prehistoric dino-birds on downtown Los Angeles, the movie turns shockingly watchable.

    This South Korean pseudo-epic is some of the most ambitious cr-- I've ever seen.

    An excellent cgi/effects movie with a convoluted storyline. What is most surprising is that there were no moments that endeared the good serpent to the audience. Perhaps the Korean director didn't know that American convention or perhaps he thought the audience could adapt. Expand

    Open your mind. This movie is not for academy award. It's a children's movie. Clumsy but Fun.
