Horrible. Incomprehensible. Shoddy. It is extremely rare for me to not like at least a small part of any movie, but this one had no redeeming features whatsoever. Another reviewer said "If you want to share some unforgettable memories with your children, this will be an excellent choice." Absolutely true - any future rubbish movie you see with your children can be accompanied by "hey, at least it wasn't as bad as Dragon Wars." Pretty much all the actors (I use that term extremely loosely) seemed to have no idea what was going on, both in the movie, and in their own private lives that meant they were forced to accept a role in this film. The special effects were the best part of Dragon Wars, and even then they would not have looked out of place in an episode of Buck Rogers. Seriously. I literally have absolutely no idea what the point of this movie was. It made no sense whatsoever, and there was absolutely no attempt to get the audience to either like the good guys or hate the baddies. Whoever they were. Which, ultimately, means that pretty much everyone who watches this will hate pretty much everything about it.

The film was bad, i'm not gonna lie, but the visuals and action sequences were entertaining. The plot and acting are awful. As for the person who commented on how Korea should stick to making LGs and Kia's, this movie is not a fair representation of Korean cinema as there are many brilliant Korean films like Oldboy, 3-Iron, and The Host to name a few. Nevertheless, I had a good time laughing at the dialogue.

This was actually the worst films i have evr seen. It was dull, it had a shocking ending, the cgi wasnt too great and it was a waste of £10!

Vernel N. gave it a1:
This movie Sucked. The plot was worthless and dumb. The cg was good, but didn't help much.

WOW I knew it was going to be bad but usually when you expect the worst from a movie it tends to be better than you've heard...theres a reason the critic scores are nearly as bad as the users..this movie was AWFUL!!!!! after 10 minutes i watched it in fast forward just to get my rental moneys worth, I've never done that before so that should give you an idea of how bad this really was..Korea should stick to making kias and lg products, not feature films .
