Profile of Dragon Wars

The mood of Dragon Wars is exciting and suspenseful. The plot centers around legends and myths, chaos, and saving the world. It is an action and fantasy movie. In approach, Dragon Wars is fantastical and serious. The pacing is fast. The setting is Los Angeles. Dragon Wars is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes violent content.

Summary of Dragon Wars

East meets West, and ancient myth meets modernity in this creature feature from Korean director Hyung Rae Shim (REPTILIAN). A TV news reporter (Jason Behr, SKINWALKERS), an antiques dealer (Robert Forster, FIREWALL), and a beautiful young woman (Amanda Brooks) all play a role in an old Korean legend coming to life. A giant snake is slithering its way through the streets of Los Angeles, and the trio must keep it from reuniting with an ancient spirit that will turn it into an evil, even more destructive dragon. DRAGON WARS is a throwback to classic monster movies, but this time around, there are much better special effects than audiences saw in those films from both Japan and the U.S. Though the film is from South Korea, director Shim has recruited faces that will be familiar to American audiences, from ROSWELL favorite Behr to Forster, who turned in a career-reviving performance in Quentin Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN. But it's THE OFFICE's Craig Robinson who's the most fun here as a womanizing photographer who teams up with Behr's Ethan. DRAGON WARS is more of a guilty pleasure than fellow Korean import THE HOST, but it features an impressive amount of action and nods to monster movie favorites such as KING KONG and GODZILLA.

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

Picture Ancient Korea under attack by giant snake-dragons, an evil wizard with an army of Cylons. Now theres a princess and some guy, and she jumps off a cliff and a dragon or something. Now youre in modern day Los Angeles, apparently some woman... Read and rate it
