Dragon Wars Movie

[MRG]

Interesting. It'll either be totally sweet or it'll bomb. I only just now saw the trailer and it's out in a few days. I hope it does not bomb, cuz this is my type of movie!

I predict a failure

 

[Lucid]

Looks a bit like Reign of Fire... but much campier.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Ads have been airing like crazy, so I'll probably see it. After all, it has dragons!

 

[Direwolf]

Looks terrible. So I want to see it.

I just came here to start a thread about this...

I think it'll be the best movie of the year, I predict like 30 golden globes, 5 raspberries, 2 empires, 6 filmfare, 9 canadian, 2 nobel prizes, and an mtv award.

Honestly, I can't even believe somebody approved, and gave money towards the production of, this movie. "Dude I have the greatest idea evar! Two dragons, one good, one bad, battle it out in los angeles! We'll be trillionaire's!

IT IS ****ING HORRIBLE.


There is no story. The computer graphics look like BF2 in medium settings. The lines suck. The acting is poor. The black guy doesn't die.

I saw this over a month ago, and I regretted ever wasting my precious time and money to see this shit. I made a thread about this already, btw.

It's horrible. I hate to say it, but it is horrible.


The story is not lacking, instead, there is absolutely no story at all. The CG looks something out of Battlefield 2 in medium settings. Acting is Ok, but what was up with that black guy who always gets left behind?


The LA battle was Ok, though. I actually liked it a bit. But... oh god. If this was done well, it could have been something.....



3/10. 3 for effort. (And because of the director's dream of getting Korean movies or wahtever)

 

[Dr0ndeh]

the cgi does look awful like

The lines suck. The acting is poor. The black guy doesn't die.

The dialog sounds like it was written by those guys who translate operating instruction manuals from Chinese to English.

There's not a spark of sense here.

Written as well as directed by Hyung-rae Shim, which apparently means Uwe Boll in Korean, [it's] so campily awful that it's Mystery Science Theater-ready.

Destined to go down in history as one of cinema's most blunderingly, catastrophically bad big-budget films of the last few decades.

...the only real entertainment comes from watching Robert Forster fruitlessly trying to explain the difference between an Imoogi, a Buraki and a Yuh Yi Joo.

This one's for connoisseurs of the "totally preposterous crap" school of fantasy cinema.You know who you are: You have all the Warlock sequels on Laserdisc, the complete Leprechaun series on DVD, and go see Uwe Boll movies on opening weekend

America does just fine making cringingly terrible special-effect extravaganzas, so back off, South Korea!

and it got a sweet ass 14% on rotten tomatoes.


"D-War (also known as Dragon Wars) is a 2007 South Korean film directed by Shim Hyung-rae. It is a fantasy-action film that is reportedly the biggest budgeted South Korean film of all-time."

D-War set a record of grossing $20.3 million in South Korea in its first five days in 689 theatres. As of September 1, the film has grossed $44 million in Korea and another $10 million in other countries, totaling a worldwide gross at this date of $53,587,404.

Different strokes for different folks.

probably the bad dragon was painted red and the other red, white and blue!

Fact: We only went to see it because we felt sorry for the guy. Seriously.



Then the regrets began.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!!! Awesome. May have to see this one...

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Wow. Apparently it's an "unforgettable action experience" and "it is impossible to not enjoy this film", according to American film critics. :|

 

[Death.Trap]

The black guy doesn't die.
