D-War: Dragon Wars

Plainly speaking, War of the Dragons or D-War: Dragon Wars (in North America), directed by Korean director, Shim Hyung-rae, is such a stupid movie. This is definitely the worst movie that I have watched in 2008 so far.

Save for the stunning technical and CG effects, the storyline sucks big time. What's the point of having good effects and all but had an incredibly weak storyline? A good CG effects can never replace a movie storyline. In addition to the ridiculous storyline, the lead characters were poorly developed and there was simply no real climax in the movie.

What was supposed to be a 'war of dragons' turned out to be a just a fight for a few minutes between the evil and the good Imoogi towards the end. And I was like, oh is that all?

According to Wikipedia, this fantasy-action film was Korea's largest-budgeted film as of 2007! It is a dissapointment I think for them to spend such a great sum of money to produce this kind of low quality movie. This Korean film which was screened in America, reminds me of the Japanese animation film, 'Final Fantasy' which fared badly though it won praise from critics for its superb animation and effects.

All in all, the 'War of the Dragons' is a waste of time and money. If you're planning to watch the movie, I would strongly suggest you to wait til the next time HBO screens it on Astro. :)
