You Can Do SO Much Better

0dd1 from from Basildon, 22nd May, 2008

Do not be fooled by the CGI Budget of this movie. Special Effects do not a good movie make. I first saw trailers of Dragon Wars last year and was really looking forward to it. I think a clue to the quality of the movie should have been in the fact it didn't appear in any of my local cinemas. The acting is awful. The plot has holes big enough for the monsters in the movie to run through. They took their budget, planned out two massive battles and some shots containing a big monster thing, THEN sat down and thought 'Oops, we need actors. And a plot. Ah well, this will do...' and released it. The two 'battle' scenes, past and present day - very pretty, fairly well done with only a few snorts at 'heh because THAT looks realistic', and the critters in it are fairly good. But that's about it. I can't even call it a brainless Monster-Trashing-A-City movie. I was so disappointed words cannot do it justice. If you want a big beast destroying a city, grab Cloverfield when you get the chance.

Dragon Bores

A Customer from Leigh-on-Sea, 12th June, 2008

This film is disjointed, badly acted and has a naff story line. The special effects were good enough but the film was terrible. Maybe in years to come it will become one of those bad cult films. One star for the effects, zero for all else.

Watchable!

Jav from , 23rd May, 2008

This film is a good time filler, ok, so the acting was crap, but its worth watching for the special effects!

Dragon Wars

Who on earth does the PRAT from Basildon thinks he is when he says go and rent cloverfield instead of this.Crappy hand held camera action that makes you feel sick after 10 minutes verses a heavily laden special effects extravaganza...YES ...OKAY,,,massive plot holes and under acting are present but the fx makes up for it.My wife and kidz all enjoyed it ..after all it is essentially a kidz film.

Dragon Wars

A Customer from yorkshire, 26th February, 2010

I read the other reviews and thought i would give the film ago all the same......It looks like a movie students first attempt at putting something together, the acting was am dram quality,and the random moments in the film are almost comical...dont bother renting, let your girlfriend have her way and rent a chic flic instead

Not too bad

moontear666 from , 24th January, 2010

There is not much I can add that other reviewers have not already said. I did enjoy the movie. It has a passable storyline although several plot holes do make it a shame. The CGI and beasts are very nicely done considering this may as well have been a straight to DVD title but the acting and script is totally lousy and the one thing that will make you want to hate it. It is worth a view but keep an open mind.

Dragon Wars

A Customer from Battle, 11th January, 2010

We thought this film might be fun to watch as a family, but all of us were totally disappointed. The plot was awful, the story line appalling, the acting bad. It dragged on and on, so we were even bored with special effects and battle scenes.

comedy genius

A Customer from Sutton, 23rd December, 2009

Read the whole review as this film has one redeming factor. This has to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. It makes the dungeon and dragons films look great. It's all over the place, there are plot holes so big you could fit a dragon through them. It almost seems that they filmed scenes but decided to leave them out so that other scenes make no sense at all. I.E. when the swat team find the evil imogi, it never explains how they know where it is. Admitedly in any other film you'd just assume a 300m long snake aint hard to spot but in this film it spends the first 3rd wondering around unoticed. They try explaining it all during an exposition scene but it frankly gave me a head ache. I stuck with it till the bitter end which is why i was lucky enough to see what I consider to be one of the funniest scenes ever in a film. It's the films one redeming factor, it's almost worth renting just for this one scene. If you've seen this film you know the scene I'm talking about. When the evil hench man finds the old man and walks through a fence ( so badly done you actually see the fence flap where they sliced it) watch the old lady walking along the street who sees this and watch what she does. I didn't stop laughing for an age. comedy gold.
