Let me just go right ahead and say that this movie wasn't as awesome as one would assume it is, being that it is called "Dragon Wars". First of all, the main dragon isn't even really a dragon but more so just a very large cobra. But there are some real dragons and they do go to war with each other and what not, so don't you worry about that. Anyway, the movie starts with some random old dude telling this child about these ancient Dragon Wars and how this sect of assholes, called the Red Dragon, are constantly after this jade necklace called the Yu Yuji or something similar to that. Then we never see that old dude or that child again and we somehow get to modern day where this chick has the Yu Yuji. Then a bunch of talking stuff happens, which I don't remember because I wasn't paying attention. Then the main Dragonlord from the Red Dragon sect shows up and the huge cobra dragon starts stalking the chick with the Yu Yuji and kills several people. It isn't until the climax of the movie that things get really cool. Dragons start coming out of nowhere and attacking innocent people all over the city. They're fucking up buildings and helicopters and everything! Then there's this whole other subplot about some dude being like the chosen one or some bullshit like that. And then it ends with this majestic Chinese dragon flying off into the sunset. I probably would have been moved if I had any idea of what was going on. This movie was clearly made by a small Korean production studio, with a Korean director that does not speak any English. The editing is terrible, the acting is atrocious, and the story is really hard to follow. But man, do those dragons look good.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Yu Yujis
