Critics Consensus

Dragon Wars' special effects can't make up for an unfocused script and stale acting.

5/10. 50/100. | Prolly would have given it a 70/100 when I was a kid. Watched it once around 8-10, with my mom & dad, and probably my sister, but idk why or how I remembered so much of this movie lol

One of the worst piece of shits I ever watched. I'm ashamed to say I bought a theater ticket for this. There was no story flow. One scene it looks like there about to get eaten by the giant snake and for sure meet their doom with what looks like no means of getting out of the scary situation. The next scene literally 10 seconds after, they're eating hotdogs in a small joint contemplating on what to do to stay alive and figure out wtf is happening. Like wtf just happened?? Ur about to die, then ur eating hotdogs. It didn't explain shit on that. Honestly it was more like a comedy to me it was so bad. And not a good comedy. A painful carrot top wasted 2 hours of my life embarrassed I watched this cus I'm bored comedy. I would rather watch frankenshish from syfy or the ginger dead man over this it was that bad.

First half of the film is just pure bullshit and completely ignorable. Second half has some battle scenes and fight scens that are really creative, but unfortunately poorly done, the CGI is clearly limited (probably by the budget). Also, the script doesn't make much sense.

For people who have medieval-vs-modern army fantasies, this is a must watch. The battles are entertaining.

If you like dragon movies this is a new one. Apparently in Korean mythos a serpent can one day become a celestial dragon. This is a history lesson and love the effects.

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

D-War is a complete waste of time that shouldn't be watched by anyone, for any reason.

It's the ultimate matinée film, and to me (as a non-Korean) it never seemed to try and make like it was anything else.
