Sporting cinematography and editing that’s more reminiscent of a Power Rangers episode than a big-screen fantasy epic, Dragon Wars stutters into the American box office with a laughable plot and a story riddled with holes… holes big enough for dragons to fit through!
Helmed by Korean actor / comedian / director Shim Hyung-rae, Dragon Wars (titled D-War overseas) is by far the most expensive Korean production ever undertaken with a budget of $70 million. But all the money in the world couldn’t help this train wreck of a film.
Ethan (Jason Behr) is a reporter investigating a seismic disturbance in downtown LA. While on site he sees what looks to be a reptilian scale, which triggers a memory from his childhood involving an old man (Robert Forster), an antique shop, and an ancient Korean legend. As this legend has it Ethan embodies the spirit of Haram, a 500-year-old warrior, whose duty it is to safely transport Narin, a marked 20-year-old girl, to the Good Imoogi (read giant reptilian serpent) where she will sacrifice herself so the Imoogi can become a dragon and return to Heaven.
But Haram falls in love with Narin and is unable to sacrifice her for the good of humanity. Together they die and the Evil Imoogi Buraki must wait another 500 years to try and steal the reincarnated soul of Narin to attain dragonhood.
It’s now 2007 and the 500-year grace period is up. Buraki has returned to modern day Los Angeles (why LA? Who knows!) with an army to wreak havoc and find the soul of Narin, which has been reborn in the persona of local resident Sara (Amanda Brooks).
By some screenwriting sleight-of-hand Ethan meets up with Sara and protects her from the reptilian onslaught, all the while trying to figure out a way to save both the city and this new woman he’s quickly falling in love with.
Despite the deeply entrenched lore of Korean culture which the plot is based off of, the actual story behind Dragon Wars is paper-thin and so flimsy a stiff wind (or the consciousness of a 13+ year old child) could blow it over. The flaws in this film are everywhere, but most readily manifest themselves in the poor character dialogue, the slightly-better-than-Sci-Fi-Channel special effects, and in the downright illogical plot progressions.
The acting of lead Amanda Brooks is like the rest of the casts’: bland and not worth mentioning. Jason Behr, although he may be pretty to look at, is as much a reincarnated Korean warrior as Hyung-rae is an Oscar-worthy director. I only hope that Craig Robinson (the bouncer from Knocked Up) and Holmes Osborne (the father in Donnie Darko) get some real roles after this debacle.
Now I know this is a type of movie that releases with low expectations, a monster-flick that is supposed to be mindlessly enjoyed. But even trying to savor this film at its basest level is rather difficult. What makes a big monster movie so entertaining is not only rampant destruction and fast-paced action but also a sense of realism in lieu of the fantastical premise.
Dragon Wars fails to portray the thing which makes citywide carnage and chaos fun to watch: an accurate, or at least remotely plausible, social response to crazy ass-kicking monsters. Instead director Shim Hyung-rae relies on forced romantic tension, heavy amounts of cheese, and a VFX-laden climax of uninspiring action.
Watch out Michael Bay, you have a crappy new director to contend with.
