 In a small Korean village, five hundred
years ago, a girl named Narin was born carrying the coveted Yeouijoo inside her. The Heavens sent the protector Bochun
and his protégé Haram, to ensure that when it came time,
Narin was peacefully sacrificed to the pre-determined Good
Imoogi. Bochun vigorously trained Haram as a knight, to be
prepared for the eventual day when Narin would be delivered
to the Good Imoogi. The day the Dark Imoogi, Buraki, and his
army destroyed Narin's village looking for the Yeouijoo,
Bochun instructed Haram to take her to the Good Imoogi.
The young girl and her knight would then fulfill the giant's
serpent's destiny by giving it the power to save the world
and become a heavenly dragon. By this time, after spending
several years together, Haram and Narin had fallen in love.
Unable to sacrifice their love to the benevolent Imoogi,
they jumped to their deaths together in each other's arms.
The Good Imoogi's destiny was unfulfilled and he would have
to wait another five hundred years until the next Yeouijoo
appears.
It is now five hundred years later in present day Los
Angeles and the quest for the Imoogi is reborn. Haram and
Narin have been reincarnated as Ethan Kendrick (Jason Behr)
and Sarah Daniels (Amanda Brooks) whose bond of love remains
unsevered. Ethan is an investigative reporter for the local
news. He is closely following a series of unexplainable
disasters occurring in the area. When a young woman named
Sarah is linked to those occurrences, Ethan remembers that
an ancient man he met many years before had predicted all of
these events . Ethan finds Sarah and helps her escape the
wrath of Buraki and his army. Aware that Sarah must
sacrifice herself in order to save the city from the Buraki
and ensure that the Good Imoogi becomes the Dragon, Ethan
tries to convince Sarah that there is another way to battle
the Imoogies. Meanwhile, the FBI agent on the case, Frank
Campbell (Robert Forster), has uncovered the Imoogies'
intentions through his own investigations. Campbell is ready
to sacrifice Sarah to the demonic animals to save Los
Angeles. In the face of chaos and destruction, Ethan and
Sarah must decide their own fate - whether to defy the will
of heaven once again and let the city be destroyed or
deliver Sarah to the Good Imoogi.

I find the whole movie to be great.
While it is true there were a few holes
in the plot, the story overall was very
good. I liked the history of the Imoogi
and the visual effects were awesome. I
don't agree with the negative comments
towards the casting either. I thought
Jason Behr was amazing in his role as
Ethan and the guy who played the
camerman was good as well. All in all, I
thought it was a good movie and I will
be purchasing it on dvd once it comes
out. |

I saw this film this weekend with my
8-year old son, by his insistence.
DRAGON WARS wasn't bad at all. True, the
acting was strictly B-level or below,
and the plot was dismal due to its many
holes, but the special effects and music
were outstanding. I think its a real
bummer that the Korean director is being
given such grief. Indeed, if Hyung -Rae
Shim had been given better advice about
American audiences, DRAGON WARS would be
an overwhelming box-office success.
For one thing, while my son certainly
did not mind, I could not see why the
two lead characters had to be white when
they are supposedly descented from
Asians? It has already been shown that
American audiences have no problem
identifying with Asian characters, as in
CROUCHING TIGER and other such films.
While the Asian actors featured 500
years into the past of the plot were
excellent and very credible, the
morphing them into 21st Centrury WASPs
in Los Angeles not an argument for PC as
it is an insult because the two lead
white actors were soooooo awful. Only
veteran actor Robert Forester did any
justice to the profession and the film.
I've read several highly negative
reviews of DRAGON WARS. I think many of
these reviews are mean spirited and
unfair...especially to the director and
the sountrack; both of which I found to
be great. |
