Film Night

Finally saw D-War (aka Dragon Wars).

A few scenes that make you go ooh! and a lot of WTF. It's like a 70's Japanese monster movie, but with CGI instead of rubber suits and a really, really incomprehensible plot. The "good guys" destroy as much of the city as the "bad guys" do in a long sequence in which Stuff Blowed Up Real Good, but which ultimately has no bearing on the film's climax.

Somebody threw a lot of money at this film, though. Maybe it's better in it's original, non-Anglicized cut, when they're not trying to re-cast Korean locations as southern California.

I saw it recently too, yeah, what was up with that? I knew it was a Korean movie but an all American cast and set? I really don't think Americans are so picky and xenophobic that they'd completely avoid a movie because they might have to endure *gasp* subtitles and actors from a different country!

;D I still wanna get it in HD, JUST for the last 20 minutes of the movie. That is the BEST Asian dragon I have *EVER* seen in a movie!
