Movie Review: Dragon Wars - Page 2

Plot holes are gaping, and it’s impossible to track them all. Somehow, the largest dragon is lost in the middle of the LA melee. No one seems to care even though it’s the most crucial element in the plot. Then there’s the good dragon who will save all of mankind, yet takes his sweet time in arriving. Why not try and stop the evil before is reaches a major metropolis and kills thousands? What kind of a savior is this exactly?

As for the two leads, Jason Behr and Amanda Brooks, they couldn’t have reached any further to find the bottom. When you’re forced to recite lines (with a straight face no less) such as, “I’m getting real sick of this destiny crap, Jack,” call it quits immediately. Better yet, have the common sense/courtesy for yourself and to the people paying to see you to ask for a rewrite.

If you’ve never asked for a refund on a movie before, prepare to ask for one if you pay for this. Dragon Wars is a travesty, something that the Sci-Fi Channel would love to have for a short Saturday night run before retiring the print forever to a locked vault where no one else should ever be subjected to it. And no, it’s not worth $10 to see dragons munch on LA.
