Snakes In LA!

So, I have found what may posibly be the worst movie in the last five years. Dragon Wars!!!!!!!!!

From the first moment I read the plot summery, I could smell the sweet odor of creme de la crap, but it was the comparison to Ed Wood's films that really made me want to see this movie.

We start off with a little bit of a legend, which the movie then proceeds to flesh out, in every minute detail, for the entire first 45 minutes of the film. This allows the movie to have glaring typos in the subtitles ("She bares the mark of the red dragon"). Turns out that there's very little dragon or war in the movie. The CGI is mediocre, but passable, not that much exciting is done with it. The fights are badly done and unintentionally funny, especially the final battle, which looks more like a monster sex scene. I couldn't stop laughing until it was over.

There's also bad cuts and continuity errors. The first flashback is fifteen years ago, then they say the flashback was ten years ago. In another scene, Ethan is standing up on one side of the room and then in the next shot he's sitting down on the othr side of the room. Total time that passed? 0.05 seconds.

Overall: F+
