moviewizguy and Head RAZZberry:

I don't think there's much danger of many more people paying first-run prices to see it.  Our whole family saw it last weekend.  I'm used to matinee showings being a little empty, but we were the only four people in the audience for that showing.

I agree that this one is worth renting.  The action was fun.  The CGI was better than I expected, even on a big screen.  It's been a long time since I've seen a cast of unknown actors do a good enough job that I could honestly blame the script!

^^That's why I'd want to watch the movie.

Response from Head RAZZberry: While my 11-year-old son and I did have a good time RAZZing this film while watching it at a local multiplex, I must admit it wasn't quite as often laugh-out-loud funny as I had hoped it would be. If you've got Netflix, it's definitely worth a rental. But after paying $17 for 2 tickets to see it (and watching the entire movie with a human hair dancing in the projector's lens!*) I can't whole-heartedly endorse this as worth paying first-run prices to see in a theatre... 

* Guess which major movie chain owned the theatre where I saw it...

If you're gonna make a bad movie, please make it like this!  I haven't had so much fun watching a bad movie since back when I was a kid.  My family watched the Japanese monster movies every Sunday afternoon.  And like ITBeast already said, the main difference between Dragon Wars and those movies are the sets and the monsters.  It's cool watching a gigantic serpent slither down a Los Angeles street during a traffic jam, smashing and exploding all the cars as it goes.  It's great seeing the serpent slither up the US Bank Tower (called the Liberty Tower in the movie) and fight several Apache helicopters.  It's great watching our military and the police fight an overwhelming assault by legendary creatures. 

And it's great seeing our damsel in distress leave a bar called "Razz Berriez". . . .

Let's make no mistake; this is a bad movie.  You could tell when, in the opening scene, you are taken to a construction zone with a few mashed up cars set a little bit on fire set on a huge mound of dirt, and there's a whole bunch of people milling around acting like something horrible happened there.  Yeah, something horrible happened there.  They didn't have the production budget to create a good post-disaster scene. . . .

There are other things I wonder about.  For example, what's Jar Jar Binks' army doing fighting for the evil Emperor? . . . 

Why, if Jack knows the legendary army is hidden in writings awaiting for the right moment, why didn't he destroy the writings as he collected them throughout the ages? . . .

And speaking of "throughout the ages", why are we subjected, in the first twenty minutes of the movie, to a very long flashback, that then takes us back to when this whole thing started, and then back to the flashback, and then we're finally back in real time?

Why does Mr. Ugly Dude, after he captures the reporter who is the legendary protector of the legendary woman, not kill the protector, or at least take away the pretty farking amazing amulet (to be referred to hereafter as the PFAA)? . . .

And speaking of Mr. Ugly Dude, why is it assumed that if there is an evil monster looking for something it needs to bring the end of the world, that all these humans, like Mr. Ugly Dude, will do the Cthulhu and help it along?  Hey, let's all get ourselves killed!  Doesn't that sound like fun? . . .

Yet, despite all this and much more, I enjoyed myself immensely.  I truly wish that all bad movies were like this one.  It was a pleasure!

Hardly a fire-breather at the box office: Here's a LINK to the dialy grosses pages at B.O. MoJo for DRAGON WARS...

Looks like film critics were in the mood to do a little DRAGON-slaying: Here's a LINK to the Rotten Tomatoes page to read reviews of DRAGON WARS...

I hate to say this RAZZ but it looks like our defender of the "Intolerable to Mediocre Cinema was right" , Believe it or not the Turkey...Ooops meant Dragon Wars...has already garnered close to $55 million internationally according to BOX Office MOJO, I guess I'm not the only one out there who likes there cheese with their Cinema.
