{movie} dragon wars (2007)

An ancient Korean legend forms the basis for this action tale of Armageddon. In present-day Los Angeles, reporter Ethan Kendrick (Jason Behr) investigates a series of inexplicable disasters plaguing the city. Fortunately for the citizenry, legend has it that Ethan is in fact the incarnation of an ancient warrior destined to team with the modern counterpart (Amanda Brooks) of his eternal beloved to protect the City of Angels from imminent doom.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** (Actually 1.5) This was pretty disappointing. I was just hoping for more as the trailer actually looked pretty good, but the movie couldn't live up to the trailer. The build-up was slow and even when it got to it, the movie was hurt by sub-standard CGI and bad acting, even from Jason Behr who I really like. It was just a bad monster movie. By the end of the movie, I could have cared less if the girl died or not, and apathy for the characters' fate is the worst thing that a movie can elicit from the audience.
