What Parents Need to Know
About Dragon Wars (D-War)
Parents need to know that this monster movie is full of explosions and lots of CGI snakes and other reptiles that roar, shoot fire, and chomp and stomp on their human victims. Combat scenes set in the past feature cannons, while current-day warfare sequences include tanks, missiles, and small arms fire. A giant snake crashes through buildings and flips cars, making many city dwellers run and scream (and burning some to ash). There's a brief kiss between the featured couple and relatively minor language (a couple of uses of "s--t," "hell," and "ass").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of monster movies. Why is it fun to watch crowds of people run and scream as they're chased by giant (albeit computer-generated) beasts? Is it ever hard to distinguish the fantasy of monster movies from things that could happen in real life? Families can also discuss the film's take on "fate." Can you change your future, or is some part of it set? Did you expect Ethan to accept Sarah's fate? Why or why not? How is it different from what happens in most U.S.-made films?

- I rate this title on for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
Very good i love the graphics. Violent still but i like the fantasy. No sex which is good.
- I rate this title on for age 2 and give it
The movie does not go into very much detail. Another problem about the movie is that they use to much CGI. For example all the monsters and most of the people to. In my oppion this movie should have been rated PG.

I was so hooked into it
First of all, this is an amazing movie. I was soo hooked into the movie that I didn't know the movie passed by. For people who say it is bad compared to Transformers, who cares? In general, it is a great movie. Violence is an issue, but it is not bloody violence. It is just action violence. There are some scenes with killing, but there is no blood. One exception though is a elephant, ;). Also, there is a sad part. I will not say what, but be prepared. Overall, this is a great movie if you can handle action. My brother is 7, and he watched it with me and he was fine. It really depends on if you can handle action. This is definatley 5 stars.

A Disappointing, Laughable Film
Truthfully, I wanted a big-screen, explosive dragon movie -- I wanted something I could come back to CSM and rate "OFF"! However, what I got was a movie made for TBS Sunday matinee, with terrible dialogue, the loosest plot ever conceived, laughable acting, and one mildly entertaining 17-minute dragon-destroys-downtown scene. No more violent than Harry Potter, but about as entertaining as that film's credits.

Bring back Godzilla!
My daughter is a big dragon fan. We were hoping this was on the same lines as Eragon, but within moments realized this was not on the same playing field. With the double flashback in the beginning of the movie, going to strange sexual/violent innuendos back in 1500's (grabbing all the women and ripping their tops looking for dragon tattoos) it was very distracting. Characters hopped in and out of the film; people in LA just happened to leave their vehicles with keys in them figuring someone might need them to escape menacing snakes. The two main characters leap out of a helicopter, landing unscathed on top of the US Bank building! The story line just did not make sense; perhaps they are gearing it to children but I had to question some other theater patrons bringing 6 year olds to this movie. I was tempted to ask the theater for my money back. I was hoping to see the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys on the bottom of the screen spoofing this movie because it was so bad.

Wasted 2 hours of my life!
First let me say I was talked into this movie by my nephews, who are 6 and 14. I also took my 3 year old. I thought it would be no worse than a Power Ranger Movie (which I've had to watch numerous times). The special effects were great (even reminded me a bit of Star Wars), but that is obviously where they spent all of their $70 million budget! It sure wasn't the director or for a script! I guess the actors did the best they could, but some parts were quite laughable! I mean, when you're getting chased by a HUGE snake, you should at least LOOK like you're scared, instead of taking a drive around the park. My husband kept glaring at me during the movie as if to say "I can't believe you made me waste 2 hours of my life on this!" The story made NO sense and was extremely confusing! Even my nephews thought it was lame (although the 6 year old thought the monsters were cool).

I loved it
It was great. It was a movie which I never watched before. Well, compare to the transformers, it isn't so great. However, overall, it was good.
