"D-War Dragon War", rotten and unreasonable

Recently, I have always believed that the performance of Korean films this year has been unsatisfactory. As a result, I saw this so-called the most gorgeous blockbuster in Korean film history towards the end of the year, which further confirmed my argument.

Korean people's rhetoric is despised all over the world. In this film, it is not only simple and shameless plagiarism, but also exposed as a servile servant. In the film, the next Goryeo stick turns the dragon, which represents the Chinese totem, into a product that exists in the legend of their country. As a Chinese, it is absolutely necessary to express a strong resistance to this; the next thing will happen in ancient times. Events in Korea come back to the United States through reincarnation, so even if the film is co-produced with the United States, there is no need to be so flattering, right?

Throwing aside the boring and superbly trashy plot, even the use of expressive techniques is pale, and all kinds of unreasonable things can't be made up even with more gorgeous special effects, not to mention the special effects in this film can only be said to be better than average. First of all, let’s discuss the two giant pythons that appeared in the film. It seems that people on earth basically know what the pythons should look like, but when they get here, they can add a dinosaur head to them, and then they are full of fangs. This is still a python. ? Then there are two giant pythons, one good and the other evil, all look the same except for the color, which is really lazy. Next, let's talk about the villain's army. Is there a European dragon in Korean legends? There are also medieval armors and raptors from Jurassic Park. This kind of hodgepodge of saying that they are not wronged by traitors is obviously prepared to please Western audiences. To this extent, there is also a Korean legend at the beginning. What are you doing out?

At the beginning of the story, the visual effects of ink and wash that appear when telling the story are not bad, and making a legend also increases the attraction and depth of the film. Unfortunately, after ten minutes, the essence of the bad film begins to be fully exposed, dull and nonsense. Made indiscriminately. The so-called rubbish is rubbish, how much gold is plated, the bones are still rubbish.

The only motivation behind watching the movie is the excellent stunt scenes and the expectation of the final visual effects of turning into a dragon from a snake. Unfortunately, the overall stunt performance can only be said to be okay. It should be first-class in Korea, but it is still better than the old beauty. No drama, this year's garbage such as "Super Dog"'s CG graphics and overall integration level are much stronger than this film. In the first big stunt scene, Goryeo's stick fully exposed the old bottom. After careful observation of the seemingly grand scene, I found the defect of the combination of the picture and the blur. As a show off at the beginning, the effect is not as good as a single giant python. The performance is good, it is a failure. The final scene of the snake changing into a dragon is indeed quite qualified. At least the dragon still looks like a dragon in the traditional Chinese sense. The scene is not obvious enough.

Apart from stunts, there is really nothing good in this movie. Another problem is that there are not too many stunt scenes, and the love that has no reason at all is completely untouchable. In this way, the Korean sticks are all quite beautiful, and they lick their faces and say "We can", which is really a typical "Korean traitor" face.
