Dragon Wars

It’s not a good sign when the characters in a fantasy film repeatedly say things like, “What are you talking about?” and “I don’t understand,” as they do here. If they can’t follow the labyrinthine legends and myths that govern the narrative, what hope is there for the rest of us? The special effects are better than what you might expect – fuzzy, but not incompetent. Yet the only real entertainment comes from watching Robert Forster, in the Mr. Miyagi role, fruitlessly trying to explain the difference between an Imoogi, a Buraki and a Yuh Yi Joo.
