That doesn't give the movie rightful justice.
It was SO BAD, I need to go a bit more in depth.

First let me say I don't feel that I criticize movies too harshly. Even the really bad movies I enjoy watching for the comedy alone (i.e. In the Name of the King, Doomsday). But this was so bad, and so unwatchable, it's worth my time dissuading others to see it. Why?

1.) The acting was Terrible.



Another thing I don't do is criticize acting all too often. The love child of Jim Carrey and Johnny Depp pictured here has the acting capabilities of CC (unless of course CC is actually acting, then bravo).

2.) The "Dragons"



First of all, it was just a big snake, until the last 10 seconds of the movie where one of the big snakes turns into a "dragon." And that of course means it gets little tiny feet. Every time there was an encounter, the big snake tracks down the main characters at assumed giant snake speed (pretty fast) until it catches up to them. At this point the snake decides to make a ludicrously slow, dramatic approach, giving the characters plenty of time to simply run away. Worst predator ever.

3.) They managed to make this lame.



The story was Painful. Some sub-par korean legend about ... you know what, I don't even know, I fell asleep. Twice. But I did note that there weren't ANY action scenes, the parts you would expect to see some action, the main characters little necklace lights up randomly and does all the work for him. The bad guys were straight out of lord of the rings, only they made one and copy/pasted the rest.

Out of the many reviews I skimmed over just to make sure I'm not crazy, the only one I disagreed with was "should have seen this movie drunk." Even then, it would have sucked.
