http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnQXvQ1R4gg The trailer!

I haven't read any reviews of it yet, but the story looks pretty hokey. I want to see it so bad. 'cause I haven't seen Reign of Fire yet.

Oh, and Mr. Smarty Pants, it's Korean. :thumb:

Anyone looking forward to this?

Hmm, I don't know. On the one hand, there are a lot of negative comments circulating about it. On the other hand, I did like Reign of Fire enough to buy it on DVD, so I suppose I am partial to dragons.

I doubt I'll see it in theaters, but I might rent it when it comes out on DVD.

Heh. I wasn't even impressed by the trailer, and it's a lot easier to make a quality one of those than an actual movie.

Also, apparently pilot school doesn't teach you not to fly right next to creatures on tall buildings.

This looks like it has potential to be awesomely lame. So lame, that it is in fact entertaining.

Some of the things, such as big lizards with rocket launcher backpacks, and a drake and helicopter colliding in mid air in an explosion of fire look like they will be improbable but entertaining things to see. xD

I didn't like rein of fire, but this one looks like it will be good

I just can't get over the fact that the CGI dragons look about as detailed as the monsters in a SciFi Channel original. I can't imagine what those things will look like splashed all over a big screen.

I saw the commercial for this last night. I dunno though. Somehow I'm reminded of how pumped up I was for Reign of Fire and how terrible that movie was, so now I'm cautious.

People actually liked Reign of Fire?

*blinks*

Wow, I'm really sorry if I offend anyone by saying this, but it was quite possibly one of the best examples of a modern film-that-needs-to-be-spoofed.

The story made no sense. Nuclear weapons can't destroy the dragons yet a guy with a crossbow can?

As for this film, no thanks. *goes to play Panzer Dragoon*

i saw the trailer and knew right away that it was another one of the clichéd films involving some crazy creatures vs. mankind...

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Japan the people eating island vs Gamera? XD

You know, I do love it how most of these films involve the creature being invincible to anything but the most unlikely weapon. I always, always found that to be the most hilarious cliche.

This film might be good, but might not hit the same impact as Transformers 2007 has.

I think the reason why it's all "lol Korean" because the director is Korean.

This film... doesn't look too good, lol. I may give it a chance though. It looks like it'll be a major flop.

i loved reign of fire- who cares if the story was hokey, it was a much better dragon-movie than eragon was (even IF the book is ok).

Dragons=auto win. its like transformers- no one went for the story, just the giant robots. except, replace 'giant robots' with dragons.


i want to see this bad, and, imo, the dragons dont look that bad at all. sure they could be better, but hey- they are still friggen huge dragons killing each other!
im a back.
