'''''[[D-War''']]'', also called '''''Dragon Wars''''', is a 2007 South Korean monster movie. Unlike [[Tokusatsu|some Asian monster movies]], such as the ''[[Godzilla]]'' franchise, ''D-War'' uses abundant high-quality CGI and the effects have been compared to the 2007 ''[[Transformers]]'' and the 2005 ''[[King Kong]]''. The story, however, has been compared to extremely bad high school writing, only worse.
 
The Imoogi (or Imugi) are a race of magical giant serpents in Korean mythology. Once every 500 years, one virtuous Imugi is rewarded by the gods for its good deeds and given the chance to become a celestial dragon.
Line 11:
Circa the year 2000, the Yuh Yi Joo and her companion are reborn, and Buraki sees another chance to capture her and gain her power. Buraki summons his evil army of dark armored warriors riding dinosaurs and flying dragon-things, which proceed to duke it out with an army of modern soldiers, tanks and helicopters. A dramatic chase ensues, full of monsters and explosions.
 
Contrast ''[[The Host (2006 film)||The Host]]'', which is a genuinely good South Korean monster movie made the year before.
