Ok. I watched this last night. I had limited expectations of the movie and I stopped myself from going online to read any reviews. So i figured I wouldn't be prejudiced at all.
The movie is based on a Korean legend, that every five hundred years, a woman protected by a man transforms in a serpent to fight against a dragon in a battle between good and evil. In Los Angeles of the present days, after a mysterious accident, the reporter Ethan Kendrick recalls his meeting fifteen years ago with Jack, who owned an antique shop and told him that he was the one supposed to protect Sarah Daniels. Ethan seeks out Sarah and together they fight to survive and destroy the devilish dragon.
Now, the story line has alot of potential but is really poorly executed. The acting is ok but you just don't have any feeling's for any of the characters and there is near to no character development. The lead characters fall in love but it's like one minute they aren't and the next they are. It just doesn't make any sense.
The movie though does pick up when the dragons all descend onto the city. And that is the one thing that saves this movie, the dragon/snake.
They are fantastic.
Not one of the best movies ever, but IF there is nothing else on, nothing else to do and you have already washed your hair, done the house cleaning and re-arranged your furniture... give it a go!
