History Film / DWar

* MilitariesAreUseless: While the combined forces of the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, LAPD and SWAT teams successfully shoot down multiple dragons, they eventually get overrun since they were outnumbered, outpaced and their guns and tanks were too weak against the Dawdler cannons and Bulcos' fireballs.

* DullSurprise: [[RiffTrax Sarah gets through the movie without acting once]].

* DoingItForTheArt:
** The movie was apparently Hyung-Rae Shim's dream project, and he was in tears in the DVD extras. He also wrote the script and closely supervised the special effects production.

''D-War'', also called ''Dragon Wars'', is a 2007 South Korean monster movie. Unlike [[{{Tokusatsu}} some Asian monster movies]], such as the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise, ''D-War'' uses abundant high-quality CGI and the effects have been compared to the 2007 ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' and the 2005 ''Film/KingKong''. The story, however, has been compared to extremely bad high school writing, only worse.

Contrast ''Film/TheHost'', which is a genuinely good South Korean monster movie made the year before.

* {{Mordor}}: Buraki's evil temple at the end. It even looks like the [[LordOfTheRings Tower of Barad-dûr]]!

--> Bulcos: Basically a ''Jurassic Park''-styled velociraptor, but with wings.
--> Dawdler: A large, legless stegosaur-like creature with back cannons.
