I disagree with the Twilight equaling awesome bit.

It topped the box office for at least a week. But I'm outside the teenage-girl demographic, so I will never really know what its appeal was.

Every widely advertised movie that comes out tops the box office briefly. Dragon Wars topped the box office briefly and it was the worst movie I've ever seen.

The appeal is glaringly obvious, it just doesn't lie in the quality of the plot of the acting.

As for Dragon Wars, that sucked for a very good reason. It followed the tried and tested Hollywood method for making a sucky film, essentially you take a great story or film from Europe or Asia and then you throw the Hollywood machine at it until you're left with something with the appeal of an explosion in an abattoir and then you release it. This is why most of the actual good films to be released recently have come from Europe, (Pan's Labyrinth, Reign of Fire, Dog Soldiers, etc.), Asia (House of Flying Daggers, The Ring trilogy, the Vengeance trilogy, etc), or New Zealand (Black Sheep, LoTR, etc.).

Didn't twilight have vampires that could be outside in the light? Cause that's just wrong.

I don't remember seeing anything about "Dragon wars." I just tune out a lot of the crappy-sounding film titles....

TB, Dragon Wars was actually a South Korean film. From a South Korean director. Made in South Korea.

Verily. But eastern dragons what with the deer horns and snakish body. Not western dragons what with Sean Connery voicing them, eh wot?

I know it was based on the Korean lagend but I got the impression that it was a US film...oh well I stand corrected, it seems other countries can make crap films too.

To be fair, it was made with the goal of being the first South Korean film to be majorly successful outside the country. It was made on what seems to be Hollywoodish lines.

Different countries have different standards for evil and beauty.
In Hollywood, a fat dragon might be viewed as extremely evil. smiley - yikes In New Orleans, it might not. smiley - winkeye

Yes, both forms of dragons evolved for their environments.

Although technically what most people refer to as dragons aren't dragons. They're normally drakes, wyverns, druk, tatsu etc.
Technically a Dragon is a giant serpent, a wyrm or orm.
