D-War, also called Dragon Wars, is a 2007 South Korean monster movie by Shim Hyung-rae, the director of the Yongary remake. Unlike 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. Contrast The Host, which is a genuinely good South Korean monster movie made the year before.
