    A horrible film does NOT grant a 9/10 no matter how 'so bad it's awesome' it is.

    The fact that you are actually receiving credit writing such a piece of crap review with absolutely NO knowledge of film whatsoever is disgusting.

    I suggest you go back to rolling joints and watching Harold and Kumar 9x a day, as you haven't the slightest clue on how to write a movie review.

    You put this movie on par with Sunshine by granting it the same score. That alone makes you an absolute mental case

    I agree! Just because a movie is so terrible, and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever doesn't mean that it deserves a 9! I don't know what your intent was...maybe you are just being facetious. Maybe you are trying for an ironic slant, gleefully giggling in your cubbyhole you call an "office", trying to blow the minds of the hapless reader who takes things literally. I think it makes you look unprofessional, and invalidates all your previous reviews and your future reviews. After all, if you don't follow the guidelines and standards that your job dictates, then why should we even care what you say? I just rented 1408 and thought it was a convoluted mess, with no direction and no clear ending. Who the heck was Samuel Jackson's character supposed to be? Why was that room there? Who was that freaky, but over-the-top knife wielder that kept on popping up? What the hell was the point to the story?? But if I were reviewing the movie like you, I would give this a perfect 10! You would probably write:

    "I was so confused, I loved it! I didn't know what the heck was going on, but I loved the cheap scare factor, that didn't scare you with genuine thrills and suspense; they just blasted the audio to 150%, threw in an ugly face on the screen, and ran with it. Even though it was cliche, I loved it because of it! 5 stars all the way for a terrible job done by all! It is so bad, that I recommend you wasting your money and time on it! Even though it has no entertainment value, go into it with no expectations (basically be brain-dead) and take it for what it is! Nuke the popcorn, and enjoy the disappointment!"

    Pffft! And you call yourself a "professional" reviewer.....!

    I agree too. The reviewer is a total douche.

    I guess he wants to feel 'hip' by giving a retarded movie a high score..

    I agree with his review. I can't say I'd give this movie a '9', but the review is accurate. I saw this movie in theaters because I knew that any movie called 'Dragon Wars' was going to be a silly, shiny, stupid, magnificently steaming pile of crap and that's exactly what I wanted to see. If you watch this movie with the expectation that it's going to be two hours of nonsensical camp, it's actually quite entertaining.

    i agree completely with the review and the guy above me, although the acting is horrible and almost everything else about it. If you go into the movie expecting that it is very entertaining and yes it actually will make sense.
