Given this 2003 movie's synopsis and its cover, I must say that I was rather interested in watching it, as I stumbled upon the movie by random chance in 2021. I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to now, as I had the chance to sit down to watch it.
And I made it halfway through the ordeal that is known as "Doragon heddo" (aka "Dragon Head") before I just gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. Wow, this movie was horribly pointless, slow paced, uneventful and just downright boring. Sure the destruction and the mayhem in the beginning of the movie was interesting, but then the movie lost its momentum and settled into an abysmal pace from which it never recovered.
And it didn't help much that the character gallery in "Dragon Head" was as flaccid and mundane as they come. Talk about having characters that you don't care one bit about.
Visually, then "Dragon Head" was actually adequate, but having sufficient visuals can only do so much when a movie is totally lacking an interesting or captivating storyline. And "Dragon Head" most certainly didn't have anything even remotely of an interesting storyline.
I have zero interest in returning to watch the remaining hour of the movie, because I simply didn't enjoy the storyline one bit, and I didn't care a single bit about the characters and the laughable dialogue that the actors and actresses were struggling with.
This movie had so much potential, and it was definitely wrapped up and presented well enough to make it seem appealing and interesting. The cold hard facts of the matter was a whole different issue as the movie trotted on as I suffered through one of the longest hours of my life.
I am rating "Dragon Head" a generous three out of ten, given the production value and the visuals. Everything else in the movie was just simply a swing and a miss.
