Summary: An Embarasment
Review: The Dungeons and Dragons movie represents everything that makes Dungeons and Dragons palyers feel ashamed to admit that they play. The acting is, for the most part, poor, the writing is wretched, and the plot is weak. I forget the name of whichever Wayons brother is in the movie, but he is the ONE redeeming element. Seriously! The villians were well played but had garabe to work with. The normally excellent Thora Birch was simply irritating. Even if the special effects had been revolutionary, which they weren't, this movie wouldn't have been worth the price of matinee admission. I enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons for the story and for the character. This movie was sadly lacking in both accounts. I took my then girlfriend with me to see it, and apologizied to her all through the movie. hopefully Lord of the Rings will prove to be a better movie than this... thing.

Summary: Competition for Battlefield Earth
Review: This movie is competing with Battlefield Earth for being the worst movie ever made. First of all, did the concept designers ever even play D&D, or had they only heard about it? I personally found this to be more the plot you'd expect in a cheap fantasy novel than a well laid out D&D game.Aside from the general plot, I swear the dialog was written by a 2 year old. Rather than spend a few $ on a decent screenwriter they chose to have an annoyingly large number of badly-animated fly arounds of the stupid castle. This movie makes for some great MST3K roleplaying on your part, however. Finally, the acting. I recall Jeremy Irons no actually being that bad of an actor. After a long painful experience of watching this I finally concluded that the director, Courtney Solomon, is probably just clueless or had a BAD BAD 6 months. Either way, this movie was an experiment in the heat capacity of american dollars, and should probably be avoided, and rented for MST3K purposes.

Summary: WHAT A TERRIBLE MOVIE!
Review: Well, this movie borrows heavily from many, but many other movies. This is the main problem with filmmakers that love so much other movies and grew up believing heavily on those movies that then in their movies they make the same thing, ok they like the movie, maybe one or two scenes with some diferences, but nope. Dungeons and Dragons takes whole action sequences from other movies, mostly the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. A terrible script, cheap effects, bad directing, the acting. The only good parts where these two, Thora Birch looking a bit like Queen-Amidala and Jeremy Irons providing comedy in the way he gave his lines. The rest shouldn't even go to acting school because that will be a waste of time. Well this movie is terrible but the thing that makes me feel the worse is that this movie that resulted a Box Office failure is getting a royal DVD treatment, a treatment which many of our favorite movies aren't receiving, you know which they are.

Summary: Worst Cheezball ...You Will Ever See On The Big Screen
Review: As terrible as it is, I'm astonished that this film was ever released in theaters. The visual effects and Thora Birch... are about the only reasons to watch this film, and the fx aren't even anything special. I wish that Wizards Of The Coast would have demanded more creative input into this film and written a screenplay that at least contained accurate elements of the game. I would love to have seen a movie set in the Forgotten Realms, or especially the DRAGONLANCE characters brought to life. The story was the weakest component of this movie, even if you can forgive the bad acting and 4th grade level humor. New Line should not have wasted the Platinum Collection treatment like this.

Summary: Not as bad as they would have you believe ...
Review: Granted, the first mistake was trying to pass this movie off as a Dungeons & Dragons movie. Just like every movie based on a comic book is loathed by the die-hard comic collectors for all the movie's inaccuracies, puritans of D&D will want to stay far away from this film. Unless of course, you can seperate the movie from the game. If you can, you will probably enjoy this movie. Go into it thinking the title is "Good and Evil" or basically anything else and you have a chance of enjoying it. Does the movie borrow from others? Of course - what movie doesn't anymore? Are the effects a bit dated? Maybe. Could the acting have been better? Shame on you Jeremy Irons. Why did it get 4 stars from me? Because few people even TRY fantasy anymore. Those that do, butcher it in far worse ways than this one does. In the "Scream" and "You've Got Mail" world that is today's cinema, its refreshing to see someone at least TRY. Fantasy without magic is drama - remember that when Lord of the Rings comes out later this year. Anyway, my recommendation on this film - fashion your own opinion. You'll love it, or hate it. P.S. Wayans wasn't that bad .. in fact, he did a good job.

Summary: what a DVD!
Review: I work at vidstore and I took home the screener. This movie got bad reviews back in Dec..but I'm really sorry now that I didn't see it in the theater. its kinda silly/goofy in way.. but it has this vibe that just gets me. A hell of a lot of fun all the way through.. and never boring. The transfer is near perfect and the sound is great..it really moves all over the room in Dolby surround! Disc was loaded with extras.. and the menu is a cool kind of mini-adventure in itself. Rarely do you get this kind of commentary and inside info/behind the scenes access on even blockbuster pictures..so to get this much on a movie like this is just an extra treat. I am now a fan!

Summary: Bad....Bad...Bad....oh so bad....
Review: Well, I think the title of my review about sums up the whole of the movie. The worst part about this is that I do play Dungeons & Dragons and have seen most of the attempts at making D&D movies. I had hoped there would be something good about this new one but I'm prepared to believe it is the worst yet. The acting was completely juvinile ("THE SKIES WILL RAIN WITH BLOOD HAHAHA!!"). The script was like something that had been written in the span of two days ("You're a low level mage..."). And the whole concept was as frail as a skyscraper built with matchsticks. All I can say is, don't waste your cash, heck, don't even watch it if someone else rents it. You probably have much more meaningful things to do with two hours of your life. Like doing laundry or something...

Summary: For the RPG fans out there
Review: I think that you will either like or hate this film. When I saw it myself I loved it but the person I went along with hated it, its a 50/50. Basically its about a group of characters, that come together not unlike in any role playing game/event. They have a quest to complete and along the way get in to problems to overcome. Basically every role playing game combined and made into a film.
