Summary: REALLY bad, but in a good way
Review: OK, you have to take this movie with a BIG grain of salt. It's very campy and silly, but it doesn't pretend to be anything more.
If you picture the movie as being in the minds of a bunch of 13 year olds, hopped up on Jolt cola at 3am playing D&D, it not only makes perfect sense, it becomes a whole lot funnier... and a little sad at the same time.

Summary: I've just been given the D&D license!
Review: Let's see, what do I do now? Do I go over the volumes and volumes of fantastic material that D&D has produced over the years and see if I can find a story to bring to the silver screen?Nah, too easy. I'll write my own cool story, complete with bumbling thieves and very eeevvill villians, toss in some staples of D&D like dwarves and elves, maybe a monster or two, some hackneyed plot about how a righteous princess wants equality among the classes of Izmer and, while I'm at it, destroy everything a D&D fan holds near and dear. Why? This movie, if done right, could have been BETTER than Lord of the Rings. But, for reasons unknown we are stuck with this for the big budget D&D Hollywood production. The flaws with this movie are too numerous and painful to mention. I'll just go over some of the main ones that show how the movie destroyed some basic tenets of D&D in one fell swoop. -Dragons are mindless lizards?
-Gold Dragon gets killed by a collapsing gate?
-A Beholder is reduced to being some sort of snoozing security guard?
-Blue Lips?
-Magic library not protected, not even by magic?
-Snails dies, whats the matter, no clerics?
-Thieves scream when doing "a job" and also wear stolen merchandise on their head
-3 room "maze" has never been completed? There are plenty more, and I am not even mentioning the acting and plot, which are equally horrid. When watching this movie, I kept on wishing someone would cast an imprisonment spell on the entire party so I would no longer have to stare at them and wince at their antics, sadly, it never happened(man, even a maze spell would have sufficed!).

Summary: good movie
Review: The movie was good. For those that are hard core D&D players, I can see where you might not like it. But, it is just a movie and it was entertaining. I say buy it!

Summary: great fun for the family
Review: This movie has been looked at in many different ways I say people give it a rest its just A movie. if people have to point out ever little plot point in ever movie then whats the point of even watching a movie just enjoy the movie for what it is. I liked this movie it has A lot of action the story is nothing new but it holds up nice. the best part of this movie is their is an ariel battle with dragons that is very good. I would recommand this movie to any fan of star wars or lord of the rings.

Summary: I saw "Dungeons & Dragons" in the movie theater.
Review: ...to it's defense, the title DID deliver on the promise of having BOTH dungeons AND dragons in this motion picture.

Summary: WHY?!!
Review: I used to play D&D when I was younger. I loved it. I dreamed of the day that they would make a D&D film. Imagine my disappointment when this load of garbage came out. I was stunned. Why would they make such an obviously rotten, stupid film like this? Why? They had so much material with which to work. Just look back at all the incredible scenarios that the makers of D&D put out over the years. Utterly brilliant stuff. So why didn't they just adapt one or more of these scenarios? Why? They totally blew a great opportunity. This film could have been as good if not better than "Lord of the Rings" if they had the right storyline. I weep for D&D.

Summary: Ouch...The worst...
Review: It's puting the name of D&D in vain! Has the director ever played D&D? Seems like he hasn't played one game! Oh..And a dragon getting killed by a gate? Madness! What the heck is wrong with them! This movie sinks so low... I wish I could have an option of -5 stars instead of 5....The lowest I could do was 1..Poor old me....As for the rating -***** -five stars. I want a redo!!!!!!!!!!! I want an actual fantasy movie! Warning!
DO NOT BUY! Buy Lord of the Rings instead! DO NOT BUY!

Summary: Eeks!
Review: *Dungeons and Dragons (PG) what can I say? I am dumbfounded. The Rolodex of famous films wasn't just turning, it was WHIRLLING in my head as directors from Fritz Lang to Steven Spielberg were being raped and pillaged before my eyes. I kept saying the titles 'Reversal of Fortune' and 'Dead Ringers' in my head to remind myself that Jeremy Irons CAN act. And poor Thora Birch! She made the acting in The Phantom Menace look like A Streetcar Named Desire. I will say that you know a film is ENJOYABLY bad when the plot surround three pairs of sexually ambiguous couples, all in relentless pursuit of something called 'The Rod'.

Summary: Great extras on the DVD
Review: This is a bad movie. I will make no attempt to deny it. However I think that this is mostly due to one thing. Bad acting. Sure it borrows a lot from 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the lost ark', but that doesn't really matter, because those movies borrowed a lot from old serials, errol flynn movies and the like. If the performances had been better we could all sit back and have a fun ride. But for some reason Courtney Solomon has no comprehension of what a good perfomance looks or sounds like. The DVD has some great extras. The documentaries a commentary tracks all go along as though the film were good, which has sort of a bittersweet quality since we know it didn't turn out that way. If you can find a used copy of the DVD for a low price you might want to buy it for this reason alone. And, I must confess, this movie is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. It's bad, but it's probably the most enjoyable bad movie I've seen since 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'. And strangely enough...I want to see the sequel. For this reason and the DVD extras, I grant this DVD a second star.

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: Perhaps I should mention that I collect B-movies, those really bad sci-fi flicks from the 50's that are only still around because they're so bad they're funny. This movie is truly horrible. Of course I bought it on VHS.
There isn't a single element of this movie that is in any way interesting, creative, or good. Remember Indiana Jones, when he makes his way through dangerous mazes to get the item of the day? That's here. Remember the bar scene in Star Wars? That's here. Remember that story you wrote in the fourth grade that starred you and your friends fighting monsters on another planet? That's probably better than this. The hero, his token black guy sidekick, a random attractive female, a dwarf, and an elf go off in search of...well, that's never made quite clear. That's ironic, considering the fact that bland exposition seems to be the writer's forte. The plot (what little there is of it) involves dragons, a political power struggle, and a cute little empress who thinks that discrimination is a bummer. The villain is evil because he shouts and bulges his eyes a lot and even does that annoying slow-clapping-thing. He really has no motivation; all he has to do is push the empress off of one of the balconies of the CGI castle and claim the throne. Instead he calls on dragons...or something...and sends a guy with blue lipstick after the hero and his gang. The dialogue sounds like the writer took the scripts of several summer action movies, cut them up, and glued them back together, adding a bit of fantasy mumbo-jumbo and unpronouncable names here and there. Classic lines such as "I wouldn't do that if I were you," "You shouldn't have done that," "At last!," and, when the token black guy dies, "Nooooo!," are lurking at every turn. So is over-acting. Even the extras act as if walking down the street is the most important event of their lives.
I could go on. But I'll spare you. Spare yourselves. Don't watch this horrible movie unless, like me, you are greatly amused by horrible movies.
