AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

teralitha The main plot of the story is interesting. I would give it a 10 except for some of its flaws. First, the bad.1. The early interaction between Berek and Valarius was kinda lame. I know they wanted to portray weakness in the leader of the quest for later emotional points, but that scene was just lame. They should have gone about it differently. Otherwise Berek played his role very well.2. The cleric, Dorian. His part to play in the movie is almost non existent. And the actor playing him was kinda... blah. The only thing he does in the whole movie is bang a hammer, banish spectres, and make a weak fire shield before dying. They should have had a better actor and added more to his role before killing him off, which I didn't mind.3. Malora. I liked her acting for most of it, but the early spell casting scenes were a bit fake looking.4. The movie was too short in my opinion. It needed more. A really good dungeon and dragons movie with a good story would really need like 3-4 hours. Why they cut things out I don't understand, and didn't fix inconsistencies.5. In the bonus features they show the character stats as they would be from the game. And... there are inconsistencies. Berek, Dorian, Lux are all lvl 7. I don't recall seeing Nihms level or Omaleen(elf wizard) But she had to be at least lvl 10 or 11 to have 2 teleport spells memorized. Berek also was listed as having 19 strength(naturally?) They said he was wearing bracers of titan strength, which I believe would be something like 25(Godlike) His character never once was portrayed as having this godlike strength, Nor was did the actor even look remotely muscular to have a natural 19. Malora class and levels and actual profession are confusing. She was listed as a lvl 5 mage/level 1 cleric of obad hai. This would mean she was dual class, and according to the rules she could never gain any more levels as a mage. Yet, at the end of the movie, she was added to the council of mages. Her whole story seemed to revolve around the idea that clerics of ancient Turan wielded elemental magics(like mages) and it was some long lost secret that apparently clerics(finest healers in the land) at the temple of Obad hai had no knowledge of. So basically the writers got mages and clerics mixed up in the back story.The good. I like the action music. I liked most of the acting. I liked most of the story. I liked the emotional drama. I liked how they stayed as true as possible to the game. Overall I like the movie and have watched it many times and will watch it many more times. Im glad to own it.

aloysius_predato As far as fantasy movies go, it is far from the worst you will ever see. This movie did absolutely all it could with the budget that was allotted to it. A boring Sunday afternoon saw me watch both D&D and D&D:WotDG. I did not feel led to review the first, though I found it more or less enjoyable, but not without exasperation at its flaws (namely the PS1 quality dragons). That being said, it is next to impossible to create a true fantasy movie without a extensive financial backing. The budget for this movie was approximately 15M, while the budget for D&D (2000) was around 45M. The budget for Return of the King (2003) was roughly 94M. True enough, D&D is no LOR, but it is intriguing to think what either of these movies could have been with such a budget, especially when I found WotDG much better than Eragon (100M) and Clash of the Titans (125M). While Eragon was impudently mishandled in all facets save costume and design, CotT's visual effects, choreography and production design are its strengths, while those are the utter weaknesses of both D&D movies, directly a product of a vastly inferior budget. At the same time, the CotT's script and storyline is powerfully abhorrent, while WotDG is fairly strong in those respects, at least in my opinion.You could do much worse than this.

Rogue12 In spite of the centaur-drawn-chariot wreck that the first film was (and how I wish I could wipe it from my memory,) I watched this film anyway and was truly pleasantly surprised. Being someone who had played the pen and paper version of the game for decades now I could actually SEE where they had taken ideas from. The characters fit their archetypes and the game mechanics were visible in things Mage's spells having to be memorised for the day, and actually using the White Dragon and then having it use it's Cold Breath weapon rather than pandering to the studios and money people by making it breath fire as I am sure would have happened were it a bigger budget film was refreshing to see. They were FAR more respectful of the source material than the first movie (although that was not exactly difficult), the writing was actually competent, the actors took that and played the roles well, the lack of a fantastic budget was obvious but the few real failings of the film can on the whole be forgiven and put down to the lack of finance as the cast and crew obviously tried hard and did the best with what they had. In my opinion the film played out like an adventure would on the table with most of the encounters falling into set pieces that I could easily have seen played out around a table with friends. Nearer the end the film gets a little more 'FILM-formulaic' rather than true to the game but as it IS a film I can let them off with this little bit too. All in all not a bad production, the effort and attention to detail was obvious and well received by me (Especially after it's predecessor). If you want to watch a D&D film make it this one .. for you own sake !!

wyldcat2500 Too many complaints about this movie IMO. This movie was fun to watch. It was like seeing a live action version of a very "standard" D&D module. I'm NOT saying it was good or stellar movie making, I'm just saying people need to have a little "fun" with a movie. Had this become a series on sci-fi people would watch it. It's no worse than any sci-fi original movie and a lot more entertaining than TNG doing the same kind of crap on the holo-deck. Besides, the chicks were hot, the cleric actually died doing something foolish, our hero is good looking and a believable leader, and how can you not like the smart ass rogue? Learn to have some fun people.
