I hate to rein on anyones parade, but the original movie may have been the worst movie ever made. On the bright side, at least there is only one way to go when you hit rock bottom. Oh, dont get me wrong, ill watch it... but pretty much in the same way I watch a bad car wreck to see if I can spot any bodies. Morbid facination. Let us all get together in a communal prayer to our heathin D&D gods... Please say the makers of the D&D movie have learned from Peter Jackson. Fantasy doesnt HAVE to be cheesy.

I have the first D&D movie... it isn't good... I don't hate it but it's definetly not good. I just wish I was able to see the new movie. The bad thing is that here in Finland we won't be able to see it... *sniffs*

Ok, well, I missed it. Did it suck? Anyone see it? It must not have been that good or it seems there would have been a flood of commentary here telling me to eat my words and proclaiming it to be the master to which Peter Jackson bows before.

Here is what I've read elsewhere concerning the movie being on again.
"Its on again on the Sci Fi channel at 9pm EST this Thursday, and it won't be on again till November."
I taped it on DVR and finally watched it Sunday night with my wife. She liked it.
Personally I think trying to fit an epic DND adventure into a 2 hour movie will always leave me unsatisfied. Imagine if episodes 4, 5 & 6 of Star Wars had been time crunched into a single 2 hour movie. The interaction between each of the characters and the growth of the characters would take a back seat to the action events.
Other than that I looked over at my wife at one point and told her "hey that guy plays a (I'll leave the class nameless for those of you that haven't watched it yet) like you."
*sigh* Now I have to cook for myself this week.
JK LOL

The secret behind the first D&D movie was... They were actually playing the game behind the scenes. That's why the movie wasn't as good as it could have been. There wasn't a set script. However... Can't wait to see the new one... If it comes out on DVD and I can afford it in the distant furture...

It wasn't too bad, 1000 times better then the first. Had some depth, better acting...I really think they should focus on Forgotten Realms setting then a generic D&D setting, but thats just me wishing.
overall I'd give it a thumbs up or a 3 outta 5 stars.

yeah it was pretty good. I loved how the lich decided to play a part until he got bored. He actually let that stupid arrogant villian think he was in charge over the lich!!!
The part I didn't like was the entire battle with the white dragon. Epic adventurers who had apparently forgotten everything they had learned.
First of all, what the heck happened to the first rule of adventuring?! Keep the cleric alive!
The fighter and rogue should have flanked it while the wizard launched a spell at the first oppertunity. the cleric should have been casting protection spells, not stepping in front of it to cast that feeble fire spell. Even if the fire spell had lasted long enough to counter the whole breath weapon, the dragon still would have had the full advantage in the next round.

wow. terrible. Better than the first... but still utterly embarassing to watch. Suddenly, years of being labeled a nerd by my ol'lady for being into were in that two hours of cringing nervous laughter completely validated. Time to put horns on my hat and go get a "dungeon master" Tee shirt. Somebody, please... stuff me into a locker.

Ok, that movie sucked. It made the first one look great. I don't know what you all saw in it.
But I kinda liked the first one.

i still would love to see dragonlance saga made into a movie. who do you think would be good for the roles? As for the second DnD movie, it was way better then the first in my eyes...of course that could be because i waited in line for four hours to get tickets to see that crappy first one. But a dragonlance movie, after lord of the rings is showing how good it could be, yeah that would be cool.

ive yet to find this flick on the net . but I did find D&D the elemental might . looks like this could just be the UK version of wrath of the dragon. dont know , yet to watch it. it has that bruce payne fellow in it as well.
I only hope they dont ever touch FR with making a movie without a big big budget
