Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

auritone This is a very difficult movie to rate. What can I say about one of my favorite bad movies... I must have seen it at least 20 times at this point and it never gets old. All props look like the were bought in a toy store and made of the cheapest plastic, the wig on the dwarf looks like nylon, the CGI wouldn't be out of place in a very low budget TV series, and the acting... Oh, the acting... One of my friends put it best when he tried to sell me this movie. "Basically, they put a salami in the directors chair and pinned a note saying "OVERACT" on it. That's the movie!" And that sums it up pretty well. It is bad. REALLY bad! But it's so bad it's good and a hell of a good time!

Marc Hemingway If you watch this film wanting it to be a film of the D&D game, you'll be upset. It's as close to the game as the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon ever was, so... Not very. If you watch it as a film, as a nice easy Sunday afternoon film, you'll like it. I actually love it. Reading the other reviews on here, I'd be put off from watching it but be your own dragon. It's got Richard O Brian in it for chuffs sake! That brings it up at least 2 stars! Don't put too much thought into the plot (sorta like a more modern Hawk The Slayer) and you'll laugh along with the comedy, get caught up in the action, boo the pantomime villain and go 'awwww' when the side kick gets killed. Give it a chance.

geekgirl101 I didn't think it was too bad of a movie, although I have to agree with a few people about some roles that may as well not have been there. I think much of the venom is about this not being related to the Dungeons & Dragons series or game.Most of the main roles are played by teenagers, so this would suit as a family movie for children who aren't young enough for Disney cartoons but old enough for some live action that won't give them nightmares.Acting is overall pretty good. It doesn't feel like a budget movie, and certainly doesn't show to be a budget movie with the dragons. You really do feel that they put a good amount of effort to make everything look convincingly realistic, but what is disappointing is that half the cast don't even have a role. They'll do or say something once or twice but they hardly do or say anything else that actually contributes their character to the movie. You start to forget they're actually there as the movie is centred on the main hero, girlfriend, and protagonists.And as for the ending it was something that was slapped in a year later without thinking about how the audience is going to relate it to any part of the movie. It leaves you confused asking yourself what just happened because it didn't happen anywhere else in the movie and there's no reference anywhere to explain why it would happen. It was an effort to make it not seem as depressing but the writer should've at least have thought of adding something somewhere else in the movie to explain why it ended like it did or an explanation at the very end instead of "don't question the gift you've been given." In fact it seems that there is a lot of unanswerable questions in the movie with the excuse that it's not to be questioned, and it leaves you a bit frustrated because you want answers to understand the movie, not to be left guessing why some people weren't allowed to help or why things happened the way they did. It becomes nonsensical jibber jabber that screams out badly written because the author couldn't be bothered to put in an explanation and left it to our imagination, but there's only so much our imagination can tell us and without any clues anywhere else you may as well say "they can't help rescue the girl because they ate bread for breakfast."

Fedorahawk To understand the pain this movie brings, imagine slowly taking off your own finger nail, multiply it by ten and then have it last for 107 minutes. Where to start, where to start. For one, the acting is tedious. Everyone brings a hokey performance, especially Jeremy Irons (I do not blame him). The story is bland, the development almost nonexistent, and the ending is the worst. There is zero payoff by the end, it technically just slaps the viewer in the face. The side characters do not need to exist, for they bring no purpose to the plot whatsoever. There is no end to the complaints one can state about this film, from blue tongues to the overacting craziness, plus the worst CGI dragons of all time. Don't watch this unless you enjoy crappy films or want to torture one of your friends.
