Dungeons and Dragons- Wrath of the Dragon God (Widescreen Edition)

This is not a movie that I'd expect most people to understand and enjoy as much as I did. Most of the fun I had watching this was in seeing how accurately things from the game were portrayed, and I have to give kudos to the people at the Sci Fi channel for bringing us something that finally wasn't an embarrassing attempt at comic humor or a dreadfully cheesy storyline. D&D-WTDG is about as good a translation as one could expect without going in to epic characters from some of the games settings.I'd rate the accuracy of this movie with any D&D pen&paper game against the accuracy of the Lord of the Rings movies -- its that good if you're a "purist" looking for a screen re-creation of the game.I haven't played in years, and yet I saw the little details most might miss, like the searches for secret doors, who actually spotted them, etc.I also liked the realism, in that not all of the characters lived until the end -- bad choices equal bad ends for some.I thought the actor who played the Thief did a good job of adding a bit of humor to the movie without giving up his tough-guy image. Much different than, say, Conan the Destroyer's laughable thief and overall cheesiness.This movie takes itself seriously and pursues accuracy with zeal, and I suppose that is the best thing about it. Because so few game adaptations do (Street Fighter?) Considering the sheer number of people who engage in online RPG's these days like Everquest, I would guess that there is a market, however small, for a movie like this.

As a keen player of the role playing game I loved Wrath of the Dragon God as to my mind this is how a movie based upon the game should be done.Not to say that an AD&D movie can't be better - there is always room for improvement. As one poster above mentioned that the movie uses characters from the game and that to me is what put the sequel higher above the first.I share the same caveat in that Damodar was never a sorcerer and still isn't! Wrath of the Dragon God is left open ended and Damodar could return to wreak havoc again, so is the main protagonist in the storyline.Highly enjoyable to almost anyone - even non AD&D players will enjoy Wrath of the Dragon God.

Thank god I did not expect to get much out of this movie.... since I got that and even less.... The worst feature was the acting of Clemency Burton-Hill (I was begging for clemency about half way through)... unconvincing, boring, dull and her eyes cannot keep still... AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Though it might not be totally her fault.... Her apparent lack of interest in her role might be blamed on the directory Gerry Lively (I checked him up on IMDB.... he has one of the best selections of bad movies against his name....) He must have been off sick for most of the time, because any worthy director would have worked to resolve some of the horrible acting.... Not Gerry!!!It is not all bad though... Actually, it is.... Bruce Payne (like Jerremy Irons in the first D+D movie) attempts to develop a significant nemesis, but is held back by weak concepts, poor editing, bad script writting and attrocious support from his fellow actors....I admit, I play D+D regularly, and there has always been complaints about the poor story writting of many of the modules.... And this is what this movie is... One long, dull, boring game module that any 5th level cleric would have spat on before giving it any recognition!!!Crap till the very end....

I saw this movie first on TV (on the SciFi Channel). There were many commercial interruptions, which spoiled the movie.Being a fan of D&D, I bought the movie. When I watched it without the interruptions, I thought "Wow, this is a good movie". D&D fans will especially like it, because it references many favorite modules (like S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, C2: The Ghost Tower of Inverness), characters use D&D magic items, as well as being consistent within the context of a D&D world.The movie had a complete D&D Adventuring Team: a Cleric, a Mage, a Barbarian, a Thief, and a Fighter. All were well acted and played by the actors and actresses.I wish the movie had a bigger budget for special effects, then it would have been a truly amazing movie (which is the only reason why I gave this movie 4 stars instead of 5).

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this movie held my attention from beginning to end. I even found myself rewinding a few scenes just to catch some of the rouges movements. I enjoyed watching the heros as they used their abilities to work as a team, where as in the first it seemed like it was every man for himself and were either neuteral or chaotic good. (I think I have those terms correct. It's been a while since I've been in a D&D campaign

Also saw the screener and was very impressed. This is what the first movie should have been. The choice of film and lighting here is fantastic. The first had a fake look to it. The rogue character is just spot on casting and the rest can't be faulted. Oh, the fighter, Vex, is worth the price of the DVD alone. :)

So good. Really really really good.

Voici la suite de Donjons et dragons que je regarde quand je veux.

toute parfait le dvd la pochette le période de temps de livraisonil fonctionne très bien je suis très satisfait merci

I was slightly dubious about this release. Post lord of the rings I wondered if anything would ever compare... However - this film (more so than the first D&D film) had one thing the LOTR trilogy didn't have... it was D&D through & through...The acting is great, the special effects fantastic & the storyline was typically D&D... They have iconic charater classes too... A Human Fighter, Human Mage (who later duals as a Cleric), a Human Cleric of Obad-hai, an Elven Mage, a Human Barbarian & a Human Thief... together the band is set.The film, whilst enjoyable in itself for non D&D fans, really shines if you know the rule set... It has it all there... down to spell components & somatic hand gestures & subtle integration of skills & feats. There are gust of wind spells, barbarian rages - I had great fun!!! And the more you watch it, the more things you pick out! As a big fan of the mage class - I can honestly say both mages were amazing!!! It made me want to get out my rulebooks & start playing!!!Don't miss the extras either as they have nice touches (like character sheets for the main players!)... Seriously - if you're a D&D fan - you want this film!!! (Just make sure you can play Region 1 DVDs!)

Great item and seller

On critique facilement une suite, surtout lorsque le premier volet n'était pas terrible; mais ici le film est agréable à regarder. Les acteurs restent convaincants sans surjouer (contrairement au premier film), notamment Mark Dymond (le héros), Clemency Burton-Hill (sa dulcinée victime d'une malédiction) et Ellie Chidzey (la guerrière accompagnant le héros). Ici, pas de blague potache lourdingue et le scénario, même si il n'est pas exceptionnel, reste convaincant et respecte le credo que l'on trouve dans la licence du jeu de rôle Donjons & Dragons.De plus, le film garde une continuité avec le premier volet avec le personnage de Damodar (Bruce Payne ), le méchant de service qui était le sous-fifre de Profion.Bref, ne vous attendez pas non plus à un chef-d’œuvre, mais plutôt à un petit film sympathique respectueux de la licence.
