This is a bad movie. The dialogue is stilted and unbelievable. The acting uniformly drab and uninspired. This film has all the warmth of a sub-arctic glacier. Never have pixies, elves, dwarfs and trolls been less appealing. The producers came up with the novel idea of substituting seemingly endless monologues for any kind of real action. The writers must have done most of their work in their parent's basements. Save your time and your money and watch some Beverly Hill Billies reruns. Watching Surf Ningas will be a life reaffirming experience in comparison to the excruciating exercise of watching this film to its dreary ending If you have never played a role playing game this movie will convince you not to.

I'll keep this short since I've wasted enough time watching this movie. I had to register just to inform those fortunate enough to have not seen this movie yet to stay away. To put it kindly, this movie made both Dungeons and Dragons movies blockbuster hits. But that is even an insult as I somewhat enjoyed the first D&D movie. Hell, even Wing Commander movie was 100 times better than this. Drawn out, shoved down your throat, story. Action sequences (3 that I remember) were less than a minute or two long. Acting no better than watching a high school skit. The makeup and special effects is where the most money used to make this film went into.

The costumes are great and the overall setting well crafted. Except for the the cheap below TV quality recording the look of the movie is really good. The acting is very mixed, some characters are played well, but most actors are as uninspired as the pace of the movie which drags on and on.I agree with the other comments about this movie, there are some good ideas in the story but they aren't played out. For a hundred minutes you wait for something to happen that's being hinted on and then the movie is through after a short and totally meaningless "climax" that makes you think: Was the whole movie just a character introduction?The high rating of this movie on IMDb comes as a big surprise. I only gave it 3/10 as a thank you for the costumes and scenery and because I am in a very good mood while typing this. I think the other voters are the actors of the movie who received a bonus to come here and give it a good rating ;).

Not bad..I enjoyed it...don't get me wrong...I am a very picky person when it comes to movies. The best ones I've seen in the last couple of years, just to give you a taste of where I am coming from, are movies such as Sin Nombre, Children of Men, Let the right one in and Pan's Labyrinth just to name a few. I am starving for Fantasy movies such as this one. I don't know why for the life of me there has not been any good movies of this genre lately, I would think these type of movies would make a whole lot of money. Can we get a proper Ad&d movie at least?? PLEASE!!! LOTR was okay...but cmon..really? that's the best you can do with that kind of budget...This movie has a lot of potential...if it is the first part of a series but, If it's a stand alone then ughh Ill give it a 4 of 10...please please do not tell me this is a one parter....that's all i wanted to say...
