Oh well, I guess the director should have not done it and another fantasy movie would not be made. I hate how people can be so critical of things. If they made this movie to fit the standards of avid DND players, the average joe would not like it, it would be too complex. Why do you think George Lucas came up with Jar Jar Binks. For the stupid people. They story had to be simple to tell a story that had so many elements, not even the actors could keep up with. How many of the actors in DND do you think have played the game? Think about it. Now be lucky there was a movie out there for you to bitch about. I liked the effects, especially the...

huge dragon battle. Let's face it, there will never be a movie that will suit the needs of obsessive fans. Get over it and enjoy it for what it is, fantasy.

BAH!! Thats beside the point. Ok so some that never played DND gose and watches it he thinks its great or he hates it,that dosnet matter. But what about the people that have played it and know what its really about? HMm?

I thought this movie was a lot like 13th Warrior in that the Beginning was alright, the Middle was dumb, and the end made me glad I wasn't paying any money for it.

There was one redeeming fact, a huge laugh me and my friend had. It was at the part where Snails dies and Ridley gets stabbed in the chest/collarbone. He turned to me and said, "The next scene is some geeky guy in front of a computer who clicks on 'Load Autosave'."

Dude, he had me rollin. Aside from that I felt jipped because I saw no cleavage from the busty Mage, and because the plot was non-existant. In fact porno's have better stories!

Mechanical puppet dragons from old 80's movies looked better then the dragons they had and the ending was the WORST ever I honestly cant think of a worse ending in a movie. The 13th warrior was good!!!!
