Dungeons & Dragons(the movie)?

[Ajia Mal'Kreig]

Assume that it is a comedy in the fantasy genre and you will not be disappointed when you watch it. I have watched it a couple of times, some scenes in slow motion to catch the animation and action, and have been entertained.

If you insist on taking it seriously (as most of the critics and reviewers seemed to have done), just remember how pitiful a brand new character is when you first start a new RPG game, and the antics portrayed may seem reasonable.

GokuZool, while I'll admit the dragons were the 'best' (if such a word can be used) part of this cinematic abomination, it was still very fake. Especially if you compare it to older movies which only had access to older and less advanced CGI technology, like Dragonheart for example. The fights were good? I don't recall any of of the fights being memorable.

Ajia, even if you consider D&D: The Movie as a comedy it would still suck. All the jokes (which seem to come from that black guy who looked like he was one of the Wayans brothers) were just plain annoying. The kind of jokes where your first reaction is to either groan or roll your eyes. I hardly felt sad when he was killed by Mr Lipstick.

Can somebody make sense of the ending for me?

I got hold of the DVD and checked out the Special Features section. There are three endings. The Director explains why they choose the released one. I will spare you the elaboration.
I also discovered that the movie was supposed to be a lot longer. This would of resolved the charaticures we saw vice the characters we should have learned about problem. It would have also removed that stupid choppy feeling you get as seemingly unrelated scenes pop in and out.
The actors seemed to enjoy making the movie. I know I would have if they were paying me that much to run around in psuedo costumes, evoking one liners and looking both perplexed and confused.
