On Sci-Fi they will have D&D 2. Oddly I think it will be better then the first one. From what I have seen I can't wait to watch.

Dungeons and Dragons 2

[DM Agony]

Its been on my Calender for a couple of weeks now.

[DM Chicken Little]

I was working a convention when they announced the initial screenings of DnD. The guy who played the dwarf kept making the joke, "If this movie fails, ill be doing shock porn at 3am on cable...but im comfident this will be a blockbuster."

Since then i try to keep an eye out at 3am to see what he is up to. I doubt they can make a movie worse than the first one.

[Brigadier Syndir Isendur]

Was I the only one who watched this? For everyone else's sake, I hope so.

The movie has one great scene. In classic Dasarian style, the mage sends her familiar, a dove, flying down a trapped passage where it is thoroughly fried by a lighting bolt. It gave me a good chuckle. Thoughts of Drakin being used to open the Koalisk chests came to mind.

[Vahene]

No, I watched it also, I loved it. I laughed hysterically at the dove.. I also thought of Drakin immediately. I also liked, in typical Dasarian fashion, the warrior/leader goes first.. letting the rogue sigh and shake his head as he trails behind, stopping everyone when there's a trap from killing themselves.. which is oh so very true to our world here.

I also liked the harpies.. and wondered if that little neck nibbling ability could be added. That was mighty nifty. All ours do are charm.

I also loved the lich.. a lot.

-K, who isn't sure how Raven and Maelstrom got roles in the movie but.. isn't complaining

[Evelond Formos]

So was it good or bad?

[Holly]

Bad.

It wasn't worse than the first one because that is an impossibility, but they made the exact same mistakes.

[Vahene]

So was it good or bad?

I personally liked it, but then again I liked the first movie too, and I know a lot of die hard D&D'ers didn't.. for reasons that might be explained profusely after I post this. Heh. No, I know why people didn't like the first movie, and from a strict rule interpretation, I'll go with them, but for the entertainment value, on both films, I loved them.

Overall, I liked the second film.

My big beef with the second film was that ...

(this is a serious spoiler, so if you plan on trying to see a repeat of this film sometime or if you haven't seen the first film.. don't read any further..)

.

...my beef with film number two is that in the first movie, the mage that put the curse on the evil big bad in film number two.. -did- lift the curse, or so we were supposed to think. He did lift it, at least it looked like to me, and then baldie went on to fight--whereas he was in mortal pain before that. So.. the consistency isn't quite there. But, I also understand the need for a sequel as well, and they put it in so that "well, it didn't quite get taken out"... I can deal with it a bit, but it still bothered me.

Unless, of course, it isn't the same curse, in which case, that makes no sense at all, and there's no historical reference -at all- for us to go back to. Then, they're totally failing to educate us other than what big bad baldy tells us in the second movie.

-K

[Evelond Formos]

If the first one is worst, you can also say the second one if better (and on the back of the Shrek 2 DVD, it said the second being better than the first is a hollywood rarity.)

Little sisters can tell you a lot you don't know without realizing they're doing it

[Armitage]

It was ok. I think for a made for TV movie it was more then I thought it would be.

They could have done stuff better, but hey most likely they never played the game a day in their lives.

So as a way to kill two hours...yea I would watch it again.

[DM Agony]

I was unable to catch it actually, and by the looks of it I guess I can wait.
