Synopsis: Dungeons and Dragons: the Movie (2000)

Synopis: In the mystical land of Izmer, a class of Mages rule by means of magic and otherworldly powers. One Mage, Profion (Jeremy Irons), wants to rule the land by himself and hopes to topple the young and inexperienced Empress Savina (Thora Birch) by acquiring her mystical scepter--the key to controlling the Gold Dragons. To counter Profion's plans, a young mage named Marina has to find the legendary Rod of Savrille--they key to controlling the Red Dragons. Marina teams up with a rowdy dwarf, an elf, and a pair of thieves named Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans). But even with the help of this team, Marina's path to the Rod of Savrille is a rocky one laden with booby traps, puzzles, and Damodar--Profion's henchman, who threatens death at every turn. Nonetheless, the Empress and her followers are determined to face the odds to prevent the evil Profion from triumphing. The popular role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons comes to life in this film with cutting edge special effects, culminating in an awe-inspiring battle between two hordes of dragons over a huge, elaborate, Gothic city.

   Pros: okay dokey

   Cons: okay dokey

   I rented this film because I was a total fan of Jeremy Irons, and don't get me wrong, I still am, but I don't think this was one of his best. Though Irons executed the role pretty well, I think the story plot was a bit out of place, and the graphics weren't all that great either. I personally don't think that such a great actor should be wasting his precious time doing films like that. But perhaps that's just me. So overall I would give this film three stars out of five and grade it at a big fat C. (Sorry Jeremy. It just really wasn't all that great.) If you wanna see Jeremy really in action and at his best you should instead go rent 'Die Hard With a Vengeance', 'Reversal of Fortune', or 'Stealing Beauty'. ...

   This DVD is loaded with goodies. Commentary, deleted scenes, and all you ever wanted to know about the actual game including some footage of Gary Gygax. Unfortunately, the movie itself is less than spectacular and even D&D fans won't find much to enjoy in it. The special effects are spectacular. The characters are somewhat interesting, but if you truly wanted to represent D&D it seems as though there should have been someone from every class from the original game. Marlan Wayans as "Snails" is the only thing that keeps this movie interesting. Jeremy Irons seems completely out of place in this movie as the over the top Profion. Maybe its the fact that his hair is too perfect. The main flaw in the movie is the story itself. This feels like it was written by someone who didn't know much about adventure, fantasy or D&D. Of all the great concepts, worlds, adventures and heros that have been created for the game, you think they had at least could have found something good to use. The whole idea of a divided mage aristocracy deciding how power should be handled among the masses isn't the greatest way to kick of this series. I found that to be a little too much in a movie that was not very serious. There are too many scenes with bumbling guards running into a bar and tripping over themselves. No one gets stabbed or cleaved or run through or anything. With a movie that has so many weapons there are bearly any interesting fight scenes. This movie seems over produced and under budgeted. They can't seem to make up their minds whether this should be a Xena wanna be episode or a serious fantasy film. There appears to be a lot of effert put into this film. And that is the most frustrating part because of what this film could have been. ...
