Being a fan of D&D, I bought the movie. When I watched it without the interruptions, I thought "Wow, this is a good movie". D&D fans will especially like it, because it references many favorite modules (like S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, C2: The Ghost Tower of Inverness), characters use D&D magic items, as well as being consistent within the context of a D&D world.
The movie had a complete D&D Adventuring Team: a Cleric, a Mage, a Barbarian, a Thief, and a Fighter. All were well acted and played by the actors and actresses.
I wish the movie had a bigger budget for special effects, then it would have been a truly amazing movie (which is the only reason why I gave this movie 4 stars instead of 5).
I'd rate the accuracy of this movie with any D&D pen&paper game against the accuracy of the Lord of the Rings movies -- its that good if you're a "purist" looking for a screen re-creation of the game.
I haven't played in years, and yet I saw the little details most might miss, like the searches for secret doors, who actually spotted them, etc.
I also liked the realism, in that not all of the characters lived until the end -- bad choices equal bad ends for some.
I thought the actor who played the Thief did a good job of adding a bit of humor to the movie without giving up his tough-guy image. Much different than, say, Conan the Destroyer's laughable thief and overall cheesiness.
This movie takes itself seriously and pursues accuracy with zeal, and I suppose that is the best thing about it. Because so few game adaptations do (Street Fighter?) Considering the sheer number of people who engage in online RPG's these days like Everquest, I would guess that there is a market, however small, for a movie like this.
***SPOILER ALERT***
THIS go round, the movie is set a hundred years later, the plot is decent, the acting decent, and oh my gosh! They ACTUALLY paid attention to character classes! When you meet THIS movie's thief, you know he's actually a THIEF, and that's how he makes his living. The barbarian is a surprise, but very well-played. While the actor's expressions are a little wooden at times, and there's a couple of continuity blips (i.e. supporting cast is in one clip, and when you go back, they've suddenly vanished with no explanation), it's overall an enjoyable film for longterm gamers.
And while the action (and hack and slash) are pretty cool, it's the mage Mallora who steals the show---along with some truly creative traps, and a lich secondary character. It's definitely worth the rental, or even adding to your home collection. I hope, should further movies ensue, that they will continue improving... because the rate of improvement over the first movie, to this one, is truly vast. I give it three stars because there are areas where the dialog or reactions are a bit wooden, and the story a bit predictable... but it's enormously better than the first film, and should've been the one released in theatres.
One area I was a little disappointed in was the musical score: very inconsistent. They had some nice "celtic music" type segments... but for the scenes with full orchestral arrangement, the music failed to add enough to the suspense and to help build the action. I'd like to see them get someone like Alan Silvestri, Howard Shore, or Gerry Goldsmith for a third movie, to score the music.
That being said, this movie is nowhere near as horrible as the first one. The effects are better, the story is way better, and the acting is not nausea inducing.
I've played D&D forever and I appreciate the subtle nods to the genre that the movie did give, but any of these reviews that you read that say the movie was fantastic and a total homage to D&D are full of crap.
It's not terrible, the first one showed what a bad treatment for D&D could be. And while I really wanted this one to be good, it was just your average Sci-Fi channel C grade movie.
The afforementioned nods to D&D are "I'm a thief I'll find the trap", "I'm a barbarian and I go crazy sometimes",and "divine magic is different that arcane magic"....yeah thats it, oh and a lich that looks like a ...er,well....not a lich. Whatever your expecting, this isn't it, unless your expecting a moderately better movie than the first one. I rated this movie 3 stars because the first one was a 1 for sure and this one was at least 2 stars better than that.By itself it would have gotten a 2.
If you're curious rent it, but under no circumstances buy it, because you will not watch it again unless you've completely forgotten what a disappointment it was the first time.

The special effects aren't A class but they aren't puppets either. There are no huge continuity errors and the plot was fast paced, fun and contrary to some opinion exactly the same as a standard D&D adventure: Bunch of heroes sent to find orb so that town can be saved from evil, basic d&d plottage. Enjoyable for both D&D fans and those who aren't.
I thought it a much better film than the first (even if the first film had Jeremy Irons) It felt like a D&D movie and that the writers had been gamers (checking out the extras - they are)The cast read the books and actually put some effort in. Enjoy it, just don't expect wonderful special effects and A class acting.
Good acting, solid D&D plot and nice digital effects.
I too was highly dubious about buying this after the utter crud of the first film but it exceeded all expectations. I don't even mean that this film is only good because it's better than the rubbish first, it's actually a GOOD fantasy film.
I'm writing this at 22.30 after just finishing the film and I'm a 41 yr old married family man, not a D&D teenage-fanatic! (Ok I used to be one....ok I still play occasionally...)
Anyway....
Don't be put off by the first film, give this one a try. I PROMISE you will be happy with your purchase :)
