Wrath of the Dragon God, the sequel to the unfortunate 2000 theatrical release Dungeons and Dragons, is a pleasant surprise in that it not only hews closer to the popular role-playing game that provides its source material, but it's also an enjoyable fantasy adventure with plenty of action and special effects. Longtime movie heel Bruce Payne, who played a second-string villain in the first film, returns here as the evil sorcerer Damodar, who uses a sinister magic orb to launch an attack against a kingdom; a brave but untested group of adventurers (all character types from the game) band together to fight Damodar and his legion of monsters. Gerry Lively, a veteran director of photography on numerous low-budget genre films, guides the proceedings with a capable hand, and the script wisely jettisons the aggravating humor of the previous film in favor of straightforward action and derring-do. --Paul Gaita

Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God is the sequel to New Line Cinema's 2000 disaster Dungeons and Dragons. This is not a masterpiece by any count, but it is a drastic improvement over its predecessor.
Honestly, I would have given this film only 3 stars except it's clear that the filmmakers really tried to make a good movie this time around. The screenplay wins out over the special-effects laden original while the performances, due to well-thought out characters, are much better too. For the first time in this film series, there seems to be an actual resepect for the original D+D role playing game source material which the films are based upon. If there is one knock against this film is that its special effects are inferior to the original. Obviously, this is due to the hugely diminished budget. Thankfully, this film does not depend on visuals for its appeal, unlike the original.
Dungeons and Dragons has a legion of fans. It's a shame they had to wait so long to see a worthy film made for them. Now this film isn't in the same league as Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings or many other fantasy films. But if the filmmakers can improve on what they did right in this film for a third sequel, then the future will be bright for this franchise.

The movie is better than I expected. The cgi effects are well done. If you are into D&D, I think you will like it.

Stuipd movie.
I am a D&D gamer for seven years now,and have no intensions to stop playing, so I could understand the way iconic monsters, spells and game mechnics were waved into the plot.
Thing is, this movie is so bad that it made me angry. It is becuse of things such as "Wrath of the dragon god" that D&D is underastimated by many people. The plot was infantile, the charcters so boering that as a DM I would have killed their players just for the intension to play them.
Another issiue was that the charcters had no in game logic- I remember a scene where the fighter (who is, of course, the leader) send the wizard to the front line of a large meele battle, to cover him while he solves a riddle. C'ommon, guys! if you want to call a movie "D&D" than at least try to make it feel like a real game.
Only for DIE HARD D&D fans March 21, 2008

I'm a bit perplexed that this movie is receiving all of the five star reviews. I watched this last night to preview it prior to showing it to my children since it doesn't have a rating. Parent's don't fear... it's a PG movie. No profanity, only a tiny bit of blood and entirely unbelievable special effects. For those of you who watched the first movie, this one is different, I'm not sure I would say "Better." The special effects in the first were better, these were 100% made for TV effects, so don't go into this movie expecting incredible dragons and unbelievable spells. Unlike the first movie, this one DID follow the rules of the D&D game much more closely, though they still took several liberties. For example Dragons in the game are supposed to be far smarter than humans and capable of speaking in just about any language they like... here they are just large beasts with sharp teeth that are quite easily killed. There was a Lich in this movie... although it's quite easy to tell he's just a guy in a bad mask. I really didn't enjoy this movie. It was boring, the acting was along the lines of a daytime soap, the FX were laughable on some occasions, the plot was alright but didn't really do much for me. This may have been better as a mini series if they had fleshed out more of the steps in their journey. As parents we still aren't sure if we are going to let the kids watch it... not because it's inappropriate, but because we are afraid they might like it and we might have to sit through it several more times. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this movie to anyone other than the most die hard D&D fans.
