DVD Reviews of Dungeons and Dragons- Wrath of the Dragon God (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: This is Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
The story picks up 100 years after the first Dungeons and Dragons "movie." Damodar, who has been in a state of undeath and who is a fighter not a sorcerer, has seized an orb with the power to unleash the legendary Night Dragon, a formidable dracolich. In an effort to save the kingdom of Ismir, an adventuring party is formed consisting of a former captain of the King's Guard, a barbarian, an elven mage, a cleric of Obad Hai, and a rogue.
On the positive side:
1) Overall, this movie is indeed better than the first one (but that doesn't say much since nothing could be worse).
2) It really is fun picking out the familiar elements from the D&D game, such as spells, items, classes, and monsters.
3) The plot is acceptable; nothing extraordinary, but not pathetic either.
On the negative side:
1) The special effects are actually worse than the original.
"Cheap B-movie" is written all over; the goblin village consisted of a couple of huts, the corpse of the dark elf looked like a doll one could buy from a toy store, the lich looks like he is wearing a cheap Halloween mask from Wall Mart, while Damodar has some unidentifiable and sad looking creature serving him who seems to have done his own make-up, to mention just few...
2) The actors and the acting are amateurish to say the least; green and straight out of acting school or pulled out of a neighborhood retiree theater club.
The actress playing the elven mage; has she read any Tolkien or D&D novels in order to play her character? Has she even watched any, let alone all three, of the Lord of the Rings movies to get some idea of what she is doing? And of course not a single word of elvish is spoken during the movie.
The Barbarian does not look, act or resemble a barbarian; quite civilized I thought.
The priest was good as a cleric devoted to nature, but he doesn't stick around much...
The rogue is a short old man who in the middle of the dungeon laughs (!!!) when the mage's figurine of wondrous power is destroyed, while successfully finding a deadly trap!
The young and promising captain of the guard whose character is built up in the beginning is gone in a split second.
The king and the mages looked like they did not belong.
3) The dialogues are below average. Why? The writers should know...
4) It lacks efficient character development. The characters are, overall, bland and underdeveloped.
5) The movie doesn't flow; at times it is abrupt and without continuity.
6) As for the rating, why? If you're going to have it rated R (and rightly so!) at least give it the sex and/or the violence. If not, which is also fine give it the proper rating i.e. PG-13.
Though the potential for a good movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really... What is wrong with these people? Please try again!
I have to say that I was more than a little disappointed by the Wrath of the Dragon God/The Elemental Might. The first movie was more like a parody of Dungeons and Dragons mocking all those who love the game and scaring away those who might otherwise have developed an interest. SHAME! The sequel seemed a wonderful idea to make things right for a change. If moronic shows like Xena and Hercules have fans (!!!), if Harry Potter and Narnia books can be turned into blockbuster movies, then D&D's Forgotten Realms-Dragonlance best-selling novels and Greyhawk adventures should really take off no problem (that is if the work is done properly).
In a nutshell, if you keep your expectations low, it might provide for an evening's entertainment, and that's about it.
One last thing.
TO Gerry Lively: Have you even played D&D? If you have you would understand black dragons breathe acid, not fire. Those are red dragons that you are thinking of. Sorry that I am copying another's review, but he explained it perfectly.
