Hooked on fantasy

"Some would say that Dungeons and Dragons is a kid movie. Okay, I'm good with that .. I'm a 60 year old kid, and I laugh at all the cliche jokes because they're fun .. they tickle my funny bone. So, yes, it's a fun movie for kids, and even for adults who crave a little juvenile fantasy in their lives from time to time.
Wrath of the Dragon God was a pleasant surprise .. a bit more mature in theme with some excellent screen effects.
These are two great movies to watch with the grand-kids .. and if the kids won't behave, kick them out and enjoy the popcorn yourself."
DnD 1 and 2

"One is classic, and funny in the sense that its trying to simulate DnD. The second movie is much more true to DnD, but maybe a little too close thus losing the sense of a story and instead just having many DnD references (Possibly this view is due to my interest in DnD). I recommend these movies only to those who have, or are still playing Dnd; anyone else seeing this will just be witness to a B-grade fantasy movie."
At Least One Good Movie

"OK, the original Dungeons & Dragons is a good movie, but I didn't like the second one nearly as well is the first. The first movie had much better backgrounds and I felt that what it was intended to show was very well done. However , the second movie was almost like seeing a completely different movie. Instead of the kingdom we come to expect based on the first movie, you find yourself in mud huts, etc. It's almost if if someone made the choice to forget what had went before. If the second movie is suppose to take place later on, then the kingdom has really gone down hill! I do like both movies but think a better second movie could have been made."
