Somewhere, those responsible for the first 2 movies should be shaking their heads in shame and wonder.

They got pwned by a 5 minute "Europop" video.

Rouse, you owe me a small part of your soul, since your little act of "sharing" destroyed a small part of mine.

Just drop it off by my cube. Thanks!

They got an award-winning special-effects guy to direct. I'm not sure that's the same thing.

The pencil moustache does all the heavy lifting for the actor. Award-winning!

Honestly, the costumes were really well done. But I thought I'd gotten that family of pop song out of my head around, oh. 1989. Get outta my head!

Monkey couldn't finish watching it. Monkey couldn't get past the first 30 seconds.

Hmmm, an Oscar-winning SFX guy over the people behind the D&D movie...

Well, it does have some interesting visuals, and the lead is flamboyantly.... heterosexual. It also bears a bit of resemblance to The Princess Bride. I think Courtney Solomon should get the full version made as the next D&D movie. As others have mentioned, it couldn't possibly be worse than the first two.

That's just wrong.
Both D&D movies were... bad. But I can't be the only one who thought that the second one was better than the first.

No, you're not the only one.
