Dragonlance & DnD the Movie (I know, I know...)

[RigaMortus]

Just wondering if "DnD the Movie" was supposed to take place in the Dragonlance world. There are a couple simularities. For example, the fact that there are no divine healers/clerics, and there is a great dragon war (at the end of the movie).

No, it's not Krynn. They made up a world of their own just for the movie, "they" being the makers of the movie. I am unsure whether or not you can get any source material for this world, and I cannot remember its name.

That's like asking if the D&D Movie took place in Metropolis because it featured Jimmy Olsen and a dude with a cape.

Sucktopia. I think the capitol was Craptopolis.

I'll move this to the proper forum!

It SOUNDED good at the time...


"The Empire of Izmer has long been a divided land. The Mages - an elite group of magic users - rule whilst the lowly commoners are powerless. Izmer's young Empress, Savina (Thora Birch), wants equality and prosperity for all, but the evil Mage Profion (Jeremy Irons) is plotting to depose her, and establish his own rule.

The Empress possesses a scepter which controls Izmer's Golden Dragons. To challenge her rule, Profion must have the scepter, and tricks the Council of Mages into believing Savina is unfit to hold it. Knowing that Profion will bring death and destruction to Izmer, Savina, must find the legendary Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that has the power to control Red Dragons, a species even mightier than the Gold.

Enter two thieves, Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans), who unwittingly become instrumental in Savina's search for the Rod. Joined by a feisty Dwarf named Elwood (Lee Arenberg), and helped by the Empress's expert tracker, the Elf Norda (Kristen Wilson), the young heroes go in search of the Rod of Savrille.

From the deadly maze of the Thieves Guild at Antius to an Elven Village, secret grotto and abandoned castles, Ridley and his band must outwit Profion's chief henchman Damodar (Bruce Payne) at every turn while back in Izmer, Profion prepares to do battle with the Empress. All depends on the Rod, but outcome of the race to reach it first is far from certain, and Izmar's very survival hangs in the balance…"

No because...

Enter two thieves, Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans),

You can't combine that sentence with ANYTHING and have it be cool. It just isn't possible.

LMAO!


Sad to say, but I actually kinda liked this movie. Even in all it's suckiness.

 

[CoopersPale]

THERE WAS NO MOVIE!!!

Please?

I may be shot for this, but Marlon Wayans was one of the funniest parts of the movie for me. I liked him better than most of the other characters. The weird thing about that movie, was that it was like a Seven-course meal, all made out of tofu. It had all the requisite parts - humor, a plot that sounds good in one paragraph, a dwarf who hated horses, and a few high-powered actors in the cast - but the actual finished product was highly bland, unsatisfying, and people would grow horribly malnourished if that was the only thing on the menu.

Maybe it was the oatmeal trap rug.

I can't remember, but does the dwarf ever get included in combat other than make that one trip attack? That trip attack is all I remember from the dwarf.
