Legend
Also making a D&D movie is quite hard since everybody has a different opinion on what makes D&D, so unless they go for an adaptation of a novel series I don't think it will work.
Well, there was that Dragonlance movie of a couple of years ago...
In all honesty, I don't think it matters. You can have good adaptations (LotR) and bad adaptations (Dragonlance, the new Conan), good original stories (Um... Your Majesty?) and bad original stories (D&D). They should worry a whole lot less on trying to capture "what makes D&D", instead focus first on making a good film; at least then they'd get one thing right.
In all sincerity (and to echo some sentiments above), the second movie wasn't terrible.
IMO, the second film is better than the first in every single metric - better story, better writing, better actors (shockingly), better FX...
But it's a whole hell of a lot less fun. By improving the quality, they managed to elevate it out of "so bad it's good" territory, and squarely into just "bad". At least with the first film you get to mock the Jeremy Irons vs Thora Birch duel of over/under-acting.
