D&D 2 Movie Preview at Gen Con!

[The Thayan Menace]

Bruce Payne Agrees: Once is Bad Enough

That said, I enjoy watcing Sinbad, Hercules, and Xena much more than the D&D movie. I saw it once ... I have never seen it again.

"And neither have I. Now, if only I hadn't eaten all those smurfs ...."​

The first movie was bad because it wasn't a finished product when it was released. Had they finished the deleted scenes and put them in the movie, I'd have liked it a tad bit more.

I second that. In fairness to Courtney Solomon, he says on the DVD that he would have liked to have included those scenes but couldn't because they didn't have the funds.

Words of Iron: Heart of Stone

"Many of you fans just don't get it."

"This film ruined me!"​

 

[Zander]

The first movie sucked monkeyballs even though it did have it's memorable moments. My fav was the dwarf describing their women.

That joke is not original to the D&D Movie. It first appeared in an episode of the British comedy Blackadder.

Blackadder was co-written by Ben Elton who is a gamer. So he may have given permission for it to be used in the D&D film.

Words of Iron: Heart of Stone (Part II)

"I've gone mad I tell you! Stark raving mad!"

"I'm spending the remainder of my days in a rest home, pretending I'm Profion!"

"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"​

Hey there JustKim!

I can't believe how forgiving so many of you are for the first movie. D&D fans seem to get the bottom scrapings of everything, our software is poorly coded, our 30th anniversary book is atrociously written, our movies are awful, and yet so many of you can't wait to strap yourselves in for another two hours of knife twisting. I salute you, brave people, and I would like to sell you official D&D bottled water.

Well I am only familiar with the one D&D movie and I agree it was awful, but does that mean every D&D movie from now on must also be awful? I don't think so.

Just because Batman & Robin was atrocious, do we automatically condemn all new Batman movies to the scrap heap?

The only downfall I could see would actually be including Paris Hilton in this movie. I'm personally tired of seeing that mule-faced, spindly, gangly creature every time I pass by a magazine stand, or clothing store.

..Unless she played a creature akin to Golum in this movie.

Otherwise I'd be giving the flick a chance. You never know until you see something.

And the returning cast member is Bruce "Damodar" Payne, if I understand it.

Mr. Bluelips???

arrrrggghhh..

i am not camping out for this one.


diaglo "who still owes his wife for making her be one of the first to see the first movie" Ooi

i am not camping out for this one.

Rule #1: NEVER camp out for a movie.

Rule #2: Too many posts of faux celebrity quotes and images in a row CAN be too much of a good thing.

Record of Lodoss war was pretty D&D-ish.

I guess the biggest problem that I had with the original movie was that it was a really really stinky movie that had nothing to do with the source material.

I LIKE Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. For the movie. I thought the animation was nice, the storyline was decent, the watching of it entertaining.

The D&D movie I didn't even get the pleasure of sitting there pointing out iconic monsters. "Is that green-painted guy an orc? Why is the tallest person in the party the dwarf? What's that guy supposed to be?" The beholder that had nothing in common with a beholder. The dragons that have no intellect.

The one tall, majestic, african-american elf in a sea of tiny tribal halflings ... and one old elrond reject ... racially, totally nonsensical.

It was somebody's horrible fantasy novel that would have only seen print at a vanity press ... getting made into a movie.

Short on funds, bad production values, over-acting ... all forgivable, if it would have just been a D&D movie.

So if this movie has some actual elements of the frickin' game in it, I promise to go see it in the theater.
