Dungeons and Dragons 2

[Altalazar]

I think those who slam D&D the first movie are just way overstating it.

Sure, it was disappointing, but most movies are.

I'll give this film a chance, like I give ALL films a chance. It peeves me to see something slammed that isn't even out of the larval stage yet. It is just petty posturing and band-wagon jumping, plus the typical cliched attempts by people to seem cool and superior by saying something sucks.

This film neither sucks nor is it good. It does not yet exist. Maybe it will be great, maybe not. Time will tell.

How can they make a D&D 2nd movie when they never made a first one?

and I'll say it again, THERE IS NO D&D MOVIE, NO! NO! NO!

Duh.


It's all part of the "victimized gamer" approach many like to take.

Feeling left out, again? You'll get no sympathy from me, weepersaurus...

But who'd want to pay admission ticket to see a disappointing movie? (Well, the first time when after watching it you realized you just wasted nearly two hours of your life that could be better spent on better films ... like LOTR.)

Who'd want to buy the DVD of a disappointing movie?

I'll give this film a chance, like I give ALL films a chance. It peeves me to see something slammed that isn't even out of the larval stage yet. It is just petty posturing and band-wagon jumping, plus the typical cliched attempts by people to seem cool and superior by saying something sucks.

Hey, what I'm trying to tell whoever is going to produce the second D&D film is don't make the same mistake and disappoint us again. After all, those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. So, yeah, I'll give the second film a chance but I'm going in with skepticism and a "you better impress me this time around or else" attitude.

Or maybe it was just a bad, stupid movie?
Funny idea, I know...

The first movie was not good, but then again to hear the cast and crew talk, it sounds like the picture was cursed from the beginning and was a miracle to be made at all.

"Miracle" is a generous word to use when talking about the first movie. That's like saying "My, it certainly was miraculous when Hitler rose from the grave to devour babies, rape puppies, and set the elderly on fire."

Overstating it? I thought D&D was the worst movie I had seen since Highlander 2. That's well beyond disappointing.
It was a colossal waste of time for everyone involved. Why would you try to build a sequel, or even more shocking, a movie franchise off of that? Don't reinforce failure. Better to start afresh with a whole new idea divorced of everyone involved in the original.

I agreed. A fellow Lansingite said it well.

I think there is very little chance they'll start fresh with this one but hopefully they'll use a non-rubber axe this time around and maybe they can add some random ninja attacks to the film.

Or if only they could attract Vin Diesel to the project but I'm sure he'd want to play his character Riddick or maybe Melkor (?) I believe. Or I'd like to see Orlando Bloom revisit Legolas in the flick as a classic example of why elves before 3e were so much fun to hate.
