Without question it was FAR better than the first D&D movie. The acting was...adequate to convey the story and that's probably the best that could be said for it. But it did accomplish the primary thing that it needed to, which was to interject plenty of D&Disms into what we knew would be a B rate movie.
I was pleased to see the D&D ads during the movie but good God there were a lot of commercials! I started paying attention to when they started and ended and I'm fairly certain that the pattern was approximately 10 minutes of movie and 5 minutes of commercials. It really hurt the flow of the film. I recorded it on the DVR so I'll have to see how it plays when I skip them upon watching it with my D&D group some time.
My best laugh of the night was reflecting on the D&D commercial with the 3 "Rules" and how they related to the movie:
1 - Never split the party! (They split the party)
2 - Keep the Cleric alive! (They let the Cleric get killed)
3 - Always check for traps! (They did better than average on this but the barbarian almost violated it)
Anyway, it didn't completely suck so that's a big step in the right direction. Regardless, I still think I'll wind up liking The Gamers II better when I get a chance to see it.

That wasn't a familiar, it was a figurine of wondrous power. Hence the reason it turned back to porceline when it was destroyed.

scatterings of thought.
Better than the First.
I like the electric path trap and solution.
The Elf wizard was nibble-ishious, Lux was vera nice.
The Ads were fun. No Magic:The Gathering "Send in Ted, from accounting", but still good enough.
I have learned that you can chop down trees with a warhammer, if you pray before doing so.
Damadar is certainly no Xycon.
And how can us old school gamers not love the reference to 1st ed modules. We just needed a reference to the Styeading of the Hill Giant Chief to make my day complete.

Saw it, and thought it was definately better than the original.
The barbarian chick, Lux, was quite hot, as was the main character's wife. The elf girl was okay, but not as good looking as the humans.
I did like the references to classic D&D modules as well as recognizing certain spells and magic items.
Sadly, there were no gelatinous cubes in this D&D movie either. Hopefully one will show up in Dungeons & Dragons 3.

A good movie, actually.
