[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2639678, member: 99"] 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. [/QUOTE]
