[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2642900, member: 30035"] This was my second viewing, although the first time I didn't get to see the final 20 minutes or so. It certainly isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I prefer it to the first one, and it's definitely better than most of Sci Fi's "original" movies. Things I liked: The cast was all British. That almost always makes it better for me. ;) The spellcasting really worked for me. Having two of the party be female, especially the barbarian. The rogue being an older guy. It was just nice that everyone wasn't young and "pretty" (and maybe that explains why he failed his Reflex save in the mirror trap). Appearances of familiar monsters, especially the darkmantles. No stupid-looking spiky armor or chainmail bikinis. The fight scenes weren't spectacular, but at least nobody looked like they were afraid of their swords (I'm looking at you, Brigitte Nielsen in [i]Red Sonja[/i]). Things I didn't like: The overacting of the wizardess Melora. The party seemed kind of wimpy for "the greatest adventurers in the land". Everyone kept calling the rogue "Rogue" all the time as though that was his name. It felt like they cut some scenes that would have helped to explain things better. Damodar suddenly became inexplicably helpless at the end. What was up with having the fighters do backflips? That was so lame. How the heck could the elf get her arm back if no one at the temple of Obad-Hai was even high enough level to cast [i]remove curse[/i]? Too much yakking about those Teranian (sp?) wizards. Still, I'll probably buy the DVD if I can find it really cheap. :) [/QUOTE]
