Things I would not like to see in the new D&D movie:
The new D&D movie.
That said, if I had to actually take the premise that there will be things worth seeing in this movie, I'd mention the following:
mind flayers
drow (evil drow, not more Drizzt-wannabes)
liches
In fact, I'd say the director should just go adapt Paul Kidd's White Plume Mountain into a screenplay. Now that would make a good movie (despite some canon inaccuracies), even without the three things I mentioned above.
I, of course, will see this if its in theaters, and buy it if it comes out straight to video. I, too, am such a tool.

A actual plot.
Actors who actually want to be there.
Maybe a couple of accurate D&D references, just a couple would do.
Either no Wayans brothers or all the Wayans brothers.
No nameless dwarfs who look like Joe Piscopo on a three day bender. Might we have a dwarf who actually doesn't seem like a last minute rewrite to the script. Maybe even multiple dwarves with actual personalites. I don't think wanting decent dwarfs is too much to ask for.
Somebody to point out that Dark Elves are the evil ones in D&D.
A written apology for the first movie and a promise that somebody on the set actually picked up a D&D book and flipped through it before they started filming this time.
Kevin Sorbo and Lucy Lawless (why not)

Come on... I'm sure he's dying to play out his character.

Well if were going into fantasy land I'd like a John Milius script and for it to have a actual snuff scene where they behead Carrotop.
If Vin is in it he needs to be a extreme thrill chasing Drizzt and there needs to be a paragliding/bungijumping scene in the movie.
I'd settle for a decent dwarf though.

Heheeheh. Took me a few seconds to get that one.Mark said:
What would I like to see? Well, besides something that doesn't suck I would LOVE to see something that I can point to (besides LotR) that makes a good example out of my hobby. Adapt one of the current novels if they have to, but even on a $25 million dollar budget a good movie could be made. Not that I have ever made a movie before...

1.) Drow
2.) Ninjas
3.) Drow ninjas
Seriously, I would like to see at least one cool swordfighting scene a la "The Princess Bride" or "Rob Roy." And a cool bard character with some good songs to sing.
