The nerdy RPG Player who is always going by the numbers and plays mage. The new guy, whose getting on everybodys nerves. The guy, who only joined the party to drink for free at a friends house. The smirky and mysterious dude, who always tries to insert his own ideas and disrupts the DM. The bored girlfriend who got dragged along and has to fill in for a missing player. The guy who tries to act cool but ends up being strange and dry. And finally the guy who has to overplay the crazy villain. Everthing is here. From the half-assed story, over the clicheed players, to the "players are to bad, insert confiniend plot device too drag out an obviously lost game" DM actions. Its brilliant. ^^

Underacting: Cringy, pointless to watch, hoping that they almost done with thier lines. (example: evry Kristen Steward roles) Overacting: Can be Cringy or sometimes funny to watch because they look like total buffoon (example: Nicolas Cage's bee scene in the Wicked man). In that case Jeremy irons's overeacting is way better to hear than Thora Birch's underacting. Point close

Jeremy irons is fucking hilarious in this. He's a god of overacting

Here's a reason to worry for the state of the creative industry; this film has two sequels.

There were sequels?

*Let their blood raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin from the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!* *I am turning into a human vibratoooooooor ya-tatatatatata !!* OMG the laughter is off the roof !!

Oh come on NC, the Tom Baker scene was the best. The imagery: you use magic but we elves are a part of it. That scene and actor shoule have been in a better movie.

For a movie based on a tabletop roleplaying game, this is remarkably like the plot of one of the sessions. Granted, those are usually made by one guy in his off time....

Honestly, I hadn't watched this movie until after I started playing D&D, and it reminded me of some of the goofy campaigns that my friends would come up with. It's a little more endearing if you think of it that way. It's just some teenager nerd's campaign, complete with every cliche that you can think of. It even becomes somewhat enjoyable at times like that.

I AM... OVER... THE... TOP!!!... YATTATATAATATA!!!

Enviornmental kill. On one hand the DM is happy the players are being clever, creative and willing to think outside the box... but for the most part it's just that one guy (or gal) where you know his "Can I roll for Perception?" is followed by "Would that work?".

0:32 the score for this film kicks ass though.

Ok, the whole blue lip thing has gone unaddressed for far too long so I finally looked it up. Apparently Damadar (Bruce Payne's character) has blue lips because they are a side-effect of addiction to a drug called Sannish. I don't know if it was ever mentioned in the actual movie in full since I only saw this film once as a kid, but there you have it.

If you look at Dungeons and Dragons players as opposed to the characters, i see a LOT of similarities to the characters in this movie. You got the Over Acting Overlord who's super invested, the Cheeky Funny Guy that is honestly just there to have fun, The Girl That Feels She Has To Overcompensate Buy Being As Snobby As Possible, The One Who Really Doesn't Seem To Belong, And The Dwarf... who really just wants to be a stereo-typical sloppy angry little bearded man. Two thumbs up for accuracy! :D

There's an alternate ending where he says the sad stuff at Snails' grave then just walks away... which makes more sense if you want this movie to make some sense. I like the stupid ending myself. lol.

Woodrot110 Eranoth Dragon magazine certainly thought so (I agreed), as they ran several articles laying the stuff from this movie out into third edition rules.

Please tell me in the only one that can't watch Jeremy ions without seeing scar in your head? Please tell me I'm not that only one that keeps mentally braking out into be prepared whenever they hear his voice.

Since D&D: Honor Among Thieves came out, anybody else thing they should do a fanscription sequel to this like they did with the first Mario movie?

I feel like this would be a much better movie if the people who made it actually played D&D.

@AlluMan96

Or better yet, just record a D&D game between Hollywood bigshots. Screenplay writer's the DM, Director's the co-DM and then you just gather a "cast" to play the game, maybe cutting in and out between dramatized enactments of what's going on in the game's world. With some amazing improv talent on-board, that could be something worth watching, at least for a direct-to-video project.
