"Dungeons & Dragons" has wasted two entire hours of my time. Now, I'm talking about the movie. I love to play a little AD&D now and again, but please, please do not see this movie. to prove how right I am, here is a quote from HotSoup, creator of "lethal doses", a great internet comic:
"I fell asleep and still felt like that movie was a waste of my time."
the movie involves a young empress trying to keep the council of mages (that's wizards, and magical peoples) from listening to an evil power-hungry dark wizard who puts on a nice face for the council (can you say "star wars: episode one"?), who wants to control red dragons with a Scepter of great magical powers so he can force the council to keep everything in their political system just as it is.
Two young thieves and a mage-in-training are trying to help the empress get the Scepter , and must journey all around to find the map for the Scepter and get it. They are being chased, however, by a servant of the evil wizard. He looks a lot like Darth Maul, now that I think about it.
AND THE ACTING! Holy Shazbot, the acting! Everything was so over-the top! I didn't believe ANY character for even a second! I recommend all these actors be forced to watch their own movie while being force-fed every ticket stub anyone has ever bought for "dungeons and Dragons: The Movie".

But you know what absolutely made me want to run up, burn the screen, dance in the ashes, and seek out whoever made this movie to force him to swallow his own heart? They had This character, snails, who they just kill off. and THEN, at the very end, they all just pick up a magical stone at his funeral, and they all join hands, mumble something about a gift for snails, and they disappear. WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? Did everyone just die? This movie had the least amount of plot of any movie I've ever seen. Leprchaun 1,2, & 3 had more intricate and decent plots than this piece of theatrical waste.

If you like dungeons and dragons, do not see this movie. If you like dragons, but not dungeons, do not see this movie. If you hate everyone and everything, do not see this movie. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!
Anyone remember that cartoon from the 80's called Dungeons and Dragons? THAT was MUCH closer to D&D. This movie is truly a waste of time, money, brains, and life.
I feel so cheated that this was (supposed to be) a movie about D&D, what could be cooler, and yet they tore my heart out at the theaters.
