Amazon.co.uk Review
A sword and sorcery fantasy, IDungeons and Dragons/I the film is based on the role-playing game first introduced in the 1970s. It delivers some of the same kind of fantasy and fun the game offered, as its youthful heroes journey through a magical kingdom battling with the forces of evil. One or two scenes (such as someone having their brain sucked out by a nasty thing with tentacles) might upset very young children. But many of the special effects look tame compared to state-of-the-art films like IThe Matrix/I (the dragons in particular are rather wimpish), and though you do need full-blooded acting for this sort of thing, Jeremy Irons goes way over the top as the wicked wizard Profion. Marlon Wayans is supposed to provide some street-wise comedy, but is simply annoying. If you enjoyed playing the game you might like this, but there's a lot of competition in the fantasy film genre these days, and IDungeons and Dragons/I isn't really up to it. --IEd Buscombe/Ip BOn the DVD/B: This one disc is packed full of extra features. The film and special effects are breathtaking in needle-sharp Widescreen (1.85:1) Anamorphic transfer. As for the soundtrack, you haven't heard a dragon roar until you hear it in Dolby 5.1 or 2.0 Surround. The director Courtney Solomon, Justin Whalin who plays the hero Ridley, and the Dungeons and Dragons game co-creator Dave Arneson, offer one commentary track, which is a bit inane and doesn't really add anything to the film. However, the second commentary with Solomon, Arneson and cinematographer Doug Milsome is much more intelligent and offers some great info about the filming of specific scenes. Along with the UK trailer, there are two special features--a 20-minute "Making of" featurette, with some entertaining stuff about how Solomon secured the rights to the DD universe and the creation of the special effects, CGI, costumes and make-up and a 14-minute special feature on the legacy of IDungeons and Dragons/I. There are 12 deleted scenes, most of which are pretty near completion (save a few blue screens here and there) and the more adrenalin-pumped scenes are broken down in stages to show how the SFX were created. For those who have seen the film and want to play the game, on the DVD-ROM there is also a playable demo of Black Isle's computer game sequel, Shadows of Amn. --IKristen Bowditch/I

 Fantastic November 30, 2008
Don't believe any of the other reviewers, I thought this film was fantastic. Great CGI, very funny, emotional. Brilliant. Watch and enjoy. Much, much better than Eargon which was a very poor imitation of LOTR.
 Really not that bad April 14, 2008
Maybe it all depends on your expectations, but having read all the reviews here, I felt the need to say something more positive. Yes, there maybe faults, but I still thing this movie is far better than many other game-made-into-movie attempts (Mortal Combat or Doom for example). It's not like the games, in fact, which I believe to be an advantage. But it's fantasy, it's got the different races and some weirder creatures (I quite like the Beholder), it's got good looking actors (maybe not the dwarf), some battles and some romance. It's not a character drama if you're looking for it, but serves well enough for some light Sunday morning family entertainment.
 For those who thought that Eragon was a bad movie... September 9, 2007
...It is far better (and I mean FAR BETTER) than this utter drivel of a movie! Jeremy Irons makes an appearance in this movie, but his performance sucks... NO, make that the whole cast! The acting is really, really dire, but it doesn't end there. The sets, soundtrack, story, plot etc... are all terrible. As for the special effects, they are VERY unconvincing... even the dragons looked like they were made on a cheap old PC rather than a proper supercomputer!br /br /A VERY pathetic attempt at making a movie based on a phenominal franchise. I love the original DD game, and a fan of dragons in general. Please do not buy this as you'll be wasting you money.
I'd like to be nice May 23, 2007

...but it's hard to find much positive to say about this movie. Jeremy Irons must have needed the money, but at least he gurns his way through this in a professional fashion; his sidekick can at least do vaguely menacing, although it must have been hard not to giggle when the blue lipstick went on.br /br /The lead characters are drawn with all the subtlety one would expect of a man who has been allowed to write the script with red crayons on the back of some old wallpaper. They are by turns, appallingly naff and simply appalling. Marlon Wayans manages a new low in eye-rolling sidekickness. When one 'hero' is thrown from a tower by the blue-lipsticked villain, I found myself cheering for the Forces of Darkness.br /br /However, if bad movies are your thing, there are bits to savour and enjoy: Tom Baker's wonderful slice of ham as the Elf King (surely the lardiest elf in the history of the world!) and Richard O'Brien's splendidly camp performance as the master of the Thieves' Guild are there to treasure. Feel the love at these points because you'll want to stab yourself in the face with forks during the rest. In the long run, the forks are a more rewarding experience. :(
D'n'D (film) killed my childhood! July 23, 2006
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Many moons ago I played the actual D'n'D game. I also bought some of the books, merchandise etc.br /br /In more recent years I have been a fan of some of the computer games. Eye of the Beholder 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 being big faves. br /br /So mainly good memories.br /br /For years so many of us had wanted a D'n'D film - the nearest we got was the somewhat dodgy cartoon series. Then we are told Jeremy irons is in it. Gravitas indeed. br /br /They then serve up this pile of festering puke complete with cardboard characters (many in the wrong era/film such as the thieves), an awful script, bad lighting, ancient and poor 'special' effects and a plot that would insult a retarded goldfish.br /br /Not long after of course the Lord of the Rings films and Harry Potter films show how it SHOULD be done and the remnants of TSR go and cry in a corner.br /br /Putrid vomit in a dirty ashtray looks good in comparison.br /br /Thanks for spitting on my childhood memories!
