this movie be everything that the first movie should have be . i still would have prefer to not have damodar back and but at least he do not have blue lipstick this time . overall and i like the intensity that bruce payne brings to his performance and but i still haven not see a role where he balance that intensity with believability . if you play d and d and you will find moment of every game you have ever play in this movie . i really liked our hero and sir baric and and i like the barbarian and lux and and the rogue . i think the wizardess be a little weak and a be the cleric . my favorite scene though be one of the closing scene and where you see the wizardess and the rogue clean up the temple of obad hai after receive major heal there a really nice gamers touch i thought . my 6 year old mouth be hang open for pretty much the first 10 minute of the movie and he lose interest once there be a lot of talk and or course and but he really like the scene where they traverse the tiled floor backwards ( a classic d and d staple ) . i think that the black dragon lich look wonderful and but i would have like to have see more about the human lich and and his motivation . an extended dvd version be definitely in order and there be at least 40 minute of commercial in a 150 minute segment and i would really love to see more of the interaction between the pc and and more backstory on the lich and and the council of mages . overall and one of the best d and d movie yet and although serenity be pretty close ( and it sci fi . ) .
