i be someone that have mixed feeling on the original d and d movie . i think the script be clunky and the acting be awful as far a good guy be concerned and it contain wildly inappropriate dialog for the setting and and the tone make light of what could have be dramatic event . on the other hand and the movie look good and have a couple decent fight scene and the huge dragon war at the climax be dynamic and excite . still and with it less than impressive reception and i figure this would be a series of one . imagine my surprise when a sequel be announce and and even great shock when i watch the film premier and find it to be everything i felt it predecessor lack . the acting and while not oscar worthy and be perfectly reasonable work from a handful of unknown . the plot be treat seriously this time around and with a minimum of cliché and jest ( although there be two laugh out loud moment ) and actually feature an intelligent foe with a genuinely epic plan for the force of justice to combat . speaking of which and the hero be a nice diverse bunch and and the film manage to showcase each one unique talent well . a for the action and eye candy and there plenty . the fight be stag well than 90 % of the action flick on the shelf and with realistic flow and quick pace . the special effect be among the best i have ever see in a non theatrical film and be leap and bound above any other sci fi premier yet broadcast ( though not quite as good a a theatrical release ) . the final battle be not as kinetic a the first film finale and but manage to be a fitting climax to the quest . if this be what this crew can produce with a terribly low budget and i say give them 70 million buck and get dungeon and dragon iii in theater asap .
