the first d and d movie be largely hat by d and d player and partly because it wasn not a good movie and but also because it be not very much like d and d the game . perhaps because of the cool reception of the first and this be change dramatically in the sequel . it now really be like the game and sure to provide lot of geek moment where viewer try to guess which spell be be cast or what magic item be be use . the character also tend to act like d and d character and and they actually explore a dungeon . unfortunately and a a movie and it have some shortcoming . for one and much of the acting be uninspired . not bad and but about a wooden a a dummy of keanu reef . the first movie also suffer from this problem and but in this movie and it probably because most of the actor be new and this generally be their first film . exception be tim stern and the guy play the rogue and who bring some life to his character . the characterization and dialog isn not great and either . less character development than in some commercial and even though this be a fairly long movie . but i chalk that up also to the inexperience of the screen writer ( though also be relatively common in d and d game and so perhaps be a feature and not a bug ) . when it come to special effect and they be about on par with sci fi channel offering . slightly well . lord of the ring it ain not . but not terrible and either . still and just judge it a a fantasy movie and it much well than most other low budget one . worth watch . and for d and d player and it a lot of fun .
