if the first d and d movie have be half as good a this one and well and i might actually watch it again . a little about me i be marry to a long time gamer he get the white box set for d and d and have be play for as long a he can remember . i know a bit about d and d just from be marry to him and but i be not a player . the first movie be horrible . it be poorly pace and it be not well write and iron be just awful and birch be so amazingly whiny that i be root for her death . that just a a movie goer . my husband be just speechless for about 5 minute . after that i get the whole rant and but the thing i remember most be how incredibly annoy he be that throw a rock would fool a beholder . heh . this movie be great . it be fun and there be adventure and there be trap and there be dragon and there be a lich ( even i know what a lich be ) . the character be engage and the actor be good enough that i believe them in their role ( something else the first movie be lack ) . i like the old cast and too . that be a nice change . i just couldn not have believe that untried adventurer would be send on such an important mission . so a a non d and d fanatic and i enjoy this movie . my husband be thrill enough that he do not nit pick it to death and a bad habit he have during most movie . he be very happy to have d and d well represent in the movie and be please with the over all effect and the fact that the cleric do not use edged weapon and that the elven wizard couldn not cast everything just because she be a wizard . and more thing that i can not remember off hand . this movie be good fun and keep my attention something that be quite difficult sometimes . the pacing be great and which help a lot . the character be likable and believable and the story be good . i would recommend this one without reservation and where a i would never ever recommend the first movie .
