Watch Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

RELEASD TO TV IN 2005 and directed by Gerry Lively, "Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God" amasses a good group of protagonists who seek to find some magical black orb and save their kingdom, Ismir, from the wrath of a malevolent dragon slumbering in a nearby mountain. This involves an evil wizard, Damodar, played by Bruce Payne, who is the only one to return from the first D&D film from 2000. I liked the whole adventure-quest aspect of the story and the colorful group of characters who join together to defeat the wizard and save the kingdom: A noble ex-knight statesman (Mark Dymond), a cleric (Steven Elder), a rogue (Tim Stern), a hot warrior woman (Ellie Chidzey) and an elf girl mage (Lucy Gaskell). The stunning Clemency Burton-Hill is also on hand as the nobleman's wife who does her part to help save Ismir. The towering Chidzey (5'11") is nice & curvy rather than unappealingly thin, like the stereotypical model. Although I've never played Dungeons & Dragons, I read one of the books years ago and numerous others from the sword & sorcery genre, especially Conan, Gor and ERB, not to mention numerous sword & sorcery flicks (some being sword & NO sorcery, like "First Knight" and "King Arthur," lol). Anyway, this second "Dungeons & Dragon" movie works just good enough for me to give it a decent grade. Although it was relatively low-budget (I'm actually surprised it cost $15 million) it's generally superior to the typical Syfy fare and thoroughly austere compared to the campy first film. I liked how the writers actually threw in some nice character bits, like the developing friendship/respect of the rogue and the barbarian. They should've included more."Dungeons & Dragons" is a fitting title because you get your fill of both. There are numerous dungeon scenes with torches and secret passageways, as well as two impressive dragon sequences, one featuring an ice dragon and another with the mountain dragon who looks like Satan himself. On top of this you get some quality forest locations and Medieval sets.THE FILM RUNS 105 minutes was shot in Lithuania. WRITERS: Robert Kimmel, Lively (the director) and Brian Rudnick.GRADE: B-

In spite of the centaur-drawn-chariot wreck that the first film was (and how I wish I could wipe it from my memory,) I watched this film anyway and was truly pleasantly surprised. Being someone who had played the pen and paper version of the game for decades now I could actually SEE where they had taken ideas from. The characters fit their archetypes and the game mechanics were visible in things Mage's spells having to be memorised for the day, and actually using the White Dragon and then having it use it's Cold Breath weapon rather than pandering to the studios and money people by making it breath fire as I am sure would have happened were it a bigger budget film was refreshing to see. They were FAR more respectful of the source material than the first movie (although that was not exactly difficult), the writing was actually competent, the actors took that and played the roles well, the lack of a fantastic budget was obvious but the few real failings of the film can on the whole be forgiven and put down to the lack of finance as the cast and crew obviously tried hard and did the best with what they had. In my opinion the film played out like an adventure would on the table with most of the encounters falling into set pieces that I could easily have seen played out around a table with friends. Nearer the end the film gets a little more 'FILM-formulaic' rather than true to the game but as it IS a film I can let them off with this little bit too. All in all not a bad production, the effort and attention to detail was obvious and well received by me (Especially after it's predecessor). If you want to watch a D&D film make it this one .. for you own sake !!

The first film was based on the popular role-playing game, as is this sequel, the original was a huge box office flop, and I only found out about this follow up being shown on television, it was straight to DVD. Basically evil sorcerer Damodar (Bruce Payne) has returned, one years since the previous events, and he seeks revenge on the kingdom of Izmir and the descendants of those who defeated him. He finds what restores his curse, the ancient artifact, an Orb, linked to the power of Faluzure, and with this he also plans to awaken the dragon to destroy the kingdom. Fighter and former captain of the king's guard Lord Berek (Mark Dymond) and his gifted wife Melora (Clemency Burton-Hill) are investigating toxic gases in caves, where they find the slumbering dragon, and they also find out about the missing Orb. Melora is cursed by Damador in an encounter, and she hides this from Berek, while they gather together a group of warriors, female barbarian Lux (Ellie Chidzey), male Cleric Dorian (Steven Elder) of Obad-Hai, female elven wizard Ormaline (Lucy Gaskell) and master thief Nim (Tim Stern). They set out to find the enemy's lair, while Oberon (Roy Marsden) head of the Mages' Council and his colleagues try to decipher the tomes of Turanian magic, a way to defeat the dragon. The heroes travel through haunted forest, get the attention of Klaxx the Maligned (Aurimas Meliesius), solve some riddle and get through some obstacles, and Dorian is killed. Berek manages to take the Orb while injured Ormaline and Nim are teleported to the clerics, while a transformed Klaxx kills the Oberon and takes his shape, and when Melora returns his true identity is unmasked, before he steals the Orb and kills the King. The dragon has been awakened and destroying the Orb regains all its power, and while Berek rides to save the day, near death Melora deciphers the magic needed to attack the creature and restore her own health. Berek and Lux are ready to face Damador, who no longer has Klaxx at his side, and the heroes manage to defeat and imprison him in the dark dungeon beneath Izmir, all the courageous good guys get their rewards, while the villain smiles that he may be able to return again. I will be honest and say, I don't care about any story at all, as you can tell this is straight to DVD by the terrible quality of acting, the useless attempts of action sequences, and the most often times stupid special effects, it is definitely worse than the original, a rubbish fantasy adventure sequel. Poor!

I watched Dungeons & Dragons 1 a few years ago and my god was that bad.With that in mind, I started watching Dungeons & Dragons 2 with a feeling of: "Here we go, get ready for a movie that is the equivalent of being poked in your eye with a screwdriver." Surprisingly, while watching the movie, that feeling never really came to pass. Of course, the special effects don't come anywhere near triple A movies for a movie with only a small budget. The dragons and the Gargoyle were horribly animated and could have been done better. However, the costumes, the environments and the lightning were quite good and definitely worthy of a B movie rating. The characters did feel a bit bland though and could have some more additional backstory instead of the thirty second introductions of each member of the party. Especially if you consider this is a D&D movie where a backstory really brings a character to life. They also felt a bit too cliché and were typical D&D class types like the Rogue, Mage and big girl with a huge sword. But overall, it works quite alright if you are used to playing Roleplaying Games.If your not into fantasy, you really should skip this movie. However, if you like fantasy stories and don't mind the very cheap special effects, you'll probably enjoy Dungeons and Dragons 2.
