Wrath of the Dragon God, the sequel to the unfortunate 2000 theatrical release Dungeons and Dragons, is a pleasant surprise in that it not only hews closer to the popular role-playing game that provides its source material, but it's also an enjoyable fantasy adventure with plenty of action and special effects. Longtime movie heel Bruce Payne, who played a second-string villain in the first film, returns here as the evil sorcerer Damodar, who uses a sinister magic orb to launch an attack against a kingdom; a brave but untested group of adventurers (all character types from the game) band together to fight Damodar and his legion of monsters. Gerry Lively, a veteran director of photography on numerous low-budget genre films, guides the proceedings with a capable hand, and the script wisely jettisons the aggravating humor of the previous film in favor of straightforward action and derring-do. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews

It takes two
Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God is the sequel to New Line Cinema's 2000 disaster Dungeons and Dragons. This is not a masterpiece by any count, but it is a drastic improvement over its predecessor.

Honestly, I would have given this film only 3 stars except it's clear that the filmmakers really tried to make a good movie this time around. The screenplay wins out over the special-effects laden original while the performances, due to well-thought out characters, are much better too. For the first time in this film series, there seems to be an actual resepect for the original D+D role playing game source material which the films are based upon. If there is one knock against this film is that its special effects are inferior to the original. Obviously, this is due to the hugely diminished budget. Thankfully, this film does not depend on visuals for its appeal, unlike the original.

Dungeons and Dragons has a legion of fans. It's a shame they had to wait so long to see a worthy film made for them. Now this film isn't in the same league as Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings or many other fantasy films. But if the filmmakers can improve on what they did right in this film for a third sequel, then the future will be bright for this franchise.

Wrath of the Dragon God
Saw this movie on the sci fi channel and decided I would enjoy watching it again. I love dragon movies. Came fast in good shape

Starts out well.
The movie is better than I expected. The cgi effects are well done. If you are into D&D, I think you will like it.
