Hey, I think Damodar was forced to wear that lipstick. It wasn't a healthy relationship. Now he can wear lipstick colors that compliment his skin. I want to cast Makeover!
I think D&D lends itself better to a television series because it's naturally episodic. Sure, there's overarching plots in a campaign, but every one I've been in as been structured so that each session had a somewhat satisfying ending. It would allow you to, say, have an episode that's mostly a dungeon crawl with some humor, and it wouldn't necessarily drag the pacing of the whole show down if written well.
Why does it feel like I'm watching a lost Merlin episode. To the point where I wonder (a phrase I use loosely) when Colin Morgan, Bradley James, Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath were going to show up.
Okay, I would like to take a moment to appreciate the scene from DBZ abridged. It was unexpected, but appreciated. I would even call it.... disarming.Had to get that joke in
to be fair, this is loads better than the first one. did you know their characters are based on actual PCs made by Gygax (R.I.P.) himself, he even gave the actors the Player's Handbook with tabs for each one.
I had a D&D game where I was a constable in a building that had been taken over by thieves posing as orcs during the winter solstice. I lost my boots but things got even when I got the repeating crossbow. I think that would make a good movie
you do realise there is a 3rd on too right 'The Book of Vile Darkness' oh. and that take on the first Dragonlance book, the animated one with the voices of Lucy Lawless and Keifer Sunderland
If this movie is starting to sound like "Krull," it's probably because that movie started off as a D&D movie early in development, so that might explain a few things.
In alternate universe where Hollywood wasn't run by soulless, uncreative producers you'd think that movies titled Mario, dungeons and dragons, resident evil would be films you'd see in the list of top 50 highest grossing films. You have this product that everyone around the world either loves or is familiar with. You hire the best director in the business, spare no expense, create a perfect blend of tribute and creative license and sit up back while the billion dollar profit roles in. I think they only thought the first part of that formula and wanted to experiment on how shitty they could make these ops before they flopped.
I have been binging your channel recently; but when you got to the point where "...Malora wants to summon this creature made entirely out of lava, right into the middle of their library, where they are surrounded by wood and paper...," I just LOST it.
a possible solution to many of the conceptual problems of a dungeons and dragons based film would be to take one of the novels that were written in the frenchise rather than try to reinvent it cinematically
You know: because this sequel takes place 100 years after the first one, it makes sense that the accent on how to pronounce `Izmir' has changed. Though, right now, i'm just imagining the director saying: ``yeah, evolving languages, that was totally what we went for...'' ;D
Also, you didn't mis much, whitout the third movie. I once binge-watched all three in a row, and my summeries are: - the first one is bad, but personally i think it's funny-bad - the second one is quite dull - and the third one is REALLY dull, and occasionally a bit gross Xp
I can't believe anyone hated money enough to make this.I can't believe that anyone who hated money enough to make this would bother to tie it in to the first movie instead of just starting over fresh.
One funny/sad thing, is that I actually watched this during its original air time on SciFi and EVERY commercial break there would be a quick Comment page with some little D&D rule from a players manual before the show would start again...
I wouldn't really say that the heroes' names are inspired by GRRM. Oberon is from Roger Zelazny's book Hand of Oberon. Berik was a Gothic king. Dorian might be a reference to Oscar Wilde's character. And Valerius is a generic Roman sounding name.
But on the bright side this movie stayed in my memory long enough after the first and last time ah saw it to commission some fan-fiction combining this, a table game called Forbidden Island and... The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black. I am not making that up.
I have not seen either one of the DnD movies. Based on this channel's reviews, If I were to watch the first movie, it would only be to see Jeremy Irons hamming it up. The 2nd movie has nothing that'll get me to watch it.
I think the third D&D movie is probably the best of the lot. It follows a mostly evil party and references "the Book of Vile Darkness" for a lot of it's material. Not really a family picture but a better compromise between movie and a recorded D&D session.
They took away all of Damadar's fighting skills in the sequel. That could have been an epic duel for the climax but it just ended up being a missed opportunity. Intuition tells me that the upcoming reboot will be much the same except with modern special effects.
I watched this movie when I was 11... and made almost the same joke you did when the cleric died. I personally enjoy the Dungeons and Dragons movies as staples of Bad Movie Night, though when it comes to the first one I mostly just skip to all the glorious scenery-chewing Jeremy Irons scenes. *waves hand* YATATATATATATA!
This is how I see the dumb moments in this movie. The players roll a nat 20 on whatever the fuck they were doing, and the dm just said "Fuck it and roll with it"
I don't mind the lack of continuity. Anything that makes this its own movie is for the good. It's not a good movie by big-screen-release standards, but it's not as bad as the first and it does get closer to the feel of a D&D troupe in a campaign.
Hi Sean I had a hunch you'd review this though I was hoping it be one of Uwe Boll's sequels. Maybe next time. Next reviews obviously going to be Kirk Cameron Saving Christmas. In the meantime if your reading this, could you please consider the following films for you to review later this year or sooner? 1. Green Lantern 2. The Golden Compass 3. Mortal Kombat 1995/Annihilation 4. Batman V Superman 5. Movie 43 6. Disaster Movie/The Starving Games 7. The Wild (Disney's Worst) 8. Jaws: The Revenge 9. Captain Battle: Legacy War (made by the same company who did The Amazing Bulk) 10. Godzilla 1998 11. 10,000 BC 12. Star Trek: Nemesis What do you think Sean? Would you consider these choices? Perhaps your fans should help you choose. Please reply if you want, I'd like to finally speak to you. Until then, see you.
I get that Nim's actor is a bit short but that's no reason to call him a halfling. He's never referred to as such and according to Wikipedia he is indeed a human (apparently their character sheets are glimpsed in DVD bonus features)...
You can't really blame them for going to eastern Europe. A ton of big budget movies go to Eastern Germany or eastern Europe, because they can find places their grandpas didn't bomb to bits and that can easily be "fixed up" to look period-correct.
l'm horrified to point out there's a 3rd movie. It's called Dungeons and Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness. I can't believe I live in a world where 3 of these exist.
Course they cant afford goblins! Those steamwheedle cartel jerks are expensive, and the bilgewater cartel only works for the horde. (For all those wow players out there)
You know, I'm not sure how you'll take this, but every time I watch your videos (which are awesome, btw), I keep thinking you bear a strong resemblance to Christopher Reeve. Anyone else notice that, or is it me?
"LET THEIR BLOOD... RAAAAAAAAIN FROM THA SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" That line will never not be fucking hilarious.
It actually took 28 years to make a Tron sequel. 1982-2010.
every time I watch a new C.E. episode, I'm always a little bit apprehensive about the possibility of the entire review being done in a drunk pirate accent.
Eh, I didn't think the accent was THAT bad. I prefer normal episodes, but I still enjoyed cutthroat island review.
To be fair...the rum probably had a lot to do with that one.
+Beth G. Nah. He was just doing that drunken stuff on purpose.
I thought the 'rum' was just apple juice.
grugonk It was. He said as much in the comments of his Cutthroat Island review.
LET THEIR BLOOD...RAAAAIIIIIINNNNN FROM THE SKYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Admittedly, if I was given a line like that, I’d ham it up too. XD
“And Kyle, a Jew.”
“Paladin!”
Priceless
"You know for a mage, you're pretty stupid." I see what you did there.
I didn't get it

I love when Irons over acts, it's hilarious.

"Call me Izhmiel"
Why does it feel like I'm watching a lost Merlin episode. To the point where I wonder (a phrase I use loosely) when Colin Morgan, Bradley James, Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath were going to show up.
GOD I wish Richard Wilson and Anthony Stewart Head was in this.
That would be so much better. Also the set looks pretty similar.

I had a D&D game where I was a constable in a building that had been taken over by thieves posing as orcs during the winter solstice. I lost my boots but things got even when I got the repeating crossbow.
I think that would make a good movie
Spoony wants to know "What's a Paladin?" :)
irons gloves look like those dishwashing gloves
Kirk Cameron? Let me guess: It involves Christmas and came out in 2014.
you do realise there is a 3rd on too right
'The Book of Vile Darkness'
oh. and that take on the first Dragonlance book, the animated one with the voices of Lucy Lawless and Keifer Sunderland
I'm willing to bet the next movie is Saving Christmas.
Me too! that movie somehow justifies inquisition...
Kyle would not last two minutes near Dorian, considering how the guy looks like Charlie Chaplin’s evil twin
"You screamed and the table exploded" made me laugh
Oh. Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas next month? Kick ass! I've been waiting for you to release that since it came to DVD.
*review, not release
I thought it couldn't get worse... at least they covered more of the source material, even if GoT does show up quite a bit.
If this movie is starting to sound like "Krull," it's probably because that movie started off as a D&D movie early in development, so that might explain a few things.
Fun fact. There’s a third movie in that franchise. I think it’s only in German trough. Called the Book of Vile Darkness (in German)
"And Kyle, a Jew."
luv4hutch "PALADIN!!!"
Did Gerry Lively sneak in a Russian curse word at 4:14? Keeping with the Eastern European continuity Sean mentioned, it makes sense. Also, OMG 😂

can you review Doom from 2005
At least the dragon didn't have feathers
I saw the 1st movie and laughed my butt off.
This had to have been a straight to video release. The first one was so damn bad I forgot the IP existed.
3:36 No, I'm just wondering how he still has that stab wound, I mean, a century is more than enough time for something like that to heal itself.

isn't oberon from shakespeare?? A Midsummer Night's Dream

@@trazyntheinfinite9895 No, because this is Cinematic Excrement. You don't review good movies on a channel like that.

It took more than 35 years to make sequels to make sequels to Top Gun and Blade Runner. It was 46 years in the case of The Wizard of Oz.
I was meh through the entire video until that last joke. That was good enough to make the whole thing worth it.
Awesome Drizzt shoutout.
YAAAAAAY NEW EPISODE!!!!
I have nothing against watching other people play Dungeons And Dragons, but I'd rather be playing the game with them.
This is how I see the dumb moments in this movie. The players roll a nat 20 on whatever the fuck they were doing, and the dm just said "Fuck it and roll with it"
This movie:
Treguard: Spellcasting: S-U-C-K-S.
I'm from Lithuania, and I have never seen that castle that's supposed to be Ismer in my life
I don't mind the lack of continuity. Anything that makes this its own movie is for the good. It's not a good movie by big-screen-release standards, but it's not as bad as the first and it does get closer to the feel of a D&D troupe in a campaign.
Have you seen the 3rd one yet? "Book of Vile Darkness"?
1:58, Why does he almost sound like The Grinch?
You should do Dungeons and Dragons the Book of Vile Darkness. Not everyone seems to know about that film.
Wrath of the Dragon God? I hope they don't screw up Tapion....
I keep wondering - what would have Ed Wood done with this thing????
Ever have a chance to listen to Critical Role or Adventure Zone? That I think has a TV show potential.

I will say one thing, this is at least benefitting from a better plot and it appealed to DnD fans more.
Is it gonna be Saving Christmas? I hope so!
