Here we are again, on Wednesday, and my regular EN World Review absolutely had to be the new Blu-Ray version of the Dungeons & Dragons movie bundle – Dungeons & Dragons: The Movie and Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God!  The boxed set just came out just this week, and I’m sure will elicit a wide range of reactions and emotions from D&D fans everywhere.  Sadly, not all those emotions and reactions will be good ones…

Review of Dungeons & Dragons (2-Movie Collection)

I think one of the awesome things we have seen in recent years is that fantasy movies are not only gaining in popularity, but are also being made better and better by the spectacular advances in special effects and computer enhancements.  I remember back when I was a lad, and reading the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I lamented that I would probably never see these books made into movies… the right way!  Sure there were fantasy movies being made back then, but budgets were small, actors were C-List, and the special effects were mostly stop-motion claymation and weird lighting.  Not to mention that fantasy movie costumes were painfully over-designed to the point of high-camp.

Hey guys?! That undead dragon totally pwnd our castle!

Now if we can just get someone to make the next Dungeons & Dragons movie with the same caliber as The Lord of the Rings, I’d be a very happy gamer indeed!

So until next blog… I wish you Happy Gaming!

So what did you think of the two Dungeon & Dragons movies? Never saw them, hate them, or are they your “guilty little pleasure”? Your comments and feedback are always welcome!
