Plot

The world is divided between mages and commoners. Empress Savina (Birch) believes that everyone should be treated equally while the evil mage Profion (Irons) basically wants to rule the kingdom himself. There is a quest involving a diverse group of individuals that are trying to help the queen and there are Profion's soldiers out there to stop them.

Pros

Good special effects (for its day), lots of humor and a fairly simple storyline. You don't have to be a D&D player to follow this movie.

Cons

Jeremy Irons and Marlon Wayans; Irons for his way over-the-top performance as the evil mage and Wayans for his constant shrieking and futile attempts at being funny.

Extras

  • Two Audio Commentaries Featuring Director Courtney Solomon, Cinematographer Doug Milsome, Game Co-Creator Dave Arneson and Actor Justin Whalin
  • Two Original Documentaries: "Let The Games Begin" - A Profile and History of Adventure Gaming, A behind The Scenes Look At The Making of the Movie
  • Deleted Scenes

Recommendation

If you're a fan of the game or the fantasy genre in general, this is worth the time.
