Critics Consensus

Critics say this movie has a cheap look and is badly directed. Despite the presence of talented actors, the performances are really bad, and additionally, some people are offended at Marlon Wayans' character, calling it a racist throwback to black stereotypes.

The average episode of Xena or Hercules offers a more compelling and imaginative photoplay.

The special effects ... are nothing special, which is as close as this painfully derivative clunker is ever going to get to a ringing endorsement.

The movie has the cheap software look of something found on the Space channel at 4 a.m.

If you’re wondering why it took until 2023 for Hollywood to turn the iconic role-playing game into a movie, that’s just how long it took to wash off the stink caused by this 2000 disasterpiece.

1/10

Almost totally devoid of redeeming facets, not even really bad enough to be funny, since one of the things it is worst at is providing comedy.

A horrid movie that does nothing compared to the Cartoon version of Dungeons and Dragons!

This movie was campy, strange, chaotic and everything I wanted from a cheesy DnD film. The random bright blue lipstick killed me on a character and the bad CGI. But overall fun movie.

I have been playing D&D since the early 80's. When this movie was first announced, all my fellow geeks and I were super excited! My friends and I walked out of the theatre. This film is unwatchable. It is agonizing. If hell truly exists, and I go there (likely) I will probably be sat in a chair like in A Clockwork Orange, with my eyelids kept open and be forced to watch it for all eternity. If I could give a zero star rating, I would.

Where do I even start? Every single thing in this movie is just miserable. I guess the main themes in the musical score weren't THAT tragic, to be fair.

Empress Savina desperately wants to get hold of the Mythical Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that will help her fight against Mage Profion, an evil magician. She hires two thieves, Ridley and Snails, to help her. Justin Whalin plays the lead role in this movie as Ridley with his assistant Snails to fights Damodar though out the movie for scrolls and later on the movie Ridley runs the gauntlet though a dangerous event in a bid to gain the Dragons Heart which he need to open a chamber to gain the Mythical Rod. Plenty action though out the movie to keep you entertained with appearances in the movie from Richard O'Brien and the Tom Baker I think the critics need to have a long good hard look at themselves as this movie is very entertaining though out the have review this movie very harshly. Release date 9th February 2001
