Licínio Miranda 11-10-06, 01:31 PM	Any of you have seen the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the 80īs??? Well, here in Brasil was shown for 2 decades almost without no break. Itīs a trully popular cartoon in here. Well, have you seen D&D the movie? Yes.. you have... donīt be embaressed to say yes... one of if not, the worst movie ever (I donīt know. Batman & Robin may be the worst ever). And then, there is D&D 2. Some people loved it, but know this: itīs a horrible movie. You MAY think itīs good, but itīs because the first one was so BAD that his one looked like a Lord of the Rings trilogy by his own. So, I thought? Why not a movie based on D&D cartoon? Requiem (the final episode) was never made, they could adapt it for the big screen. It could be... Return to Dungeons & Dragons. 10 years after the cartoon time, now the kids are fully grown, even with Bobby now as an kick ass barbarian and Uni, the stupid unicorn, is now something like a Warhorse. Avenger is back, even more evil. Thiamat too, with CGI. Good vs. Evil. This could be a great movie. Why not? :)
Grizzled Gryphon 11-10-06, 01:43 PM	There IS a second movie. I have not seen it, but I hear it is much better than the first one. While that isn't saying much, as the first one sucked to the Nth degree, I still want to see it.
Anung_Un_Rama 11-10-06, 02:00 PM	I personally think it would be better if the cartoon was continued instead of making a movie out of it. Besides, the Dragonlance animated movie is already being made.
Karak_Nechot 11-10-06, 02:03 PM	I don't think a movie can really get the D&D experience across. Yeah, you can have a nice fantasy MOVIE, but half the fun of D&D is the growth and change over time. Something episodal would work far better.
ctuttle 11-10-06, 02:31 PM	I wouldn't say the second movie is a BETTER movie - but I would say they got more for their dollar making it. If it were made with the same budget as the first movie I would call it a travesty. I guess I had too high of expectations for the first one. It was such a piece of junk. But I had really lowered my expectations for the second one and it was about what I expected. In that sense I was able to enjoy it more.
Sulaco 11-10-06, 02:35 PM	We had a good D&D movie, it was called Lord of the Rings. I liked the second D&D movie, and even though it was not good per se it was a helluva lot better than the first one. The only thing that sucked more than the D&D movie was the D&D cartoon.
Articman 11-10-06, 03:12 PM	Forget the animated movies, They should just make Dragon Lance the live action movie.
Bruunwald 11-10-06, 03:31 PM	The first D&D movie was terrible. It was not horrible; that's a different thing altogether. The sequel on Sci Fi was better, which means it was even further from horrible. There are terrible movies. There is no shortage of them. There are so-so movies, lousy movies, and movies that don't even merit a mention. There are bad movies and movies that are just sort of "there." A truly horrible movie is so bad it actually creates revulsion and loathing. You can feel that the movie hates you as much as you hate it. Like House of the Dead, for instance, or some of what the MST3K guys watched. THOSE are horrible movies. Another at-least-terrible-if-not-horrible movie idea would be to make a live-action flick out the D&D cartoon series. The most fascinating aspect of such a discussion as this for me would involve the rapid decline of the quality of studio-financed films, coupled with the simultaneous rise in the quality of film-related home computer equipment, both fueled by the excellerated growth of niche entertainment markets, which must inevitably culminate in a Cyborg Zombie Werewolf Ninja Pirate Movie of high visual standard, whose dismal dialogue revolves mainly around discussion of +2 swords and attacks of opportunity. I can't wait.
Articman 11-10-06, 04:05 PM	which must inevitably culminate in a Cyborg Zombie Werewolf Ninja Pirate Movie of high visual standard, whose dismal dialogue revolves mainly around discussion of +2 swords and attacks of opportunity. I can't wait. Wow that hurts my head just thinking about it. :eek:
Templetroll 11-10-06, 04:51 PM	Plot outline for Dragonlance animated feature from IMDB.com After five years apart, searching the world of Krynn for proof of the existence of the true gods, a group of adventurers find their proof in the form of a barbarian woman carrying a miraculous blue crystal staff. Soon they are thrust into war as an army of dragons overtakes their homeland. I bolded the relevant section. Hollywood does not deal well with D&D clerics. Note that the cleric in the 2nd D&D movie did not cast any healing spells!

Note that the cleric in the 2nd D&D movie did not cast any healing spells! That's cos he died before anyone needed them. The clerics at the temple of Obad Hai cast healing spells to save both the Elf Mage and the Rogue (though this happened off-screen).
pita 11-10-06, 05:04 PM	Note there was no ressurection as well. Hero dies saving kingdom Choices: A) Make it intresting and dramatic and let him stay dead. B) Revive him, thus ruining drama, but still keeping realism. Meh. I thought the familiar death scene and the special effects on Falazure were brilliant. But that's just me.
Bill Bisco: Average Adventurer 11-10-06, 05:10 PM	I'm going to say something totally rebellious here. I enjoyed both D&D movies. What can I say, I did like them. However, I will agree with what has been said here that they could have been made better. Really, they need to make a movie based on the Underdark, Drow, or perhaps something on illithids. They need to not be attatched to this whole party with a Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard. The party could be all fighters, it really doesn't matter. They also need to be unattatched to the idea that they must] have a dragon or a dungeon somewhere in the movie.
leather_book_wizard 11-10-06, 05:12 PM	Forget the animated movies, They should just make Dragon Lance the live action movie. Yes,yes they should.Cartoon Dragonlance?Come on!They didn't make LOTR a cartoon did they?There is no way a cartoon could do as good as a live-action film.
Articman 11-10-06, 05:19 PM	Yes,yes they should.Cartoon Dragonlance?Come on!They didn't make LOTR a cartoon did they?There is no way a cartoon could do as good as a live-action film. Well Technically they did make LOTR a cartoon first, but is was bad. Really bad!

Yes, yes they did. Back in the 70's. It's only a good cartoon if you're currently using recreational substances, though.
leather_book_wizard 11-10-06, 05:25 PM	Lol
Anung_Un_Rama 11-10-06, 05:47 PM	I own the LotR cartoon. It makes my eyes bleed when i watch it. And since the guy directing the Dragonlance movie did Exo-Squad, I'm quite happy to sit back and see how it turns out. 'Cause Exo-Squad was frikkin sweet.
Kalli 11-10-06, 06:42 PM	Yes, yes they did. Back in the 70's. It's only a good cartoon if you're currently using recreational substances, though. Or if you go in knowing it'll be bad and have every intent to mock it. Wait, I guess that doesn't make IT good, just the experience. I thought it was hilariously awful. Male panty shots, bad rotoscoping, lack of an ending, directorial decisions that make you question the seriousness of the enterprise in the first place -- what else can I say? ...Probably a lot more, but it's been a while since I last saw it and that page on Flying Moose probably does better than I ever could.
Leress 11-10-06, 07:28 PM	Yes, yes they did. Back in the 70's. It's only a good cartoon if you're currently using recreational substances, though. For me the cartoons The Hobbit and Return of the King (Rankin and Bass): I like these cartoons, I own both The Fellowship of the ring(I can't remember right now, but he did an animated movie called Wizards): I hated that movie, it was so ghetto and cheap it hurt my feelings.
demetri0us 11-17-06, 01:34 AM	I'm going to say something totally rebellious here. I enjoyed both D&D movies. What can I say, I did like them. However, I will agree with what has been said here that they could have been made better. ...I concur wholeheartedly... ...although, I am notorious for bad taste in movies... but I own 'em both on DVD. I figure, poor movies about D&D are better than no movies... I have thought for a long time that an animated movie based on D&D is the way to go, I mean no one is really going to throw LOTR type money at a D&D movie project, so animated is the way to go... and any movie based on D&D has GOT to have tons more magic (spells and effects) than LOTR ever thought of. If this movie (Dragonlance) does well, maybe lots of other great D&D characters/worlds get some "play-time" (like spiderman did for marvel) Ravenloft/Strahd FR/Elminster, Drizzt, Etc...
Ranger REG 11-17-06, 02:13 AM	If this movie (Dragonlance) does well, maybe lots of other great D&D characters/worlds get some "play-time" (like spiderman did for marvel) Maybe, but Marvel has more exposure to the general public than D&D. And there is that stigma. Unless you know of a film director who is an avid literary fan of Dragonlance and has many major clouts in the film industry, it'll be a long time before someone want to fund an epic. Although Peter Jackson happened to got lucky to find that the head honcho of New Line Cinema is willing to fund not two films (as was pitched to him by PJ) but three films (to coincide with the three volumes of LOTR).
johnkretzer 11-17-06, 02:13 AM	If they did the Second D&D movie with the buget of the 1st. It would have been great movie. Instead you get a movie that has a decent plot, interesting characters, pretty good script, pretty good acting(it wasn't that great grant you but passable, and 100% better then anyone in the first movie including Jermey Irons who looked like he lost a bet and got stuck in the movie) with bad special effects. I think they did a great job with their budget. It is proably my favorite movie out there that won't get seen because of the need to have special effects.
Ranger REG 11-17-06, 02:20 AM	...I concur wholeheartedly... ...although, I am notorious for bad taste in movies... but I own 'em both on DVD. I figure, poor movies about D&D are better than no movies... Trust me, I settle for no D&D movie, until someone can do it proper. I'm not THAT desperate to see a game-based film. It is that desperation from fans that motivates Uwe Boll to make awful videogame-based films. Don't enable. :noway:
DwarfPcfan 11-17-06, 10:20 AM	They did announce that they would do an animated version of the Ravenloft Novel " Tapisserie of Dark Souls" much as I have searched for it, it seems like it was actualy made... I think as a DnD movie they should do something like " Sharn, City of Towers" Dnd meets Sin City;) :P !!! Can you imagine Kate Beckinsale pulling the shadowdancer assassin look:love: !!!

Gandrel 11-17-06, 03:43 PM	Hey they should do a movie about D&D Players! Just like that Treekies documentary! It would sooo cool! Specialy when we have some celebrities like Vin Diesel that admit play D&d. They could show the day by day of developers of WOTC,the gatherings at traditional conventions, depoiments of players of all the globe....it would be neat!

The Club 11-18-06, 02:26 AM	and 100% better then anyone in the first movie including Jermey Irons who looked like he lost a bet and got stuck in the movie) From what I've read, Jeremy Irons did lose a bet to end up in the movie, in a manner of speaking. Word is that he agreed to do the film without taking a full look at the script and stuff. He tried to get out of it, but you don't let Academy Award winners leave your set when they're under contract. Anyway, his scenery-chewing was no worse than the script deserved. In fact, he should have been chewing on whoever wrote that dog. The Club

Glensather 11-18-06, 03:10 AM	Japan already beat us with D&D-based shows. It's called Slayers (from what I understand, the author based the entire thing off of a D&D Campaign), and Record of Lodoss War.
Ranger REG 11-18-06, 03:14 AM	Japan already beat us with D&D-based shows. In numbers, yeah. More, if you include OA and/or Tome of Battle themes.

AaronDireBear 11-18-06, 02:05 PM	Actually I would rather have someone OTHER than Hollywood pricks do the dnd movie. An anime company or an independant film company. The Weinsteins need to die or give up the power over hollywood before I will trust them to make ANY movie involving the supernatural. They deliberately censored divine magic because they refused to have ANYTHING remotely deific in a movie. The bastards would make Hercules NOT the son of Zeus and make the HYdra into an elephant or some garbage like that and you know it. For god sakes look what they did to TROY! Also maybe it would be better to not market it as a dnd movie. For example, if I wanted to make an Icewind Dale trilogy of films, I would market it as "based on the novel by R.A. Salvatore" not "based on the bestselling role playng game dungeons and dragons forgotten realms cmapaign setting". Because gmovies based on games tend to suck (super mario bros anyone?) so if people see the word "game" theyre going to shudder. But Salvatore is a respected fantasy author and even some who dont PLAY dnd have read his books. Oh yes and I would sign on a super bishounen as Drizzt PROVIDED that he can act. Our female audience would quadruple. Hell one could even get an R rating if we did the Dark Elf Trilogy (graduation scene, anyone?) and therefore get an automatic "coolness" factor for being rated R (because lets face it, PG movies suck and PG13 comes pretty close). Additionally, higher rated movies tend to have more thematic elements and a more serious atmosphere. Heck, a movie can be rated R BECAUSE of "thematic elements", and "references" to stuff nowadays. The reason PG and G and PG 13 films SUCK nowadays is because they're worried about increasing the rating so they "Fifteen" the script. PS: And for the record I made toes curl Thursday night and I've got a lay date today. bugger YALL and your stereotype about DnD Players who dont get along with women.

The second D&D movie reminded me of Hawk the Slayer (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/hawkslayer/). Cheesy, but good in its own style. :D Edit:Changed sites for the link. This one has a much better review :rofl: (check out the 'Things I learned from this movie' part)
Toran_A_Sunder 11-18-06, 03:46 PM	Wow...I think I really am the only person on the planet who wholeheartedly enjoyed the D&D movie. yes. The first one. I saw it like 3 times in the theatres. I thought it really captured the spirit of D&D. Good vs. evil. Save the world. Silly characters making somewhat funny comments. Sub par acting. If that isn't a standard D&D game, I dunno what is. Though I do agree something more along the lines of LotR or Chronicles of Narnia would be awesome, I doubt ayone will try it. The first one was such a flop who would want to risk the $$$? I am looking forward with bated breath for the Dragonlance animated movie, however. As long as it's NOTHING like the animated LotR. I'd love to see it done up in CGI...like FF7: Advent Children. Now THAT would kick butt.
Ranger REG 11-19-06, 03:54 AM	amen... hey has anyone heard whether Boll got his ass-kicked or not? If you're referring to his boxing challenges, it's fixed, IMNSHO. Sure, the challengers are physically fit to be in the boxing ring, just not fit to control the ring. Credit goes to Uwe Boll for having boxing experience, he beat up the amateurs of those critics. One scrawny challenger was so STOOPID to think this is just a publicity stunt and not an actual boxing match. About as sad and pathetic as those camping outside Best Buy for PS3 :nonono: ... and get shot in Kentucky (hehehe :evillaugh ).

Darkxarth 11-19-06, 04:51 PM	Wow. :uh-huh: Talk about lowered expectation. Always trying to find a silver lining in a tornado. ;) Actually, he has a good point. Consider it as their first session. Everyone's a newbie, even the DM, but he lets them all start above level 1. 1. Ridley = Rogue who halfway through decides he wants to play a fighter and save the day. Also, is the DMs best friend. 2. Snails = Rogue who halfway through realizes that this game isn't as cool as he thought it was because the DM won't let him run around and rob people. Leaves to play Fable. 3. Marina = Decided being a Wizard would be neat, but never really learns much about the rules of what she can and can't do. Except Dimension Door, which is her favorite spell. 4. Norda (Elf) = Reads WAY too many fantasy books, and creates a huge backstory for her character. Most serious player in the group. 5. Elwood (Dwarf) = This is the guy who sits around and makes jokes at the table, who wanted to name his character Shortguy McReddybeard. Probably has the most fun during the whole campaign. I'll agree that it wasn't at all as good as what I wanted it to be, but I still enjoyed it for what it was.
Drucilla_Rocks_my_Socks 11-19-06, 05:43 PM	We don't need a D&D movie, rather, a movie could do well using certain aspects from the D&D setting. The fact of the matter is a standard fantasy movie is booring. Take the elements that are interesting, the elements that are cool, combign it with the creativity that we see in alot of the D&D community, and have the story focus around the group rather than a lone heroe (think X-men or Firefly). That would be your D&D movie. Planescape, Black sun, and the Underdark are the most promising settings, as they are unique, and aren't trying to be somthing else. The main thing is that the heroes should have real motivation and a real reason to be working togeather (Think the scooby squad from Buffy), not some "We met at a bar" or "Hey, were all running from the gaurds and I just fell on you, lets team up and go on a long adventure across the land!" type thing. Buffy is a good example of a fantasy based story that has alot of exposition of technical magic elements, plots based around them, group dinamics, and dose a good job. It needs to take itse;f seriousely, but be loaded with witty humor to keep the flow going. Buffy would be a very good model. In fact, Joss whedon seams like he would be the best person to create a D&D based movie. Plus you can then say "From the mind of Joss Whedon..." as your tagline rather than "Based on the Fantasy Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons..." He is also good at working under a moderate buget/timeframe, and a D&D movie isn't going to get a whole lot of funding (though it might get more if Whedon did it) so this is a definite plus. The only problem with joss whedon is I want him to make the Spike/Illeria movie, and he would have to do that before Amy Ackner and James Marsters get old and not-pretty.
SirCaran 11-19-06, 06:24 PM	I want to see something that attempts to take the stigma away. The movie/series starts as a group of people sitting down to play(maybe after school activity) and in the beginning it starts as more table oriented. The further along and the better they get it starts "going into characer" i.e. shifting into the game world. As always there should be rules disputes (that abruptly halt action and brings it back to the table). it dosn't even have to be in a published setting, just in case WOtC doesn't sign off on it. What do you think?
cat_god 11-19-06, 06:59 PM	I'd watch a Joss Whedon D&D movie.

I forget when it comes out...
DrMorganes 11-19-06, 07:49 PM	Plot outline for Dragonlance animated feature from IMDB.com I bolded the relevant section. Hollywood does not deal well with D&D clerics. Note that the cleric in the 2nd D&D movie did not cast any healing spells! errmmm.... have you read the original Dragonlance triology? Prior to Goldmoon's retrieval of the Disks of Mishakal from the black dragon Khisanth, true healing had been absent from Krynn since the Cataclysm! The Blue Crystal Staff was a direct divine gift from the goddess of healing to her chosen messenger and served as the only means of divine healing until Goldmoon completed her quest (at which point she essentially multiclassed from Barbarian to Cleric ;) ). As far as the D&D cartoon: yes, it's schlock by today's standards. However, if you take a look at most of the other cartoon running at the same time they were ALL schlock. For its time, however, D&D was actually rather cutting edge. They managed to slip some truly forbidden topics past the network censors, such as the episode where the kids actually debated the merits of killing Venger as a way to return home. Seems fairly tame now, but back then such topics were taboo in children's television!
MHolland 11-19-06, 08:56 PM	Some of you probably know about this but the head writer for the D&D cartoon wrote the script for the final episode. He talks about it on his website and you can download a PDF of the script. The URL to the PDF is: http://www.michaelreaves.com/pdf/requiem_sec.pdf Check it out!
talkingbeatles 11-19-06, 09:29 PM	I think for there to truly be an amazing DnD movie, it would have to be both written and directed by DnD players. Secondly, it would have to be able to make fun of itself. ...And it can't be directed by Uwe Boll.

Silent Bob wouldn't cause any trouble, hell he'd save the day as he usually does, but... well, actually, I could see Jay finally get what's coming to him... a smiting slap across the face from Alhandra, and possibly mialee taking him up on an offer directed at anyone but her...
