	In the land of Izmir the mages rule and everyone else is oppressed by them, apparently. The Empress wants to change that while evil mage-guy Profion (played by Jeremy Irons hamming it up like it's overtime at the meat smoking plant) wants to keep it this way and take over the world (of course!). Problem is that the Empress has a sceptre that lets her control Yellow Dragons. So Profion set out to get another sceptre that would let him control Red Dragons. A couple of Rogues (a white guy called Ridley Freeman and his 90s comedic black sidekick Snails, guess who dies) get caught up with a apprentice mage named Marina in a plot to get that Staff while being harried by Profion's blue-lipped minion Damodar and his discount warrior dudes. Some Dungeons and Dragons brand monsters make cameos, like [[wat\|a beholder chained up as a guard dog]].		In the land of Izmir the mages rule and everyone else is oppressed by them, apparently.

	It's pretty bad. Not vile, nor godawful and it might have some "so bad it's good" charm, but it's still bad. Unsurprisingly it bombed at the box office. It also came out a year before [[The Lord of the Rings\|The Fellowship of the Rings]]. Still, it got some Made for TV sequels.		It's pretty bad.

	Taking place on the Sword Coast, the Bard, Edgin, and the Barbarian, Holga, are arrested and imprisoned by the Lords Alliance during a botched heist on behalf of a mysterious wizard called Sofina. Two years later the duo escape prison and discover that another former party member, a smooth talking con artist called Forge, has become Lord of Neverwinter and is in possession of both Edgin's daughter and a magical tablet that can be used to bring Edgin's dead wife back from the dead. Now the two must assemble a team and plan a heist to retake what is rightfully theirs... and discover a plot that threatens the entire city.

	Uncharacteristically of a Dungeons and Dragons movie, the film is actually ~~really~~, ''~~really~~'' ~~good~~.		Uncharacteristically of a Dungeons and Dragons movie, the film is actually pretty good. It's well-plotted and competently directed, hits the story beats fine, has a good bunch of comedic moments, and tons of background references and monsters and spells and other D&D shit - even the kids of the [[D&D Cartoon\|cartoon]] showing up in a cameo. There's almost no cringe of the other movies involved, save maybe deliberately with a couple jokes.

			But the most important thing? It actually behaves like an actual D&D campaign, one you can easily imagine being played out by a bunch of [[Neckbeard\|geeks]] around a tabletop. You can tell exactly where someone rolled a natural 1, where the party fucks up so badly they can't move forward and the DM has to introduce a hasty workaround, where the DMPC shows up to hand out loredrops and upstage everyone before (thankfully) bailing out halfway through, maybe even where the druid's player couldn't make it so she had to be sidelined for a bit. You can groan as some idiot picks up the treasure before checking it for traps. And speaking of traps... of course, in a campaign centered around pulling a dangerous heist, ''[[FAIL\|not one player rolled up an actual rogue.]]''

			It's also pretty straightforward and predictable and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. But let's not set our standards too high, nobody goes to a D&D film expecting Hitchcock or some shit. It's a fun romp that pretty accurately reflects the whole hobby, that's all you're here for, and that's what you'll get.
