Bewertung von Caine-2
Hmmm, being a huge Kevin Smith fan, I was (for once) disappointed with this dull and lifeless entry. Sure, Smith is a great mugger (gotta love those facial expressions), but this turned into a live action cartoon, and not a very funny one at that. The film derives most of its humor from the stars poking fun at themselves. There are barbs at Phantoms, Legend of Bagger Vance, and Armageddon, but none this really hits the bullseye. It's all very scattershot.
The humor is much like that of Mallrats' (which, slap me, I liked a LOT more), but most of the time it is too self referential. There are some clever barbs at Hollywood and Mirimax, but c'mon, was the View Askewniverse ever about satirizing celebrities? Put it like this, Jay and Bob doesn't do to Hollywood what Dogma did to the Catholic church.
On the bright side, there are many funny cameos, but they are the plot's only driving force.
I give this a 5.

Finally. Ten years in the waiting. The D + D movie has premiered. And I actually enjoyed it.
There are many negatives. For one thing, Thora Birch, as the Empress, seems to be lost in a performance inspired by Natalie Portman in Episode 1, only hers is more boring. Justin Whalin proves he has less acting talent than he did in Child's Play 3. Jeremy Irons, an Oscar winner, is hammy and over the top. The special effects aren't that special and the plot is almost incomprehensible.
Despite the negative comments above, D + D is a lot of fun. This is a fantasy movie so expect some flaws. Highlander isn't perfect, in fact the acting was terrible, but it has become a cult classic. And, I must say, this film is more than a cut above Highlander parts 2 + 3. Speaking of Highlander, that's Endgame's Bruce Payne as the evil Profion's main henchman. He overacts tastelessly, but also chews a lot of scenery. Another enjoyable cornball performance.
The action is, for the most part, well filmed. Also, unlike the game, not much here is left to your imagination. Many cheesy computer effects create low-budget Indiana Jones-like mazes and obstacles.
The Bottom line: Check your brain at the door. You will enjoy it. Also, there is a little creativity concerning which character dies. It may not be the obligatory choice you would expect.
6/10
