Just for laughs, I took a look at the Dungeons & Dragons movie that cane out about ten years back to are if age has improved any. I can honestly say that in all fair honesty it has actually gotten worse. D&D the movie is a prime example of why the fantasy movie is so often an object of derision…not a so-bad-it’s-good piece of camp, but a so bad it’s a piece of drek that rightly deserves to he forgotten. I mean, a Wayans brother? Seriously? And how can Jeremy Irons sleep at night with such a hammy stinker of a performance? He’s one of the best actors in the world, he could have at least tried to make an effort… It’s one of the rare instances I can think of where the direct-to-DVD sequel is actually better…
That being said, if it could be done again, how should it be done so that it doesn’t actually become a monumental embarrassment? Or even be, dare I say it, awesome?
