Jackson Booth-Millard The first film was based on the popular role-playing game, as is this sequel, the original was a huge box office flop, and I only found out about this follow up being shown on television, it was straight to DVD. Basically evil sorcerer Damodar (Bruce Payne) has returned, one years since the previous events, and he seeks revenge on the kingdom of Izmir and the descendants of those who defeated him. He finds what restores his curse, the ancient artifact, an Orb, linked to the power of Faluzure, and with this he also plans to awaken the dragon to destroy the kingdom. Fighter and former captain of the king's guard Lord Berek (Mark Dymond) and his gifted wife Melora (Clemency Burton-Hill) are investigating toxic gases in caves, where they find the slumbering dragon, and they also find out about the missing Orb. Melora is cursed by Damador in an encounter, and she hides this from Berek, while they gather together a group of warriors, female barbarian Lux (Ellie Chidzey), male Cleric Dorian (Steven Elder) of Obad-Hai, female elven wizard Ormaline (Lucy Gaskell) and master thief Nim (Tim Stern). They set out to find the enemy's lair, while Oberon (Roy Marsden) head of the Mages' Council and his colleagues try to decipher the tomes of Turanian magic, a way to defeat the dragon. The heroes travel through haunted forest, get the attention of Klaxx the Maligned (Aurimas Meliesius), solve some riddle and get through some obstacles, and Dorian is killed. Berek manages to take the Orb while injured Ormaline and Nim are teleported to the clerics, while a transformed Klaxx kills the Oberon and takes his shape, and when Melora returns his true identity is unmasked, before he steals the Orb and kills the King. The dragon has been awakened and destroying the Orb regains all its power, and while Berek rides to save the day, near death Melora deciphers the magic needed to attack the creature and restore her own health. Berek and Lux are ready to face Damador, who no longer has Klaxx at his side, and the heroes manage to defeat and imprison him in the dark dungeon beneath Izmir, all the courageous good guys get their rewards, while the villain smiles that he may be able to return again. I will be honest and say, I don't care about any story at all, as you can tell this is straight to DVD by the terrible quality of acting, the useless attempts of action sequences, and the most often times stupid special effects, it is definitely worse than the original, a rubbish fantasy adventure sequel. Poor!

Quebec_Dragon Simply horrible. Very low-budget pseudo-sequel to the previous film with none of the same actors except one. It almost makes the first one look like a masterpiece. From the few extras, it seems that the creators actually wanted to do well and take this seriously but it certainly doesn't show in the final product except for a lack of b-movie fun that might have actually made this palatable. The fight choreography was lame, the dialogs were cliché, the special effects were pathetic (except perhaps for the first dragon but even there...), the actors were either mediocre or stunningly uncharismatic and the story... well I don't remember what the story was nor did I care much about what was happening. Actually, I saw this not so long ago and I remember very little of it. I'm giving an extra half star for the effort and genuinely noble intentions of the filmmakers who did try to make it closer to the rpg and because I've seen worse. Dungeons & Dragons deserves a much better movie. Why not one based on some of the Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance novels? Rating: 3 out of 10

fearfulofspiders Several years after the garbage that is Dungeons and Dragons was released, The Wrath of the Dragon God was given to viewers as a straight-to-TV movie. There's not a whole lot that makes this better than its predecessor, however, the experience was better.The acting is still terrible, and no one is redeemable. The special effects are vastly superior than the 2000 release, though still sub-par in various ways. The set design and art direction is also better than the first film. The look and feel of cultures and places seems more realistic than the nonsense that was placed in Dungeons and Dragons. As far as music goes, it's completely forgettable and overbearing at times. The pace for this movie is okay, though the climactic battle is very mediocre.All in all, skip this if you can, or if you're just looking for something to watch with some friends and want to have a good laugh in the process, then see it. I highly recommend to others to avoid Dungeons and Dragons 2 - Wrath of the Dragon God at all costs.

stormruston This version of a D&D movie is a vast improvement over the first as far as staying within the realm of D&D goes. I was surprised just how much I enjoyed this movie. Good acting , charismatic characters, well done Sword-fights( this surprised me) and some very good special effects, OK a few were cheesy but most really were very good.This movie stays within the world of D&D and that should please the game fans. For those who are not fans of the game but love a good fantasy, this movie will work for you too. It is no lord of the rings but when comparing apples to apples this movie does more then hold its own given the budget. I highly recommend this top quality "B" movie.
