Wrath of the Dragon God is by far a better movie than the one I paid to see in theaters that came before it.

Looks like an interesting premise! And not a huge price, either. Awesome! I'll add it to my shopping list!zerragonoss said:
Not to mention when he had to cut her arm off to teleport out. Concentration check! I also liked the mirror puzzle they had to get through.el_kabong said:
Book of Vile Darkness was... not quite as good. It did have some evil classes show cased, like the Vermin Lord. Otherwise it was pretty meh.
Dragonlore wasn't a D&D movie but it might as well have been. It's on Netflix right now under a different name (The Shadow Cabal? Saga: Curse of the Shadow). Anyways it's a little better than Wrath of the Dragon God, the male lead can't really act all that well, the female lead is slightly better and does her own stunts. The makeup effects show some love though and there's some fun bits in it.
It's on Netflix as "Curse of the Dragon Slayer"... and yeah, it's good, campy fun. Anyone who enjoyed Wrath (like me!!) will probably not regret a sit-through too much. Libations are optional, but always help.Nimzabaat said:
After watching this episode, I went and got a copy of this movie and watched it. I expected a crappy movie with a few classic D&D call outs. It's actually not horrible, though I wouldn't say it is good. The dialogue actually sounds like the kind of shit people at my D&D games would come up with while trying to fit the medieval fantasy setting. So you have lines that are a mix of overblown formal language and modern speech, which in any other film would just be bad writing, but in this it works. There are some classic monsters both present and mentioned (there may or may not be a flask of Purple Worm's stomach acid) and the dragons fit the Monster Manual art. Oh and the actress that plays the barbarian is absolutely stunning and just watching her is almost worth the time watching this movie on its own. So yeah, like Jim said, if you're a D&D player, you should check out this movie it's pretty fun.
"Novel Length Wikipedia Page" - Let's just call it what it is, free distribution Autobiography, or the best Memoir ever.
"and the cleric dies just when he is needed most, just like in the actual game." I feel out of my chair laughing at that. Well done Mr. Sterling!
