Negative Positive
Title: Please stop already.
Review: The second installment in this ongoing travesty has an even lower budget than the first. If you enjoy D&D (or were a fan in your youth) you will get more satisfaction from staring at the cover art for five minutes than any scene in the movie. Remember that kid in your D&D group who was always snort-laughing at his own lame jokes and spouting dorky ideas that made you cringe? Yeah. He wrote the script. Evidently some people have the idea that the more you love the game, the better you are at writing/directing a screenplay. This is not true. Another popular myth: if you truly love the game you will look past the flaws in any D&D movie. This is a campaign based game where each adventure has a beginning, middle, and end. It's tailor-made for the cinematic format! To the executives at Wizards of the Coast: Budget some money for a quality screenwriter because it doesn't matter how much you spend on visual effects; you can't polish a turd.
