Actually, the D&D movie was pretty good. (Spoiler free comments follow.)
It had fun characters and was in general a decent popcorn flick. You can
think of it as watching a gaming session.
The only thing that got me was that there were people of races in the
background not from D&D as far as I could tell.
All the CG special effects didn't end up being that bad once watching the
film.

The princess was played by one of the girls from American Beauty. I
thought she did a good job. Although, I liked Marina personally. The hero
was pretty good too (one of the actors of Jimmy from Lois and Clark).

I have a spoiler question...





















What did the ending mean?
The jewel erased Snails name from the gravestone?
Then they all flew away?
Did they all die to go join Snails?
Did he come back alive?
What the heck? What was the point?

That and the "only you can pass the barrier" are the only real faults I
see with the film.

Did you even THINK of it?

Why? "The wizard point's his finger and speaks the range (Height &
Distatance) at which the fireball is to detonate" (paraphrase) Trying to hit
a fast -flying- target can't be easy...but if they *were* fireballs, I'd
have liked to see the explosions somewhere on-screen...

>and the appearance of the fireball was all wrong as well.
Again, why? "A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it
impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior ..." (paraphrase).
However, I agree, to a point. I personally took them as 'Melf's Minute
Meteors'. (And, since they were ordered to target the wings, this would give
them more chances to hit them). ;-)
