Good start, but then it gets ruined

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I liked this movie a lot more then I thought I would. I've been a D&D enthusiast for many years so I might be somewhat biased but trust me, like you, I think I have an idea of what makes a bad movie. Terrible wooden acting...well, we can check that off because the people in this movie can act and could only be held back by their respective scripts and/or directors. Cinematography is thought out and enhances the movie well enough. I also liked the costumes and while acceptable I think Bezz's make-up could have been done a little bit better. Many D&D references were threw out without being totally obvious and it really added to the lore. This is not your average sci-fi channel garbage. Groundbreaking it is not. But, what it does it does well. Acceptable script, capable actors, decent costumes and good cinematography in a genre that is starved for something even half-way decent. Thank you to everyone involved in this movie. I give this movie a solid 7. But, most importantly its in my personal collection.

I Really Enjoy this movie last night, Lots of fun. But the Ending was so bad which let me down. I Don't like the HERO actually he look so dumb.Haven't watch "Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness" first two movies. If i get chance I will watch them.The Ending should be when she insist him to come with her, What the heck stop the HERO ? You Know what the problem is nowadays of Hollywood movies.? I have seen lots of good movies BUT terrible endings? WHY ??? WHY ??? My Message to Hollywood. Please do satisfy ending. Instead of putting stupid twists

Unlike the previous two D&D movies, this one has several things going for it:non-standard plot: goodie-good knight going bad it's not something you're likely to see everyday. Sure, the actor playing the knight is completely inept at it or at showing any emotion whatsoever but it's still OK to observe the storyall D&D elements are properly used. Unlike the complete muppetness of the first two movies, this one actually makes good use of basic D&D quest structure, roles in an evil party (also something you won't commonly see in D&D sessions) and interesting uses for D&D items (kill someone, stick his body in a bag of holding and throw it away ... caveat: bad of holding severely reduces weight so it might not sink so fast)undead girl very well put to use, not a great SFX achievement but it's undeniably creepy.party well put together, Bezz and Vimak are great to watch while Akordia has some great moments.What's not good? - first character is completely chaotic although it's obviously not the intention. He starts from a total whiny wuss, jumps to being determined and goes through being bad-ass back to regular wuss. Problem? There's no gradual progression there, no inner struggle, no emotion, no nothing. He changes between scenes following the needs of the story and not a real play of character.the ending is terrible!!! Evil is about to be unleashed into the world but the "battle" is totally anti climatic. The whole ending is a big WTF, the hero is chained but suddenly the sorceress places and amulet in his hand that shines and evil is dissolved. She tempts the hero to go with her, hero says no ... rolling credits! The ending puts the nail in the coffin of a movie that could've otherwise been a decent DVD release. Truly a shame!

It is a surprise to find a decent, alluring story within this series of films, though I didn't find the 2nd film as bad as others say. I did see a bad trailer for this latest edition, so I wasn't expecting much at all. The production team here found a winning combination mixing more macabre, darker sensibilities with the fantasy, finally,(!) for this seems a better understanding of how it would be. Acknowledging that this entry is of a modest budget, I did find it to be more compelling than the other entries. My only real criteria, is that the ending appeared to be rather hasty, and also, I found the casting the knights father flawed in that he didn't appear old enough. It is a shame that market constraints for this kind of film are so limited, I would love to see this at a longer running time, and explore these themes as novels are able to do, but given the constraints this production does create an intriguing moral predicament for this knight, and maintains an interesting atmosphere that adds much resonance to the story. Also the acting and the CGI effects are decent, the dragon in particular was surprisingly well done. Here's to a new direction in this series, I hope the creators can explore more fully.
