Dungeons & Dragons (2000)

14

Based on 25 critic reviews provided by

50	New York Daily News Jack Mathews The special effects work fine for minor acts of magic, but the climactic aerial dragon fight is lame, and most of the performances are at the level of high school plays.
50	Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea Much of the dialogue is the silliest sort of fantasy mush, and a good deal of the picture appears to have been shot while the lighting guys were out to lunch.
50	Boston Globe A mildly entertaining but tepid extravaganza more suited to television than the big screen.
25	San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle The audience has already checked out, long before the formulaic finish.
20	Film.com Gemma Files Good intentions, bad writing.
10	L.A. Weekly Paul Malcolm A cheap "Star Wars" rip-off with swords instead of light sabers.
10	Salon Andrew O'Hehir This fantasy crap, fake-o effects and all, betrays princes of dice, masters of graph and wielders of bong.
10	The New York Times Dana Stevens Take this as a warning: it's not much fun.
0	Village Voice Dennis Lim At once laboriously expository and defiantly incomprehensible.
0	New York Post Lou Lumenick Tacky-looking, incoherent, badly acted and hopelessly directed disaster is easily the dullest adventure film of 2000.
