#the second movie kind of sucks budget wise comparatively

[env0]

Look, I understand that the Dungeons and Dragons (2000) movie is awfully bad and riddled with tropes and cliches and bad lines and bad action and bad comedy relief and chosen one'isms and Jeremy Irons incredibly over the top acting and a queen that looks like she was the Child-Like Empress in The Neverending Story, but it is just so FUCKING well costumed somehow compared to so many action movies and it does feel genuinely sincere about their acting. Even if it isn't great. The music is also incredibly evocative and effective at conveying the emotion. It is also a story about how these heroes by ALL ACCOUNTS should not be winning, but they're the only ones who know what is going on and have a sliver of an idea of what is at stakes. It is genuinely very good and worth a watch going, "this movie isn't good, but it sure is a fun romp"
