undefined

Product Description ------------------- Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (DVD) Based on the phenomenally successful role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath Of The Dragon God takes viewers deeper into the dark and fantastical world of this fantasy epic. When the evil sorcerer Damodar (Bruce Payne - Highlander: Endgame) braves a perilous whirlwind vortex to steal the elemental black orb, he declares a sinister plan of vengeance against the kingdom of Izmer. Berek (Mark Dymond - Die Another Day), a decorated warrior, and Melora (Clemency Burton-Hill - HBO's The Last Of The Blonde Bombshells), an amateur sorceress join four heroes representing Intelligence, Wisdom, Honor and Strength to battle against Damodar's growing army of gruesome creatures--flying harpies and an ice dragon--to reach a vault room holding the orb. Together, they build their own army to retrieve the orb, using elemental forces to defeat Damodar before he summons the ing black dragon whose omnipotent evil powers could lay waste to the entire kingdom. ]]> .com ---- Wrath of the Dragon God, the sequel to the unfortunate 2000 theatrical release Dungeons and Dragons, is a pleasant surprise in that it not only hews closer to the popular role-playing game that provides its source material, but it's also an enjoyable fantasy adventure with plenty of action and special effects. Longtime movie heel Bruce Payne, who played a second-string villain in the first film, returns here as the evil sorcerer Damodar, who uses a sinister magic orb to launch an attack against a kingdom; a brave but untested group of adventurers (all character types from the game) band together to fight Damodar and his legion of monsters. Gerry Lively, a veteran director of photography on numerous low-budget genre films, guides the proceedings with a capable hand, and the script wisely jettisons the aggravating humor of the previous film in favor of straightforward action and derring-do. --Paul Gaita
