**Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God

Warner Brothers, 105 minutes, NR

DVD $19.99

Ok - this movie played out slower than a normal gaming session. It starts out with Damodar (played by Bruce Payne) the villain from the first movie who finds an orb that will break the curse set upon him. He then plots to awaken his dark god to rule over the world.

Meanwhile, Berek and Melora (played by Mark Dymond and Clemency Burton-Hill ) are summoned to see why people aren returning from a cave. There they find a dragon sleeping and a possible larger plot. When Melora tries to locate the source through a magic spell, Damodar curses her for snooping. Now, Berek must gather together four heroes: Lux, the female Barbarian (Ellie Chidzey); Dorian, a cleric (Steven Elder);, Ormaline an Elf Wizard (Lucy Gaskell); and Nim, a Rogue (Tim Stern), to bring back the orb to break the curse.

The plot seems to go more into what is happening to Melora than to the adventurers. The special effects and Dragons are nicely done; but for a movie called rath of the Dragon God there aren many dragons. There were two traps, 3 puzzles, 3 magical items, and, I think, a max of ten spells used throughout the movie. This could have been a better movie but at least it was better than the first movie. - Ninjakittyofdoom
