Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

pietroschek Dungeons & Dragons 3 – Book of Vile DarknessD&D has grown adult, and the third movie is finally mature and courageous enough to dare using protagonists who are antiheroes at best, or hellbent villains at their worst. Once again the lower- budget movies' value has to do with its authenticity to the roleplaying game it IS attached to. To give an example to readers:The wizard of the group, actually a wizard by base class and vermin lord by prestige class, is really inspired by a class which the supposedly evil Book of Vile Darkness allows roleplayers to create. Seemingly it is based on the outdated 3,5 or 4th edition of the game-books.The Shadakai Witch then, just to mention one special aspect, is able of healing magic, as is shown in the movie. This is crucial for a disciplined witch is much more subtle than another religious cleric all too eager to pester absolutely everyone with another sermon about why his or her deity is the best choice... My hint is comparing her to the main evil witch of 'Hansel & Gretel – Witchhunters', as that one was well-performed, and showing a veteran, no-nonsense wicked evil lady.Just as a paladin does not start all-flawless among the do-good- meddlers, so does evil not automatically mean perfection either. Roleplayers of D&D call it levels. Levels of Experience, which is in example earned by adventuring and vanquishing foes, means growing levels of competence. To give some well known examples: 1: Gandalf from Lord of the Rings was a wizard. Gandalf the Grey was a lower level than Gandalf the White ( or Black, if Evil), for the change of robes signaled it. 2: A boyscout age 12 could be considered a ranger level 1, but to form guys like Aragorn, Lord of the Rings, or Jon Snow,Game of Thrones, it would need a progressive development which roleplayers would consider the accumulation of advanced levels of experience in the ranger character class. 3: In real life a paramedic is a less competent healer than the accomplished doctors, still both could be considered to be of the healing class. The details then come due experience gain which is symbolizing the increasing of competences (and special effects for movies). This movie is mostly for adults. It gives hints at sex, murder for fun, personal gratification & profit, uses the concept of 'Liquid Pain' from the written Book of Vile Darkness, and uses monsters, like the Undead Child, to grow beyond & above the monster-slayer stereotype. Technically it remains a lower-budget work, still the actors are motivated, aware of what role they play and doing their best in a humorous yet darkly crueler way. It makes this movie outstanding among roleplayers, as 'good-guy charades' are considered a more proper, but actually only more stupid, moralist & hypocrite way to make use of Dungeons & Dragons. Context: A knight who was just a little bit befuddled by his supposed deity's reaction to his dedication awakes left for dead and has to face the selfish task of rescuing his father along with the chance to fight some real Evil. Contrary to dumbest and most crude approach he cannot just draw his sword and make all the bad guys jump into it. Henceforth he has to learn how to infiltrate a villainous group of evil adventurers, play along with their goals, and ultimately remember his real priorities. To the benefit of the audience this is achieved without making the other characters ill- portrayed or suppressed! A Non-Roleplayer can rightfully vote it 0 to 10 by taste. But as one of the movies blending acting and roleplaiyng into one the achievements, many unique and first time dared, should result in a rating of 6 to 10. My class-choice by book? Base Class: Wizard; Prestige Class: Diabolist or Disciple of Mephistopheles. ;-)

Fahad Mehar 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

redhighlander I went into this film expecting it to be awful. I hated the first two films in the franchise - unlike many here, I thought the 2nd film was far worse than the 1st, and the 1st one was bad. I was pleasantly surprised by this one (the 3rd).Sure, it is cheesy at times. Some of the dialog is stilted, and the acting is spotty in places (like the shopkeeper, for example). The first battle sequence was worrisomely bad (as in, oh no. . .), but mercifully short. However, the rest of the fights scenes were well done. The CGI was much better than the first two films. While it was still obviously low budget, I have seen worse in theatrical movies. So, it was money well spent.Remember how embarrassed Jeremy Irons looked in the first movie? There's none of that here. The actors try, and for the most part succeed, in playing their parts well. Some of them were quite good, others are amateurish in parts, but over all they were good.The story was decent. The script could have used some improvements. Without spoiling anything, the end felt rushed and forced. The tone was a much darker take than previous entries in the serious, and that turns out to be a vast improvement.I am puzzled by a lot of online reviews / summaries of this film, which describe the plot inaccurately, and even list characters and actors that are not in the movie. Even IMDb lists Meagan Good in the cast, when she's not in it. Clearly, these reviewers have not bothered to watch.In conclusion, I would watch this for free on cable or Netflix, but it might not be worth paying to see. If you are a fan of D&D, RPGs in general, or S&S films, give it a shot, and you may just like it.If you're not a fan of any of the above, I can't relate to you, so this review may not apply. :-)

ChaCha DiGregorio This movie has a great story, a surprisingly dark tone, and a solid cast. The special effects are also really well done, particularly considering what must have been a low budget. My boyfriend and I are gamers and old school D&D dorks so we were expecting to be underwhelmed. Instead, we both found this movie to be really entertaining. People and dragons get blowed up "real good", there are some cool witchy spells, an unpredictable villain (Bezz), and the male lead is easy on the eyes. It definitely reminded me of a D&D adventure where a group of evil PCs run amok. Don't let the low budget production value or crowd pleasing cheese scare you off. This is good, cheerful fun.
