Dungeons and Dragons Review by Decker Shado

[@WookieeMonster1]

Jeremy Irons didn't chew the scenery in this one. He swallowed entire sets whole, co-stars included.

[@freddieoblivion6122]

I'm glad i found this channel - love the movie choices, and the comedy is wonderfully corny. Lots of nostalgia, also. Better late than never indeed.

[@JustinGoode-vu4li]

I'll be honest, it is so refreshing to hear a dnd movie review that doesn't crap on Snails. He was actually my favorite character (outside of Jeremy Irons, who everyone loves.)

[@lordinquisitor6233]

Only reason to watch this film is to laugh at Jeremy irons overacting

[@axelwulf6220]

Jeremy Irons just on principle

[@Insomniac2969]

Plus I love Jeremy Irons' performance, it's like a ham sandwich made with whole ham hocks as buns, garnished with baconators.

[@AdamAus85]

Lol that bloody dwarf making that noise always got me. Nice effort at the table re enacting it, hehe.

[@jlogan2228]

Jeremy irons was having the time of his life with this role and its the best part of the movie

[@danielwilliamson6180]

A decade before Dungeons and Dragons, Richard O' Brien was the host of the popular British adventure gameshow The Crystal Maze.

[@TrueMetis]

You know a D&D movie where the protagonists act like player characters could be funny as hell. As they min/max, rule lawyer, use talking as a free action to get through their quests. Just like a live action DM of the RIngs or Darths and Droids, it could be great.

[@Danzilla1996]

+TrueMetis It's called The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. You should watch it, the movie is great.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

If you wanna watch something that runs like role playing game watch Farscape. Those guys botch every roll but combat.

*sigh* Being a former RPG geek I remember being SO excited for this movie and than contemplating swearing off RPG's shortly after leaving the theater....

I know this review is about 8 years old, but 2:42 I like to point out the Red Wizards of Thay are canonical to Faerûn, in the Forgotten Realms of D&D.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Although she was very nervous I'm sure, the woman doing the review with Decker did a great job. It can be tough to get in front of a video like this let alone keep up with someone who has the charisma and rhythm of Decker. I know the comment section can be brutal... but I just wanted to tell her- great job!

[@GrubbJunker]

13:07 This is what happens when you roll a 1 for "stepping on a piece of paper".

[@Nightlord001]

You guys in the comments are so stupid. Even tho English isn't my native language and sure isn't one of my 3 first languages, I still manage to understand the girl without a problem. It is nice to see that she and Decker are playing so well together it is fun to watch. I wish she would participate on more reviews more often. You guys stating you "don't understand a word she sad" are plane ignorant and shouldn't be allowed to comment or even have access to the internet. go back into your room and play Mario-cart or pokemon all day long!! Decker and the girl, you did a nice review and keep up the good work!

[@Blisterdude123]

I adore this movie, its so awful. But I love it, it holds a special little place in my heart.

[@sarahocean8895]

I honestly love so much about the review, I just can't stand her being in the revieww as well. I found the parts with her talking much harder to listen to and understand, though she made some excellent points. In short, she's great for many things, just not for reviewing movies. Great job overall though :) and thank you for finally taking a somewhat unique approach to reviewing the movie instead of just straight-up slaughtering it like most other people do.

[@ElOchentero]

yeah, she is kind of bad actress

[@SunBunz]

Luppercus I've only recently discovered this guy's channel, and I love most of his reviews. I don't mean to be mean, but yeah, I wondered about this myself. She's probably a nice person, (a friend of his, I assume.) but it was very difficult to follow her dialogue, because she kept...kind of stuttering & slurring. (no offense, truly. I know it's tough speaking a script in front of a camera, maybe she's just painfully shy) but maybe he should stick to solo reviews. Every time she spoke, it slowed down the humor a lot, and made it very hard to pay attention to anything else going on in the video. I've seen some unkind comments about people suspecting whether she's mentally impaired or something. >_< Case in point; KZbin can suck butt. If you even talk funny a LITTLE, people are gonna focus more on that than anything else. I should know, I get plenty of trolls convinced I'm a boy, & say that I sound fat & ugly. lol That shit bounces right off, but at least I speak clearly & confidently! If I stutter during recording, I do another take.

[@ElOchentero]

Yes, kind of complex. Decker is my second favorite critic reviewer after Nostalgia Critic, and I think his videos are very very funny, but as everyone he is learning still.

[@SunBunz]

Luppercus I love the Critic too! :D Sometimes he can get a little irritating, but his opinions are so much like my own. This guy makes me laugh too, and is a bit more subtle. It's weird that they both remind me of Weird Al. lol

[@ElOchentero]

True, not all his videos are good, but most of them are funny, although exagerated. Decker is very funny because his videos look more honest and not rehersal, its like a common guy speaking, which I guess is the idea, as with Creepy, although sometimes Creepy is really Creepy. I recomed you Crimson Rouge is another good critic, his channel is The Book Was Better I think.

[@SuperKamiGuru-i3c]

Her manner of speaking is unusual. I like it

[@Lestat21500]

***** Probably because she isn't used to reading from a text card.

[@kurvos]

Not to say the girl in this video is bad or anything... but, she really needs to learn to rehearse her lines. I always read lines through once, then rehearse them once or twice, and then I tend to have to do a couple of takes before I'm satisfied. She says her lines like she only read through them once and tries her very best at guessing whatever it was she was supposed to say. No offense, just something I want to give as constructive criticism and to help out.

[@maxwellhonack9438]

+kurvos I think she has a speech impediment.

[@kurvos]

maxwell Honack Well, I wouldn't know if she has. I just know it makes it a little bit difficult to listen to to me personally.

[@Tigerfire75]

+kurvos Well it is no worse then watching some movies based on say books or games that are done horribly.

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

You are being nice. She ruined the review for me completely.

[@kurvos]

no hassle Well... yeah. Hate to admit it, but I honestly agree.

[@krumovies26]

Ahh, that era between Seinfeld and Pirates of the Caribbean where Lee Arenberg had to take roles like this one.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

I didn't see a problem having Decker's sister in the review. English is not my native language and I got everything she said. Didn't bother me at all. And it was nice to have somebody else to talk to Decker besides Creepy. Also: "In the state of Florida". Now, that's a great interpretation of an impossible to understand line! Loved that moment!

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

Does she have a speech impediment or something?

[@Stuffiestriver]

Son of Tiamat no, she is just reading the lines as she goes.

[@BlackRavenRiot]

Oh leave her alone. She's cute. 😁

[@morten5939]

pretty obviously she does; or she is acting a character with a speech impairment. doubt she is that good of an actor. There is something about the d's that get almost swallowed up, my brother had the same with "r"s when he was young. he said "L" instead of "r". was hillarious.

I was working in a movie theater when this came out so I got to watch it for free and I still wanted my money back. In all honesty it's a guilty Pleasure I kind of love it.

[@dfernand101]

@@rayruckus4446 thing is I laughed so hard but was trying to stall my laughter as there was a 40 something D&D fan in the cinema that was he himself laughing at the D&D 'in jokes' but telling other people (strangers) to 'shut up' when he thought they were laughing at innapropriate times. Yes he had severe aspergers but I didn't want an argument or for it to turn violent so what I did is I bit my tongue quite hard to stop myself laughing all the way through and when that didn't work I doubled over and put my hand on my mouth, I think I riped some muscle fibres in my stomach with the convultions of laughter. The entire experience was like magic, all the audience was laughing etc I'll never forget it. I think it was in a central London cinema, might have been the Curzon which usually shows art house movies but could have been a small Odeon cinema instead.

[@rayruckus4446]

@@dfernand101 As popular as DND has become lately I think they have a real shot at making a new movie and doing it quite well. There are a fair amount of big name actors out there that are well known players and I don't know I just think it could be done.

[@WindyREDPanda]

17:04 The 4th Doctor, Tom Baker!!

[@NoESanity]

2:40 yes, slaves... that can wander around and do basically whatever they want including start guilds and have professions.... the term should have been peasants, which is basically like every fantasy setting ever, non-magicals are basically trash and unless you are some form of nobility you or someone of exceptional ability, you are stuck as a basic peasant unable to affect the government or world around you... kind of like real life. if you weren't a noble, royal, war hero, or wealthy you were essentially stuck as little more than a slave for... basically the entire history of the human race. p.s. there are dozens of settings where this is also true... like forgotten realms for dnd or Thedas for DA. 3:25 the creation of a magic item, especially something that by p&p would fall under the wondrous item rules, is a huge feat that takes even high level characters weeks getting the time and materials together. it would be very appropriate for some minor "after these 3 weeks of working 8 hours a day on this one thing it's finally done" celebration, even if the rod ends up not being powerful enough to work. 4:00 which all depends on the setting in which you are playing. P.S. being "later than jurassic park" doesn't mean a fucking thing... jurassic park had more than double the budget and have you ever actually gone and looked at the CGI vs the practical effects, the cgi in jurassic park is pretty bad, sure not as bad as d&d2000 but at least this movie has budget as an excuse. 4:35 except tiamat, bahamut, asgorath, pretty much every immortal or god of the dragons, as they have pretty complete control over dragons... at least the ones within their domains. 5:20 again, another "setting" issue. you are the type of DM who gets upset that a player wants to be a Kinder in eberron because they are a dragonlance only race aren't you. p.s. basic chemistry, sodium, potassium, calcium... there are plenty of elements and thus compounds that will cause water to ignite or explode, and that's ignoring the concept of magic. 10:15 "useful for the first time all movie" except for the part 30 seconds ago where he beat down the guards and gave the group enough time to escape into the sewers... .17:10 there is no reason an elf wouldn't appear to be old as they age. Unlike tolkien elves, D&D elves have life spans with expected ends, they would thus age similar to all other races over the course of that life span. (this is why there are rules for elves at middle, old and venerable age with decreased physical stats) 17:30 setting. again. 23:20 it's not uncommon for lost characters to be resurrected at the end of a campaign, often through nothing more than DM fiat or divine intervention... so not bullshit.

Electrolysis would make the water ignite. If the water was broken up into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, you have it burn (back into water) but the electricity needed for this reaction would cause the water to boil and trouble. Or it could just be magic.

I think a lot of reviews are a bit too harsh on this movie. I mean, the director spent over a decade of his life making his childhood dream a reality, created a whole new world specifically to avoid fanboy gripes about the lore, and even did a lot of camera work himself. What have, really, ANY of us done lately?

[@tylerskiss]

while I do agree the dedication is admirable... it's a pretty bad film. Just because someone puts a lot of effort into something and does it for all the right reasons doesn't mean its good. Look at that film Dangerous Men that took 30 years to complete- and it's complete crap!

the elves look pretty wrong in this movie. the girl elf(whos hot as hell) is black for some reason. im sure there arent any black elves unless theyre dark elves which she doesnt seem to be. and the other elf is an old man , which is weird because elves dont age and an old elf would still look young

[@NoESanity]

1, why wouldn't an elf be brown? sure they have fair skin, but melanin can still be fair. hate to break it to you, but anything that would cause black humans would also cause black elves. (not to mention she could just be a half elf (or not pure elf) with a black human ancestor) 2, yes elves do visibly age. while it is much slower, in every setting for DnD and just about every other fantasy world. In middle earth Tolkien was a bit contradictory saying that elves do age but so slowey that an entire lifetime would pass before any noticeable difference could be seen, while also saying they completely stop physically aging after 100... either way this isn't middle earth, and dnd elves have a set lifespan, thus do age.

No Clerics in this movie {no I'm not counting Tom Baker's Druid}, The Cleric in the 2nd Movie decides to try and turn either a White Dragon or a Dracolich {I still can't tell which} and either way that's IMPOSSIBLE which he'd know! And in the 3rd Movie we have Pelor deciding that his Paladins need to do an Evil Act before they can get their powers - WHAT THE PUCK HOLLYWOOD!?! 5) Don't know why you keep saying Ridley's Lvl 1 as he clearly has to be at least Lvl 7 and probably a fighter/rogue Dual-Class rather than pure rogue. DDoor is a Lvl 4 Spell so Marina is also at least Lvl 7! OK Here goes my attempt at giving these characters levels.... Profion: Lvl 18 Wizard Damodar: Lvl 10 Fighter Ridley: Lvl 1 Fighter/6 Rogue {Dual-Class} Marina: Lvl 7 Wizard Snails: Lvl 7 Rogue The Dwarf: Lvl 7 Barbarian 6) That final scene was an absolute JOKE!
