DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (2000) Make no mistake about it, this is definitely a BAD movie. The acting is atrocious and the whole thing is cheesy as hell, with plot holes to boot and things that just don't make sense. This movie doesn't really seem to have a purpose. I can't see how these people could not know they were making a bad movie, which leads me to think that maybe it's just really bad on purpose?! Probably not, but you'd sure think it was, because I don't see how anyone could think this was actually going to be a quality movie. The acting was so horrible. Even the talented Thora Birch manages to be bad here. It was like it was a vacation for her from movies where she actually has to do a good job. She basically just stumbles through this, not even trying to give a decent performance. Hell, next to everyone else here, she could have given a performance that would have looked Oscar-worthy. But you could tell she wasn't really "into" it, and was just there to cash a paycheck. It's not like it would have saved the movie if she would have given a good performance anyway. Justin Whalin gives a truly terrible performance in some scenes. The part after *********SPOILERS*********Snails (Wayans) dies*********END SPOILERS********* and he breaks down and yells, I could hardly hold myself back from cracking up laughing. That was just so cheesy over-the-top. Then there's a couple of more scenes where he really goes beyond horrible. I actually didn't mind him much at first, but then at about the halfway point I thought he got just plain AWFUL. However, the absolute worst and most over-the-top performance comes from Jeremy Irons as Profion. OH MY GOD was he so BAD. Right from the beginning he was just plain CHEESY, except even cheesy seems like too tame of a word to describe it. He gave new meaning to the word cheesy. I don't think words can explain just how truly terrible and hilariously HORRIBLE his performance is. I was in disbelief. This has to be one of the worst performances I have ever seen in a movie. Despite how truly bad this movie is, I was still never really bored. It was actually somewhat entertaining. It would also be a fun movie to make fun of with friends. This movie can be downright HILARIOUS! It is just such a BAD BAD BAD movie. It is full of cheese, cheese, and extra cheese. Don't take my rating the wrong way, this is a bad movie by all means. However, it was entertaining trash, and perfect to laugh at. Grade: 5/10 (C-)
