I liked the sword fight stuff. Wulfgar looked like he needs to eat his Wheaties though. |
Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver). |

The sword fighting was decent but their swords looked like grilling utensils instead of weapons. |

better than I could have done. For a fan film, that was pretty good. Agreed though, Wulfgar needed to swallow a box of something to get him bigger. Artemis needed to be thinner too. The chick was decently hot though. |

Eww. It's almost as horrible as The Book of Vile Darkness. |

'Twas a film school project for a friend of a friend at the University of Texas. I believe it was his big final project. It was pitched as a proof-of-concept video to Hollywood, to show them that there is enough meat there in the Drizzt books to make some good movies.
I was invited to join the party. It would've basically amounted to some pretty darn involved LARP sessions! But alas, my work schedule wouldn't jibe with their shooting schedule.
I was that close to playing Bruenor for all you ladies and gents! |

This was a school project with virtually zero budget no doubt. What excuse did the official movies have? |

I enjoyed the Book of Vile Darkness. On it's own it was definitely the best of the D&D movies, and it had decent effects for a low budget picture. |

You're joking, right? If not, well, I respect that. We clearly see things differently. |

Well, I'm certainly not nominating it for any Oscars, but I thought it was a fun, fairly well written and well acted adventure film that captured a lot of the feel of a D&D campaign. I also liked the idea of following a protagonist that was forced to compromise his ideals for the greater good.
The inclusion of a shadar-kai and a goliath, and complete absence of elves, was a plus. |
