Dungeons & Dragons (2000)
Runtime: 1 hr 47 mins
The Empress possesses a scepter which controls Izmer's Golden Dragons. To challenge her rule, Profion must have the scepter, and tricks the Council of Mages into believing Savina is unfit to hold it. Knowing that Profion will bring death and destruction to Izmer, Savina, must find the legendary Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that has the power to control Red Dragons, a species even mightier than the Gold.
Enter two thieves, Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans), who unwittingly become instrumental in Savina's search for the Rod. Joined by a feisty Dwarf named Elwood (Lee Arenberg), and helped by the Empress's expert tracker, the Elf Norda (Kristen Wilson), the young heroes go in search of the Rod of Savrille.
From the deadly maze of the Thieves Guild at Antius to an Elven Village, secret grotto and abandoned castles, Ridley and his band must outwit Profion's chief henchman Damodar (Bruce Payne) at every turn while back in Izmer, Profion prepares to do battle with the Empress. All depends on the Rod, but outcome of the race to reach it first is far from certain, and Izmar's very survival hangs in the balance… [Less]

Reviews
Most of the special effects have that vapory digital look that has become very ho-hum by now.
Any dungeon master worth his 20-sided dice could have whipped up a better scenario.
TV-trained performers yelling at each other, second-rate computer-generated graphics failing to conjure up an enchanted world and Marlon Wayans doing what can only be called a heartfelt tribute to Butterfly McQueen...
Dungeons & Dragons, a misbegotten exercise in abject incompetence, produces all the magic and fun of a slow root canal.
