Critics Consensus

Critics say this movie has a cheap look and is badly directed. Despite the presence of talented actors, the performances are really bad, and additionally, some people are offended at Marlon Wayans' character, calling it a racist throwback to black stereotypes.

If you’re wondering why it took until 2023 for Hollywood to turn the iconic role-playing game into a movie, that’s just how long it took to wash off the stink caused by this 2000 disasterpiece.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Almost totally devoid of redeeming facets, not even really bad enough to be funny, since one of the things it is worst at is providing comedy.

Rated: 1/10

I absolutely love the film. It's funny and simple made and it doesn't take itself too serious. The story is holding up and special effects is not always digital but made by hand.

Bad acting, terrible CGI that looks like something off an early PS2 game, chunky dialogue with a script full of pot holes... So can someone PLEASE tell me why I enjoyed this as much as I did? Jeremy Irons clearly took the role for the pay day but is the definite highlight as he hams it up and has a blast.
