All right, now show me pouting! I want pouting! Now show me sassy! You're a sassy dragon! Ohh, you're a DIRTY little dragon, aren't you?! Ha-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
@ambskater97 You've no right to call me 'kid', you eleven year old nutless bitch. This isn't bad acting, go troll on your diapers instead of youtube will ya, boy? This place is for adults.
@flickeriesLook, firstly, I'm 22 and my nuts are well intact. Second, I'm a male human, not a female dog, so the word "bitch" is irrelevant. And third and last, the acting isn't bad (I've seen worse. Have you ever seen The Room?) It's just over-the-top and hilarious to look at, but anyone who has played D&D and pays close attention to the movie would know they did everything wrong.
This is without a doubt from one of the greatest movies of all time. It is as every bit epic as you all would have probably (not) heard. The characters, the story, the themes, and (especially) the special effects and filming are absolutely amazing if not groundbreaking. It's up there with Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, and Howard the Duck.
Fans of so-bad-it's-good cinema, we must turn this into a cult classic. Spread the word about this film, and tell everyone to re-watch it. It is ripe for rediscovery.
Isn't it funny? Irons acts in two films about dragons (neither of which were good) and remains the most entertaining thing about both for different reasons. I'm assuming when he saw that not even an enjoyably hammy performance could save this film he figured he could do something with Eragon as he actually had some mildly passable dialouge as opposed to guys like Malkovich and Carlyle. At least he made that one something you could sit through without being permantly damaged.
Well I never said that, but I can respect your opinion about him. I liked him quite a bit in other things (most notably Of Mice and Men), but you can't win them all I guess.
This is one of the funniest, most drop-dead hilarious performances of all time. No one can say they've seen overacting until they've seen Jeremy Irons in "Dungeons and Dragons." Sometimes I'm going through my day and all of a sudden I think, "Let their blood rain from the skyyyyyyyy!" and I lose it. Thank you, Jeremy Irons, for creating the Holy Grail of overacting.
Man I love this film. By all accounts, it isn't good, but it's certainly fun. It's less like Troll 2 and more like the first Evil Dead in its brand of 'cult-ness'.
I finally got around to seeing this film. I was laughing at it it was so bad. I have a feeling it's like a cult film, you know, like Samurai Cop or Troll 2, a film so bad it's funny.
If an actor has fun playing his role, it's always difficult not to have fun yourself. Then it doesn't matter if the movie itself is good, bad or horrible. And sometimes overacting makes the character even better (Helena Bonham Carter in Harry Potter for instance). Irons pretty much saves this movie, and even if you don't like it, consider it a nice frame of reference to compare to his better movies.
So bad it's awesome but you guys don't get something. The whole thing would be far, FAR worse is Irons wasn't so hammy and over-the-top. The goofy acting fits the goofy tone of the whole movie. If he downplayed the role and came off as just mediocre compared to the other characters, the result would not only be bad, but also not fun. He's so experienced, he knows a fun villain is either subtle or bombastic. And since the first (obviously) won't work here, YAH TAH TAH TAH TAH is the best option.
@forcommongood Marlon Wayans didn't fit in with the movie's setting at all but come on, the whole movie would've sucked anyway. From the protagonist's birdhair to the blue lipstick guy to the bad CGI and costumes.

Stop whining, this was a good movie. It wasn't bad acting, heck anyone with magic they could use on whim would be abit lunatic and unrealistic in the way they view the world. Abit over dramatic and perhaps loony, everyone portrayed their roles well in this movie and I did like the movie alot.
So get a room, grow a **** and stop whining about a good movie just because you want to 'sage' on it.
You know, I think he was the only person who took their role seriously. The rest of them were horrible.
People kept asking "Why the hell was Jeremy Irons in THIS film???"
Personally, I think it's because he's a serious actor. He takes his role seriously, even if it's a shit script with stupid directions, he still takes it on as if it's an important film. And I fully respect him for that.
So yeah, he sits on the dumb movie list, but I have full respect for his acting quality. Always.
@Loafaeralus Dude, he's said that he took this job to pay for renovating a castle he had just bought. XDD And if you watch him in other shit films like Eragon, and Pink Panther 2, he's doing it for fun (and money). But watch him in Dead Ringers, and you'll see the difference of him playing seriously.
@theodora2345 Oh dude, don't get me wrong. As stated above, I have full respect for his acting abililties, and believe he was one of the only people who took their role seriously. Apart from that lovely lass who plays marina of pretenza. She seemed pretty solid in her part too.
@theodora2345 Eragon is by far my favorite series, and I don't even associate that movie with the same name. However, Jeremy Irons was amazing in it, as always.
DnD is not a setting, it is a set of tools, that, when put to proper use, can form a generic fantasy setting. DnD is meant to be played, not to be turned into a movie. If there was a say Forgotten Realms: Legend of Drizzt movie, then that would be awesome.
All right, now show me pouting! I want pouting! Now show me sassy! You're a sassy dragon! Ohh, you're a DIRTY little dragon, aren't you?! Ha-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
