The sad thing is, Marlon Wayans can be a good actor when given a chance. Watch Requieum for a Dream to see a good performance from him. The movie is totally depressing, it's like being punched in the face while the fist has salt on it. But still, it's a good, well acted film. He really should do more dramatic films because he's not bad at it.
Over-Acting should win. Over-Acting is always fun to watch. plus it's fucking Jeremy Irons! He can go over the top and make it awesome! Under-Acting it's just boring!
Jeremy Irons was not overacting!!! He was taking his role seriously!!! Yeah, the dialogue and script wasn't an Oscar-worthy one, but he does his best to make the movie somewhat good (plus he makes a good villain).
I admit, this is one of my guilty pleasures along with the Street Fighter movie.
did the critic not notice that the sword fighting scean was very, ok EXACTLY, like the star wars scean where luke fought vader for the first time... i mean COMEON they even have the same color sceam! blue - good guy and red - bad guy
Oh, don't worry anyone. The dragon didn't kill Profion at around 11:50: he took him to the world of "Eragon" where he'd have to actually deliver more subdued acting when compared to everyone else!
Somewhere I can hear the empress laughing her ass off in the most dull and wooden way possible at the delicious irony...
Upon watching the deleted scenes of this movie, i found that they made the movie make more sense and actually (if you can believe it) would have helped make it a better film had they been there XD The alternate ending with Snails staying dead is also more powerful and not nearly as random and strange as the one they picked XD all in all the deleted scenes would have made this a much "Better" film XD
Thank You Critic, but the movie really sucked, so I have to say that this movie is so disgrace that it didn't based on the board game that the fans won't wanted to see and I think it's wonderfully stupid, but it really sucks.
2:10 I remember hearing this in the simpsons years ago. Homer and Marge where listening to a concert, and suddenly they start to play the star wars theme, but it's a jazz version. And Homer says: Hmph... Louzy mixers, George Lucas must be rolling in his grave!
Richard O'Brien is begging for joke reference of The Crystal Maze in this review starting from 1:04. Unlikely because how many Americans are familiar of this game show?
Still I do like the one Jeremy iron's scene,Oh I just shit my pant's,wait I can work with it,my character would shit his pant's! Mwuaahhahaha! So I think this film could be considered so bad it's good.And this is like the funniest video on you tube thus far!
It's a family film,if you look at it that way it's not that bad.I mean who couldn't make fun of the original Harry potter for having ghost's flying around for no apparent reason.It's like what the hell?
@thedeadpoolchannel No! Of course not!....................then again, David Carridine appeared in a recente martial arts movie trailer. So I guess anything's possible.
has any 1 seen the second movie? it has WORSE effects and shittier characters but apprently it follows the game insanely close!
Ive never played the game though - the second movie is entertaining if you like fantasy movies but it is even more stupid then this 1 and it is a see to believe lol
Richard O' Brian XD, awesome. I love how he deliberatly overacts in the few scens he's in,he clearly knew the movie was terrible so he was just screwing with it.
If Profion had just bothered to prepare a Time Stop spell, an Etherealness spell, a Teleportation Circle spell, or ANY other useful fucking magic Wizards know, he could have avoided that whole 'being eaten by a dragon thing.' Then we could have a sequel with Profion.
LMFAO 9:40 FIRE AGAIN!! FIRE!!! ARRAUGHAGHHH FI-YAAARRR!!! GEDD UB GEDD UB!! MOOVE DAT CROSSBOW!!! ABDABAHDAAH!?!?? DESTROY THEM BEFORE THEY REACH TO IT!!! PREPEAR TO FIYA AGAIN!!

Underacting vs. Overacting indeed. And both taken to the extreme. Irons acts like he's on the world's ultimate cocaine bender, while Birch says her lines with all the energy of a DMV clerk on Monday morning.
I tend to side with Irons, however, because he's at least having fun and his overacting is so perversely awful that it's hypnotizing. Birch just looks like she's waiting for her check to clear before running for the hills.
If you are interested in roleplaying games, like D&D, you should check out this great music video about Dungeons & Dragons! We really tried to capture how awesome it is. :)
