<Spoilers for Dungeons and Dragons >
There’s a power-struggle between the Queen and the Council. The council controls the military, the queen has a wand of “summon and control”
An old loyal to the queen wizard discovers that there’s another wand of “summon and control billions of dragons”
If this gets into the hands of the Eeee-Vil head of the council, the balance of power will be tipped and chaos will run amok!
Does the wizard burn the one reference book that has this information and then kill himself so no-one will ever discover it again?
No.
Does the wizard get one or two loyal people and try to find the item to break it?
No.
Does the wizard decide to have it retrieved?
Yes.
Does he choose people known for their loyalty, discression and stealth?
No.
Does he pick two bumbling incompetents who couldn’t find their asses with both hands?
Yes.
Are they instructed to break the wand once they get it?
No.
The whole movie was gibberish but it was redeemed in the end 'cause everyone died. Although I’m not sure why, exactly, they died.
The dumbest part of the movie is that, rather than throwing a few bones to their built-in audience (gamers), they chose to toss the “D&D” rules out the window, thus alienating the one group who could otherwise be counted on to go. Since when is a prime material component of EVERY spell pixie dust? :rolleyes:
It would have taken a couple of changes of dialogue to get the names of the freaking spells right and endeared themselves to gamers everywhere. Instead, they pissed everyone off.
