Wrath of the Dragon God, the sequel to the unfortunate 2000 theatrical release Dungeons and Dragons, is a pleasant surprise in that it not only hews closer to the popular role-playing game that provides its source material, but it's also an enjoyable fantasy adventure with plenty of action and special effects. Longtime movie heel Bruce Payne, who played a second-string villain in the first film, returns here as the evil sorcerer Damodar, who uses a sinister magic orb to launch an attack against a kingdom; a brave but untested group of adventurers (all character types from the game) band together to fight Damodar and his legion of monsters. Gerry Lively, a veteran director of photography on numerous low-budget genre films, guides the proceedings with a capable hand, and the script wisely jettisons the aggravating humor of the previous film in favor of straightforward action and derring-do. --Paul Gaita
