Alright it seems like this guy is a LN(g) wannabe paladin who didn't cut now he's joined a chaotic evil party with a female magic user, a sort of death master, a fighter and a thief. The thief used a potion of invisibility to backstabbing some guy. And the death master guy used a wizard eye type spell but his eye stretched out of the docket.

Overall monster count was a red dragon, an armed and armored spectre and some unique undead young girl. The character party was very 2e/3e style and the story seemed from a game that was handed out as a limited participation storytelling with D&D accoutrements.

Was the movie worth watching?
I actually enjoyed the D&D movie "Wrath of the Dragon God." At least, it is the closest I've yet seen to a movie based on the game and staying fairly true to it as far as character classes, magic, etc. The production values were subpar, but it had the right intentions. I bought this DVD for the EGG interview.
I'd like to know the story behind this EGG commentary. It almost seemed as if the someone was trying to get EGG's buy in for this film, and he was graciously going along with it -- to be nice, by emphasizing the things they got right.
I'm divided on this sort of thing. On one side, I think if they can't get the big budget and high production value, don't bother. On the other side, I keep thinking with the right script and a good cast, D&D can show its potential as source material for making good movies. On "Wrath of the Dragon God' they got the character classes right, magic and spells right, and had the concept of the character party, but the script wasn't great -- just okay. The basic story just seemed like cookie-cutter fantasy with a lot of CGI thrown in. IMO, it is worth watching for the thief and the barbarian (a gorgeous clean-cut barbarian girl... okay, too clean-cut).
P. S. Is this the only EGG interview recorded on DVD?

For a sleazy movie it wasn't bad except the paladin / cleric romance seems to entertain something wrong which culminates in this really weird and disturbing detect evil scene involving the undead child. Something about the paladin suggests something "cute" sort of in the vein of that version of Superman so I don't know where that was aimingexcept the obvious. Good/paladin seems to be analogy for something else here if you catch what I mean. Otherwise it seemed to be somewhat of a better production that standard SYFY shark/Bigfoot/John Schneider crapola but not much of a strict D&D movie but more elements instead.
