Well the first one was a horrible movie with a relatively high budget ... OTH the second movie was pretty decent for a B movie.
Just watching the trailer... tird movie seems embarassing to the brand and those involved. WotC shouldn't sell D&D's name so easily to make this kind of crap.

Wizards did not sell the rights to the movies. Courtney Solomon bought the rights from TSR in the 1990's. Don't blame Wizards for this one. Blame Lorraine Williams.
Given that Solomon can make D&D movies with absolutely no control from Wizards, Wizards does its best to try to market around it.

That makes sense, WotC might be a lot of things but they aren't stupid.

You can, but only once. That friend can't give it to anyone else. The holy corporation has spoken. Stop complaining and give them all your money.

I do not play video games.
then why do you care?

(Quotes screwed up on the next one, won't give the poster's name. It's in the Best Lines thread on the D&D forum)
First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that. 
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.

2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???

Thanks for the enlightenment. Hope it expires anytime soon then.
I watched some parts of it, couldn´t make it to the end. there are some sweet scenes that reminds me of RPG tables, but the whole production is so amateurish the result is disastrous. FX and make up are really a joke.

Though I'm not privy to Solomon's agreement, everywhere it's been described as a purchase to the rights to make D&D movies, not a license. So I don't think it can expire. All we can do is wait until Solomon desperately needs cash, at which point he'll sell the rights to someone else. Or dies, in which case someone else will inherit them. Or the copyrights to D&D expire, at which point anybody can make a D&D movie.
