DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: THE SEQUEL is based upon the highly successful role playing game, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. The sequel's adventure tells the story of an evil wizard who steals a black orb which controls a sleeping black dragon. An aspiring sorceress and a decorated warrior are summoned to defend the kingdom as evil forces lay waste. A battle for control of the kingdom unfolds in this classic tale of good vs. evil.

Ah. They're back to the "controlling dragons" part. At least they're using "real" D&D items this time...
Me, I want to see a D&D movie where the dragons aren't controlled by mere mortals. Y'know, so they're a credible threat instead of the lackey of some wannabe bad guy. Also, I want to see a cleric.
Actually, this seems as good a time as any...
A D&D movie should not be outright stereotypical, but should get the basics across to "nonbelievers" and have some deeper stuff that fans would get.
Firstly: human, elf, dwarf, halfling; fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue. Not necessarily respectively, but those two sets of four are the basics of D&D.
Secondly: fighter starts off as the most dangerous, and ends up as the least dangerous. Cleric starts off as a proselytizing weenie, but becomes a welcome addition thanks to his healing power, to say nothing of his firepower. Rogue starts off as a wanted thief, and ends up dealing the deathblow to the bad guy, who doesn't see it coming. The wizard starts off as a sage-like character, and becomes the most powerful member in the party by movie's end.
Thirdly: a dragon. Either as a major ally or the big villain. NOT AS A BLOODY LACKEY.
That's all I can think of for now.
