Dungeons & Dragons
The Empire of Izmer is a divided land: elite magicians called “mages” rule while lowly commoners are powerless. When Empress Savina vows to bring equality and prosperity to her land, the evil mage Profion plots to depose her.

Profion and Empress fight with red and gold dragons respectively
Thora Birch as Empress Savina advocates for commoner rights
The film's biggest rise occurs during the dragon battle finale, jumping from mediocre dungeon crawling to the most entertaining sequence according to multiple reviewers.
Dungeons & Dragons maintains consistently poor audience reception throughout most of its runtime, with Jeremy Irons' hammy villain and terrible performances from the leads creating persistent negative sentiment. The film reaches its lowest point during Thora Birch's wooden empress introduction but recovers slightly for the climactic dragon battle. Despite occasional fantasy elements that show promise, the overwhelming critical consensus describes it as one of the worst films of 2000.
