"Is that the best you've got?! Come On!"
Haji and Jeannie battle the evil Profion in a struggle for power!
Without a cartoon dragon to devour the Dark Mage, will the Genies prevail?!
You're probably asking, "What's this? TV Land meets the SciFi Channel?" That would be a good guess.
A couple weekends ago, I saw parts from a rather bad movie - from the standpoint of direction, graphics, scenes that should have been re-shot, writing, line delivery, acting, etc. The film was Dungeons and Dragons made in 2000. The one thing that stuck out the most for me was the awesome, over the top performance by Jeremy Irons as Profion. This guy is bad and likes it so much it drips off of him. He's just covered in Bad!
He reminds me in a way of a diabolical Leo Sayer...
The movie had an odd bit of magic sparkle, that wasn't consistent with what others have described as Dungeons and Dragons the game (I'm not familiar with it myself although I could tell this missed the mark). When seeing the glittery magic, the first thing that came to my mind was Jeannie (Barbara Eden) coming out of her bottle in a puff of pink smoke. So there you have it. Genie vs Mage
Another character that is starting to grow on me is Profion's bald, blue lipped companion, Damador. I've just got to get a suit like that!
