The taget audience was not the D&D players, it was the people who knew nothing od D&D. They just wanted to show and explain D&D a little.

Like the part where the "stupid" thief ask the elf's age saying something like this:

thief"hey! we could go out! I know you are older than me, but I could always take an aging potion!"
elf:"I am 200 years old..."
thief:"ew.... I don't want to age that much!"

You see, the way they are showing it is false. She might be 200 years old, but she is not mentally or physically older than him, she is just a young adult. They just said what they did, to show the people that don't know D&D, that elf where living longer.

There are a lot of things like that in the movie, and that is what disapoint me.

When I went to saw the movie, I thought they made a movie for ME. Not for the poeple who don't know what D&d is. That being said, I still enjoyed the movie, and still watch it from time to time.
