Hmm... there'll probably be another fantasy movie made at some point in time...
On the subject of Elminster, though, I'd have to agree with NebTron. El-boy is a munchkin... and Greenwood doesn't seem to be able to stand not having Elminster magically annihilate large groups of people excessively easily. I thought Elminster in Hell might not have been too bad, during the first portion of it... but then the ending was (at least in my opinion) utterly stupid and had nothing to do with the rest of the book... and the book itself could have been better, methinks...
As for the D&D movie, I personally hated it... can't remember the exact problems any more, although they probably involved the fact that there were about two or so actual monsters I can remember in the thing (dragons and beholders), one of which did nothing... and the thief suddenly dicing up that funny warrior henchman guy after being beat up horribly by him a bit earlier... and why they decided not to try to resurrect the thief who fell off the building/cliff/whatever it was... and the fact that I found the characters to be somewhat highly uninteresting... and the movie seemed skip over large portions of stuff that should have been there... wow, lot of stuff.
